I Don't CareMegadeth3.0 out of 5 stars · Jul 6

The riff has that snotty Killing Is My Business snarl and Teemu's solo is the best thing on it, no contest. Lyrics are where it falls apart, Dave snarling like he's telling off a substitute teacher, and it gets old by the second chorus. Fine as a going-away single but I wanted real BITE out of a last record, not a punk stomp anyway.

If I FallAs I Lay Dying3.5 out of 5 stars · Jun 30

Didn't think the comeback singles would do much for me but the leads on this one RIP. The racing lead break is easily the best thing here, proper speed-metal flash poking through all the modern gloss. Clean chorus is where it loses me though, metalcore-by-numbers, Clancy sings fine but I'd take more of Lambesis barking and less of the big radio lift. Drums sound a hair too clicky and triggered for my taste too. Riffs move though, and that's most of the war. Solid, not essential, anyway.
