Megadeth – The System Has Failed

I have a copy of this vinyl. Pictures on cover looks very good. Sounds great. Instruments and vocal sounds good. No clicks. ATN91R.

Can anyone tell me if this one sound better than the 2019 BMG copy?

Agree with whats said below. Theres ALOT of bottom end here but it doesnt have the muddiness of the original mix.
Theres a bit more room in between the instruments and a clarity not on OG mix.
Its sounds fantastic.. just listened to it twice.
Didnt find my copy to be dirty at all.. fairly quiet.
It was a long wait for this one, as I got it from over seas... but glad I got it.

had originally pre-ordered this from “the band” (aka LiveNation) as soon as it was announced (December 2018). That copy never arrived. Then I saw it here on Amazon for $16 less (yes, the LiveNation total came to $38) and asked for my missing order to be cancelled, which it was. I believe the pressing I received from Amazon to be identical. That being said, I am very happy with this reissue. First, the remastering itself sounds great. At least on the vinyl format: it is clear, not overly compressed, doesn’t clip, and no single element (such as bass) is too heavy. Secondly, the vinyl pressing is high quality. The record is thick and sturdy as would be expected at 180 gram. There is no tearing around the center label punch out hole, as I’ve seen in other cases. The cover are is a little blurry at 12” though. Overall it looks great, sounds great, and is in my opinion one of the best of the “newer revitalized” (aka post-Risk) Megadeth albums. The songs “Die Dead Enough”, “Kick the Chair”, “The Scorpion”, “Tears in a Vial”, and “Back in the Day” have always been my favorites on this album and are not to be missed on this reissue.

A really big letdown even back in 2004. Two good/average tracks: 'Blackmail the Universe' and 'Kick the Chair'. Rest is cheesey ('Back in the Day') or filler ('I Know Jack') imo.

I got this album when it first came out, while many of the tracks are who cares. But the first four tracks are some of the best Megadeth songs ever. Black Mail the Universe, Kick the Chari and The Scorpion are all thrash metal songs that could be on any of Megadeth's best records and would be considered classics. The lyrics on those songs are also still relevant to today's politics and drug war that is actually worse now than then. Seriously listen to those songs with an open mind and they will blow you away.

Nice sound .. But very dirty and with some light scratches, i don't like bmg.. Although the sound matters most. So 5/5

I Strange Ways originally being a bonus track to a version of this album (several years before Warchest), does anyone happen to know which one it was? I'm guessing a digital pre-order one since it doesn't appear to be on a physical CD.

Does anyone know where and when the live tracks were recorded?

You know, I like this album. But of all albums why the hell is this one repressed instead of countdown, youthanasia and cryptic. I mean yeah countdown was repressed but only through picture disc and numbered mobile fidelity that go for more than the original and the original sounds better!
