"Washington Is Next" came off United Abominations, the 2007 album that brought Megadeth to Roadrunner Records, and it's Dave Mustaine's show from end to end: he wrote the music and the words, sang lead, played electric and acoustic guitar and produced it, with Jeff Balding and Andy Sneap co-producing and Sneap mixing. The band around him was brand-new, and full-time for the first time since 2001: Glen Drover on guitar, Shawn Drover on drums, James LoMenzo on bass, all three singing backup, and Axel Mackenrott on keyboards.
The album aimed its lyrics at politics and the state of the world, and IGN's Ed Thompson called it the band's most politically charged record. Readers of Burrn! voted this one Best Tune in their 2007 poll. Glen Drover quit during the tour that followed, which makes this the only Megadeth studio album he played on.
