Megadeth: TH1RT3EN

With the track listing now released, there are a few familiar songs in the bunch. Sudden Death was released as a single in 2011. Public Enemy No. 1 has been released as the first single from the album (available for streaming on Megadeth's website in September, 2011). Other tracks are also familiar to some fans. "Black Swan" was a b-side unreleased track from United Abominations. "New World Order" and "Millenium of the Blind" also having previously been b-side rare tracks from Youthanasia.

Millenium of the Blind received a huge facelift from its demo version. It's now a much more complete track. New World Order too, sounds more modern, yet retains its killer riff.

Another track you'll find particularly addictive is "Whose Life (Is it Anyways)", which could be their next radio hit. The album ends on a high note with the ballad "13," in which Mustaine seems to deliver a message about his career. "I can't get out, I can't jump out, too much to face: I can't erase."

1. Sudden Death : Previously released for Guitar Hero, with new effects added to the song. The first song recorded back with David Ellefson.

2. Public Enemy No. 1: The first official single from the album, as well as the first video. A great galloping guitar rhythm.

3. Whose Life (Is It Anyways?): The most catchy song on the album, and possibly its biggest contender as a radio hit.

4. We The People: Violate your right, no more equality! Surrender your freedom, your social security! ... In greed we trust... in revolution we die! With lyrics like these, you know this song is destined to be right up there with "Blackmail the Universe" and "Foreclosure of a Dream" in terms of lyrical content.

5. Guns, Drugs & Money: The fifth track gets better as the song goes along.

6. Never Dead: Beginning with a haunting drumbeat which is interrupted by a scratching guitar thrash, Never Dead is the heaviest song on the album.

7. New World Order: A leftover track from Youthanasia, rerecorded to its full potential here.

8. Fast Lane: Another song about driving fast, much in the vein of 1320 and 502.

9. Black Swan: Unreleased track from United Abominations, Black Swan has been improved with a guitar solo right from the beginning.

10. Wrecker: A song about a girl that will wreck everything in your life, a homewrecker.

11. Millennium Of The Blind: A beautiful metal ballad leftover from the Youthanasia sessions. Rerecorded and reworked for this album, it has been much improved. New lyrics, a new chorus, and new life have been breathed into this amazing song.

12. Deadly Nightshade: The return of David Ellefson's distinctive bass sound can be clearly heard here.

13. 13: Perhaps the best song on the album, "13" delves into Mustaine's personal relationship with the number "13." This song sounds like it could have fit right in on "Cryptic Writings," with a very catchy chorus and acoustic break. Let's hope this song isn't the last recorded song we hear from Mustaine and company.
