Dave Mustaine

I posted on a similar subject on another forum:

I think United Abominations sounds exactly like everything else Megadeth
has done before.

Same old riffs, same old vocals, the obligatory guitar solo. They haven't evolved as a band in decades. I guess that's why a lot of people like them but personally I feel as though I've already heard everything they have to offer and I'm not particularly interested in listening to more of the same.

You can say what you want about St. Anger and I don't personally think it was a very good album BUT at least Metallica attempted to do something new instead of rehashing the same old guitar riffs for the 100th time. A tactic which payed off when they were writing The Black Album and may pay off again the future. Who knows?
