United Abominations, Megadeth's 11th studio album, hit the racks on May 15, 2007, the band's first release through Roadrunner. Dave Mustaine produced it with a lineup that was brand new apart from himself: Glen Drover on guitar, Shawn Drover on drums and James LoMenzo on bass. After The System Has Failed, cut with session players, this is a real band again, and it plays like one, all whiplash riffs, twin-guitar shrapnel and Mustaine's sneer aimed squarely at the evening news. The lyrics go after politics and the sorry shape the world is in, and a title like "Washington Is Next!" doesn't leave much to the imagination.
It entered the Billboard 200 at number eight, the band's best showing since Youthanasia, and Guitar World named it the top metal album of 2007. Glen Drover walked away during the tour that followed and Chris Broderick took his place, which makes this the only Megadeth studio record with Drover on it.
