Honestly I had stopped caring after a point same with Tool and Necrophagist some years ago.
Here’s to hoping it’s worth the wait.
As an appreciator of Ukiyo-e art that cover is phenomenal.

I suspect with absolutely no tangible information whatsoever that Teemu joining Megadeth may have sped up the process. The album had to get out of the door at a time where Teemu’s still available to somewhat play with the band and promote it.

Ok, the 12 year wait was kind of worth it. It’s a phenomenal album.
The solo in this is unreal. The little Asian flourishes in the instrumentals and orchestrations throughout the album are cool.
I’d say that before 3:00 or so the drumming is hyperactive to the point of ruining the song. Then, in the middle, the drums calm down, and it sounds great! Then, the drums come back again… I hope they release another version of this song with the drums stripped back.

I agree. The arrangement, mixing and production is horrible! It is beyond a wall of sound, there is no room for anything, and the drums are (and likely everything else) is clipping to the point of farting out! I have never heard that before. It’s just too much of EVERYTHING! All at once and it sounds brick limited and normalized to shit.
And that’s a crying shame.

Totally agree, this kind of thing has prevented me from enjoying a lot from this style.
