    From a REAL Megadeth fan

    By gsswv  Apr 26, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this System Has Failed review helpful

    Pros: True Mega-Metal

    Cons: Dave Ellefson not there

    I can't believe there is a user review on here from someone who calls themself a Megadeth fan who proceeds to slag this album and offers to sell it to you cheap. That is obviously a bogus review, because SYSTEM HAS FAILED is one of the best Megad...eth albums EVER!! I am a true Megadeth fan who has been along for the ride since KILLING IS MY BUSINESS, and SYSTEM is not going to disappoint many long-time fans. Too bad Dave Ellefson is gone, but this album proves Dave Mustaine really IS Megadeth. After I heard the album I almost forgot Dave isn't on it. Killer riffs, plenty of speed, also melodic diversity, heavy, good production. 92 out of 100. Read more Less

    MEGADETH'S BACK!!!

    By Brian  Feb 9, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this System Has Failed review helpful

    Pros: Solos

    Cons: none

    Don't listen to this other f*gg0t. This is the best album since Rust In Peace. Chris Poland's back, but Ellefson's gone. It's a combination of RIP and Youthanasia I'd say. It has some fast sh*t, like "Kick The Chair", an...d some melodic stuff like "Tears In a Vial". And Dave and Chris deliver once again on the solos. Buy this if your a Megadeth fan. Nothing like the previous three. I like it better than that overrated Countdown to Extinction too. You won't be dissapointed. Read more Less

    all systems go

    By sean  Jan 12, 2009

    Pros: political and to the point

    Cons: a few ok tracks

    to sum this album up i would say really good but not great. Songs that get you thinking are kick the chair and back in the day. Back in the day is what it was like for metal in the early stages. i grew up in the early 80's so i know where Dave wa...s going with this track.Super smashing. Also look really close at the album cover,this picture is worth one word ; sad. they put the right cover on the album to sum up the reality and truth to what most of us are really thinking about elected officials.

    AMAZING

    By Alex  Aug 18, 2008

    Pros: Basically everything

    Cons: none

    This is possibly my favorite MegaDeth album out (except maybe for the Greatest Hits) Its great to see classic MegaDeth style in songs like "Kick The Chair", while seeing more melodic songs such as "Die Dead Enough" (Which is prob...ably my favorite song here) combined into one amazing album. So what are you waiting for? Go buy it! Read more Less

    Second Best Megadeth Ever

    By Michael  Jul 30, 2006

    Pros: Awesome riff's and solos, and mustaine has become a better singer

    Cons: none

    This is possibly the second best megadeth album ever (Peace Sells... but who's buying is first). The songs are very catchy and the riffs are awesome and memorable. Also, Dave Mustaine has become a better singer instead of just growling out everyt...hing else. If you are a Megadeth Fan you must buy this album right now! Read more Less

    Dave delivers again

    By Michael  Mar 7, 2006

    Pros: *

    Cons: *

    I remember reading somewhere before this was released that Dave began writing these songs with the idea of using them on a solo album but they sounded so much like Megadeth that he went ahead and released it under that name. After the disappointing R...isk album, I thought maybe Dave had lost his edge. I was wrong. The System Has Failed is quite possibly the band's best album since Countdown To Extinction. The return of guitarist Chris Poland may have something to do with that. He and Mustaine trade impressive leads all through this disc. Drummer Vinnie Colaiuta is also a pleasant surprise with some nice double bass work. Die Dead Enough sounds like it was geared toward radio but the rest of the album really kicks. Check out Kick The Chair, The Scorpion, and Back In The Day to see what I mean. Reports of Megadeth's demise are definitely premature! Read more Less

    Its about time

    By Scratch n Sniff  Feb 23, 2005

    Pros: Kick ass riffs, good lyrics, better than the past 3 offerings.

    Cons: Not enough of those old Megadeth riffs that we love.

    I went out and bought this album the weekend it came out, and I was pretty impressed by the way it hit me. I was just praying that it would live up to the hype that it has been getting in the past couple of weeks. Well I must say, Dave has not lost i...t. Blackmail the Universe just kicks, Die Dead Enough is a good radio song, Kick the Chair brought me back to Rust In Peace....the album is just a good mixture of old and new....but not a sucky new, ITS A GOOD NEW! So if your a Megafan, go get this CD and stop reading these reviews. Read more Less

    Very weak

    By Greg  Sep 22, 2004 | 2 out of 5 found this System Has Failed review helpful

    Pros: didnt cost more

    Cons: it sucked for what I paid

    Save your money! I've always loved their music over the years but this is bad. If you really want to buy it, e-mail me. I have one like new I'll sell cheap. I was glad to hear that Megadeth was back but when I heard this CD makes me wonder if... they made the right choice. Definitly nothing like their old stuff Read more Less
