 Other reviewers generally took a more dismissive view of the album , and many of them gave the album a rating of around 5 / 10 or lower . Greg Pratt of Exclaim ! described much of the material on the album as being an attempt on Mustaine 's part to both maintain credibility with his fanbase and score a radio hit at the same time , a result that Pratt concluded was impossible . Pratt took a negative view of several songs on the album , describing " Off the Edge " as " unlovable " , " The Blackest Crow " as " an unfocused mess " , and the title track as having a radio @-@ oriented sound , much to his dislike . However , he did describe " Kingmaker " as " relentless " , and commented that it sounded similar to material from Countdown to Extinction ( 1992 ) .
