Megadeth - The World Needs A Hero - 2001

The World Needs A Hero

After the horror known as Risk back in 1999, late in 2000 Dave Mustaine promised a return to the roots of Megadeth. While I can't agree that they fully delivered the goods (we're still a bit far from the roots, in my opinion), it is definitely a return to a heavier, faster sound than what Megadeth had served us on their previous two studio albums. I had to let this album grow on me a little before starting to appreciate it - I hated it at first. Then listening more closely I found that most tracks are actually pretty good - no real killer track, but this is arguably Megadeth's best release since Youthanasia. However this time Megadeth had the challenge of pleasing both the fans of their earlier sound and also the fans of their newer, softer sound - which I won't call evolution because I never thought nor believed that mellowing down was actually an evolution.
