On November 1, 2011, Megadeth released their thirteenth studio album, which was appropriately called Thirteen. It came out through Roadrunner Records worldwide, minus Japan. Japan got it on October 26, for some reason unknown to me. The album debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200, and sold 42,000 copies in its first week alone. The singles from this album are actually the first three tracks on the album. Starting with, "Sudden Death", which like others works Megadeth has released over the years, paints quite the picture. This one makes you stop and picture what may quite possibly be the devil, or some sort of dark king. Plus, it starts off with one hell of a guitar solo -if that's not a way to start an album, what is? So that one definitely stands out, for obvious reasons. Clearly they realized that, since it is the lead single off the album. Is it me or should someone seriously write a fiction series based entirely off of Megadeth lyrics? Almost every track tells a story all on its own, but it definitely makes the imagination run wild just a bit. The reason that's being said in particular is because of "Never Dead." It seems to tell the story of a murderer going to hell and suffering forever? Its rather interesting...all of their lyrics are. Yet another great album from Megadeth -is anyone really surprised? I thought not. Be sure to check out their brand new album, Dystopia, which just came out on January 22 of this year. Also while you're at it, head on over to Megadeth's website see all currently have going on.
