Megadeth- Almost Honest (remastered)

I lied just a little
When I said I need you
You stretched the truth
When you said that you knew
Just can't believe it
There's nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost
Living alone, can't stand this place
It's four in the morning and I still see your face
I was nearly pure
When I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere
You said I'd bleed for you
We were kind of candid
Now you're gone away
You were almost honest, almost
Living alone, falling from grace
I want to alone but there's just empty space
I can't face tomorrow, now you're not coming back
Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks
I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up but I don't have a choice
It happened that night when you told me to go
Don't ask who's to blame, I don't know
Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest

[@kilroy5128]

metalica kicking him out of the band was the best thing they ever did for daves career

[@stevenm.reiser3032]

Omg so right

[@cryingfools]

@AgentOfOblivion No

[@cryingfools]

@@jamesjoyce2848 Well they can have all the succes they want, but Megadeth keeps being better than Metallica, is like saying that Justin Bieber is extremly talented just because he is very famous

[@axxion231]

Skull Walker39 you dumb as rocks if you think metallica is more talented than megadeth. Dave alone has more talent than everyone in metallica. James used daves music and not vice versa. Go to a metallica show and ull find a bunch of posers

[@axxion231]

Skull Walker39 and yes metallica is more popular because of fame, thats why all their albums including st anger get platinum, they can release a turd and itll go platinum, and if you think hardwired is better than dystopia you are just fooling yourself. 8 years for a song like hardwired is embarrassing its so basic

[@DeformedConscience]

Man, this song has really grown on me over the years. One of those infectious trademark Mustaine hooks. Underrated tune. Glad I revisited this album

[@patrickshannon1547]

I do think Megadeth was starting to push on some pop boundaries here compared to earlier albums. Yet I was in acceptance with it cause it's still a great album.

[@staciecarlson191]

Walked off in the night...

[@genustinca5565]

yes, but still a damn tasty riff though

[@jimmybob2485]

What are you on about pop have you ever listened to rock the thing metal is based on

[@ShogunRua85]

Pop...the hell this man talking bout

[@SpaceTruckin420]

R.I.P. Nick Menza

[@mandyandblackygaming2291]

El Muerto lol

[@donalddodds9471]

While I am glad Dave has finally burred the hatchet with Metallica, I never understood why he felt he had to top Metallica for years..In the eyes and ears of Megadeth fans worldwide he already accomplished it big time.

[@Amy-fn9oz]

So agree! I say this all the time...

[@louisianaball]

Wanted to stick it to James and Lars. I’m glad it’s buried too cause I love both bands

[@scottg2045]

It was a pride thing.... I'll show you

[@chrishargreaves8016]

If you were kicked out of a band that you helped to establish, who then subsequently used your material that pushed them become one of the biggest bands on the planet, wouldn't you be a little sore too?

[@FrederickPine73]

But look at what that competition brought all of us.

[@Eternal2Cain2Esth]

Thank you Megadeth for have the perfect songs for this moments of my life... Thank you, Dave

[@sweetmelody4610]

it's four in the morning, & i still see your face.

[@lucasferrante9001]

Lin Yao good

[@DetectiveConack]

I had too much to drink

[@staciecarlson191]

Immortal words...

[@ambassadoryee3756]

haven't heard this song in a few years but woke up with it stuck in my head

[@medievalviking8633]

Fuck yeah, good times Megadeth, motorbikes and girls!

[@mandyandblackygaming2291]

Sticks with me too Bret !

[@sullyhet]

Shit....same thing happened to me this morning lol

[@Maovwar]

The Lyrics are I want to Atone,but there's just empty space Not I want to Alone, You can clearly hear him say Atone in the backing vocals.

[@Vidrill]

Perfectly describes the cynicism in love. Makes me feel so bitter.

[@metalguy1016]

I think a bullfrog got lose in the studio at the beginning.

[@KFro9k]

[@diegopomatta7412]

Who in his right mind would dislike this?

[@DanicolasolGamingTVuruguay]

a prick

[@hikkenwayans]

Well, those who are listening to gangnam style and other shit.

[@hangar183]

Or those who curse Mustaine because of remastering this masterpiece. I suggest you to listen the original one.

[@Rhino1277HotRails]

no shit. I think it rocks top to bottom

[@Rhino1277HotRails]

I think its one of their best efforts

[@blastardinc]

Nice clean guitars and great rhythm.

[@Rickman357]

Im 40 yrs young,,,, Glad I saw them in Houston and El Paso TEXAS with the Misfits,,, I just wish the the fruitful radio stations would play this at least once a day!!! 🤘

[@paulbeck3962]

This song sums up my last relationship thanks mega deth for helping me through

[@alanhernandez1376]

I get kind of a 'RUSH' feeling towards the bridge with the Chorus effect on the guitar...

[@thrasher1730]

Yea same. Limelight

[@calhurleyreb30]

Cryptic writtings is the best fucking album Megadeth has made and will ever make I freaking love this shit

[@johngeiger3770]

The most honest "love" song I've ever heard.

[@951pete]

MARTY FRIEDMAN !!!....this was the best MEGADETH lineup ever !

