2.0 out of 5 stars De ja vu!, September 14, 2002

This review is from: Still Alive... and Well? (Audio CD)

First off i'll start with the albums praise. The two new songs "Time/Use the Man" and "The Conjuring" are stellar live tracks, especially the latter. But other than those two the rest of the cd sounds vaguely familiar. Well that must be because the other live songs are on "Rude Awakening" and half the cd is off of "The World Needs a Hero." If i hadn't heard all this before it would have made a great album. My guess is that this cd was mandatory to fufill Megadeth's contract with Sanctuary. So if your looking to start your DethCollection, start at the first and work your way down the list.

2.0 out of 5 stars What the Heck?, September 20, 2002

This review is from: Still Alive... and Well? (Audio CD)

Stupid Me, I picked up this CD without reading the track listing before buying. I thought it was just made up of unreleased live tracks. I eventually found out while reading the track listing in my car that half of it is unreleased live tracks, while the rest is old material previously released on The World Needs A Hero album. So Why Bother? Why didn't they release the rare and hard to find tracks like DUKE NUKEM, CROWN OF WORMS, ONE THING, COMING HOME, NEW WORLD ORDER, SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION (THE GRISTLE MIX), and TRUST (ECW INSTRUMENTAL REMIX) along with the live tracks. Those tracks are harder than heck to come by, so they should've released them instead! AGHHHHHH Only buy if your a completist. Hopefully Megadeth will release another album sometime in the future with all of their rare tracks much in the vein of Hidden Treasures. We can only hope.

Well, if you haven't figured it out by now, this isn't exactly a "new" Megadeth album. What it's supposed to be is unreleased tracks (throwaways?) from "Rude Awakening" and some tracks from "The World Needs a Hero".

The best of the live tracks is easily "Time/Use the Man", whose inclusion almost justifies buying this. Yes, I am a big Megadeth fan, have been for years. But, I bought this CD not knowing what songs were on it ... and was more than a little disapointed when I found out that half of the album are tracks from "The World Needs a Hero" which I had purchased days before.

That said, this is for die-hard fans only, and that's just for the unreleased tracks from "Rude Awakening". Save your money and buy "The World Needs a Hero", it's much better than this.
