"This albums' slow climb to the very top is representative of how it affects the listener. I first heard it and was like "yeah that was fine". Then months passed and I gave it no attention. Then I went back to it, and realized how much more than 'fine' it actually is! If it doesn't capture you on ..." Reply

"Oh Marty Friedman... why did you have to leave the world of metal? Tornado of Souls has one of my favorite guitar solos ever. This is technically speaking, Megadeth's best album. Holy Wars and Hanger 18 are immortal tracks." Reply

"This album is IN-SANE!!! I get it now. I finally get it. This thing is incredible. I wish this album was a hat so I could wear it and have it warm my cold head. I wish this album was weed so I could smoke it. It might as well be drugs because it gets me high as a cloud, man." Reply
