Beskrivning
A lot hasbeen said about ‘Cryptic Writings’, both positive and negative, buta fact is, that its a really solid album but you cant label itthrash metal. On ‘Cryptic Writings’, Megadeth, and singer/guitaristDave Mustaine in particular, tried to get back a large share ofMetal in the music again, which makes ‘Cryptic Writings’ an albumthat has that special balance again. The album has a really, reallystrong opener. ‘Trust’ is a very good song, probably even one ofthe best songs that Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman have everwritten together. The lyrics are quite sensitive and the musicbuilds up very nicely. The Disintegrators and FFF are both prettyfast offerings, and She-Wolf waters down the intro to Metallica’sthrash Disposable Heroes and puts down a very catchy heavy metalsong. ‘Use The Man’, is one of Megadeth’s best ever songs. Thesampling of the Searchers’ 60s hit Needles And Pins works wellgiving the subject of Dave’s heroin-warning tune. The acousticverses and Dave Mustaine’s typical dangerous low voice create aperfect atmosphere and a nice step towards the great chorus of thesong. A nice surprise is the heavy guitar riff underneath MartyFriedman’s great solo, which is based on the same key as theverses, just played more metal. This is another album that gets abad rap in the metal scene because for the most part is sodifferent from anything else the band has done in the past. It’shard to deny that Cryptic Writings is definitely different fromMegadeth’s previous albums, it’s still packed full of some nicesongs.
