Friday, May 2: Megadeth, "High Speed Dirt"

R.I.P. Nick Menza (1964-2016)

Countdown to Extinction was the work a cohesive and confident band that had a very clear grasp on what they were trying to achieve, and Megadeth delivered on their objective of crafting a streamlined albeit extremely precise heavy metal record that built on the advancements of Rust in Peace while also largely moving away from thrash altogether.  So “High Speed Dirt” was both a logical continuation of what came before and also its own thing: Rust in Peace didn’t have any tunes about skydiving, but this had a similar ornery temperament and Dave Mustaine’s whine still sounded both annoyed and freaked out while he and Marty Friedman shredded mercilessly.  Nick Menza’s snare sounded overly dry and clinical, but one could still hear him going gonzo on his drums while both keeping pace with and prodding the guitarists on.  In some respects “High Speed Dirt” was a low stakes track for Megadeth, seemingly designed more to support the overarching narrative of Countdown to Extinction rather than exist on its own like “Symphony of Destruction”.  But by the same token it perfectly captured the idiosyncrasy and synchronicity of Megadeth’s best lineup.

Alexia-sama can’t communicate very well in words. Whenever she wanna say something, she does a guitar riff.

Friday, January 3: Yngwie Malmsteen, "Facing the Animal"

R.I.P. Colin "Cozy" Powell (1947-1998)

There was no logical explanation for Mercury Records re-signing Yngwie Malmsteen in the late ‘90s: a handful of folks were loudly insisting that metal was making a big comeback, but that was largely wishful thinking with nothing to back it up.  But Facing the Animal was indeed released by a major label in 1997, and if Yngwie was trying to meet the ‘90s by writing crunchier riffs and layering in some bluesier notes, he still shredded all over the place and wrote nonsense lyrics that Mats Levén howled with such melodramatic intensity that he fully crossed over to absurdity.  “Facing the Animal” benefited from a robust Chris Tsangerides production and full-bodied drumming from Cozy Powell in what would prove to be one of his last performances on record, though it would’ve been nice to hear him let loose a little more- of course Yngwie would never allow anyone to potentially overshadow him, but at least his toms hit harder than on Forbidden so this wasn’t the worst way for him to go out.  And though Yngwie naturally overplayed, there was something to be said for him staying true and ignoring if not outright defying prevailing trends.
