    I have to say this album was a massive disappointment for me after the magnificent Endgame. The album just doesn't seem to get going at all and nothing stands out. Mediocre riffs and solos and the less said about Burn! the better, a truly awful song. It comes to something when one of the better tracks on the album is the cover of Thin Lizzy's Cold Sweat.

    This record makes Risk look like Rust in Peace. This should be destroyed and forgotten. This is like if Aerosmith was nuked, and they all died, and they tried to make a record after, but they were dead so it was complete The title track convinced me to slice my hand off with a machete, but I don't have a machete.

    Oh, my goodness. I tried listening to this album and convincing myself to it, but it's nearly impossible. The album is supported with three actually good songs, while the rest of them is either boring or terrible pop-rock that the band again experimented with. That's really sad, because two of my favourite songs on the album ("Dance in the Rain" and "Kingmaker") were sandwiched in theOh, my goodness.

    Truthfully, Super Collider is just a Megadeth album born of complacency and issued with only the faintest interest in remaining relevant.

    It ditches classic thrash for bland classic rock. [Aug 2013, p.96]

    It's the culmination of four years during which Megadeth have continuously raised their game. [Jul 2013, p.92]
