Megadeth - The World Needs a Hero album cover | |||||||||||||||
The World Needs a Hero is an album by Megadeth, released in 2001. It was marked as a welcome return to Megadeth's more heavy metal roots, after the commercial rock style of their previous releases, Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings and especially Risk. However, it still retained a bit of the commercial feel from previous albums, as Mustaine claims the album was like "a ship lost at sea trying to return to its course".
"Return to Hangar" is a sequel to the song "Hangar 18", which was found on the Rust In Peace album. Mustaine also dedicated the song "When" to all the nay-sayers on Megadeth's internet message board who spoke ill of him and the band after their recent attempts at commercial success (or, a "big fuck you to all the wishy-washy fans out there".) The song's intro riff is the same as a riff found in Metallica's The Call of Ktulu, which Mustaine co-wrote during his days as Metallica's lead guitarist. The main riff of "When" is reminiscent of "Am I Evil?" by Diamond Head, which Mustaine has said was intentional, as an homage to Diamond Head and the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement. ("Am I Evil?" was also, ironically, covered by Metallica to a degree of success). Track listing: 1. "Disconnect" – 5:20 2. "The World Needs a Hero" – 3:52 3. "Moto Psycho" – 3:06 4. "1000 Times Goodbye" – 6:12 5. "Burning Bridges" – 5:20 6. "Promises" – 4:28 7. "Recipe for Hate... Warhorse" – 5:18 8. "Losing My Senses" – 4:40 9.
