Now playing on iPod Mini - More Megadeth!!!

Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction
Yep, I am still kicking - been too swamped to put an update out here. I am now listening to Megadeth's "Countdown To Extinction" album (the original mix, not the remix that MegaDave released last year - I've heard that one, but only twice).

I remember when the original came out in 1992 - I kinda liked it, but it wasn't my favorite. At the time, it sounded a bit too "produced" for my tastes - it basically wasn't as heavy as I preferred at the time.

But now, I quite enjoy it - I haven not run across a song I don't care for on the album on this listen through. Have my tastes changed? Probably a bit, but I still dig the heavy stuff (but not the new stuff like Korn or Good Charlotte) - I'll still take 80's/early 90's thrash over some of today's music.

By the way, the intro to "Symphony of Destruction" is SWEET!!! Heavy guitar riffs are so cool.

Take another listen to this CD/album sometime - you won't be disappointed.
