Query: Tight And Tuneful

Dave Mustaine and his Megadeth cohorts definitely released this fine album of extremely well rounded metal a little too late('97). Too bad, because "Writings" contains probably their most mature and commercial work to date. Want proof that Mustaine can be adult and more than keep his integrity in the metal kingdom; then listen to the smokin' opening riffs of "Trust" and "Almost Honest," where Dave sounds like he's tired of society in general. "Secret Place"'s Alice In Chains-like intro gives way to thundering power chords and drummer Nick Menza's backbone. As always, the musicianship here is near perfect, complementing the tighter arrangements and more personalized lyrics than the band is usually known for. Just because you're getting older doesn't mean you have to be boring.