[@scottg2045]

Love the bass in this

[@goyml]

This song was used by the TV program "Tamori club" of Japan. "YOU WERE SEMI SINCERE YOU SAID I'D BLEED FOR YOU" This was used at the corner of sounding like Japanese.

[@brianosbment2343]

This is a very cool song! Interesting riffs and rhythms.

[@saxongamer2323]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[@erikgaither4342]

favorite song off this album

[@axebox]

Great choice

[@matthiasnabahe505]

Trust

[@uszatoichi]

I'm partial to this song. "Living alone, falling from grace" and "almost honest" are what I have lived now for some years. My sadness has a name. She's called Jennifer Anne Julia Herbert. God I miss her.

[@Rhino1277HotRails]

hey, this song, this record, opens up scars for me too. but Ill never stop listening to it

[@seconds-kr5uj]

Sorry Bud

[@Bublerkin]

3:43 (the "honEST" part) listen carefully. Sounds like a mixing bug. Non-remastered version doesn't have one.

[@adamadair9174]

this album is in my top ten of all time...

[@DFPFTW]

Jesus I’m 30 now but in middle school kids wore attire from this band. Shit did I wish I started listening earlier!!! I’m obsessed

[@jebbroham1776]

I feel you there, I graduated in 2009 and I saw some as well, as well Pantera and Guns n Roses. I myself wore a Confederate Battle flag on the back of my jean jacket to high school over a Led Zepplin T shirt. It was such a different world then.

[@luish.alcantaraaguilar6158]

One of my favorite songs in this album!!!! \m/

[@wizaex93]

i love megadeth since i listened the first riff, tornado of souls i remember. i feel si fuckin' good being too young and listening to megadeth with the heart it's something awsome! best wishes

[@davidbaldridge8680]

Megadeth,s New album rocks the nation the very best album from Dave mustaine and rest of Megadeth and all of Megadeth albums are worth listening to

[@TheLunisbadman]

My friends would play Megadeth all the time and I liked it. This was the song that made me love it.

[@williambradbury7492]

Dave. Thanks for the awesome music. You are very good at what you do

[@DarkoTuka]

Yes - Owner of a lonely heart?

[@talaliqbal8367]

Exactly

[@marazeman8563]

Oh yeah, I definitely hear that shit, lol!😜😜😜

[@siddharths840]

power of love

[@loganlewis2523]

The main riff is amazing the main riff in “angry again” is amazing. I bet Dave made this riff and he realized is was so good and similar to the “angry again” riff he said David holy SHIT *shits in David Ellefson’s cereal as he says “David HOLY SHIT”* this riff makes we want to kill my neighbors god damn cat just for looking at me weird

[@Dubile]

...

[@QwertyNPC]

The cat has good instincts.

[@garypatch7478]

fantastic riff..love this tune

[@ГеймерСони-м7у]

Удачная обработка песни ) Снова от души послушал как и в 2016 году )

[@dcqec111]

Heard this song after 10 years today. Now I understand why I used to like it so much back then.

[@tevetorbes456]

Dave is a smart guy. He’s come full circle in life and continues to write great songs in the metal realm. Much respect !

[@Imenebibi]

it's 4 in the morning and I still see your face .......

[@allrock100]

Great song, awesome riffs! \m/ Megadeth \m/

[@I.S9820]

Bring me back memories this master piece

[@lizzysimner7715]

Certainly a masterpiece

[@PsyChoCrazyBOi]

saw them live last sunday, they played this, I can die a happy man now =)

[@MegaGator39]

Saw them last night. They are amazing

[@viniciusvalois2634]

A remixed version of it is used for MAP03 from a DOOM mod named "Congestion 1024".

[@patriciotroncoso4764]

FOREVER FAN FROM MEGADETH.....❤❤❤❤❤❤AND DAVE MUSTAINE🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@Punk93Metal]

A little poppy but that doesn't mean it's bad! On the contrary, it's an outstanding song!

[@AriochStarr]

Personally, it's my number one favourite Megadeth song. I think it might be his backing vocals during the chorus.

[@Rhino1277HotRails]

I agree; rather than "poppy" ... I choose to say "more melodic" .....many 'Deth fans canned this record ...but.... I personally love it. sue me

[@Rhino1277HotRails]

AriochStarr its a bad ass jam

[@Punk93Metal]

Christopher Reinheimer Yeah. Melodic is a better word. Cheers!

[@Rhino1277HotRails]

Punk93Metal right on my friend. gonna jam this for you now...see you around ....

[@seconds-kr5uj]

Can this guy write a bridge oe what?!?!

[@ethrstub]

this song gave me my new favorite word... semi-sencere... now thats just genius

[@staciecarlson191]

I loved that part!

[@davesotl3988]

It’s I want to atone but there’s just empty space.

[@buddha6955]

Megadeth is amazing. They have "blood of heroes". right now...I don't know what's coming, but right now---until they sell out.

[@leandrocastr8]

Ouço essa música há anos e não enjoou nunca!

[@Tony-th6mf]

This song has a great hook

[@samsmith6892]

I am so fuckin glad he left metallica , and made music metallica can only dream of making

[@bigkuuse9212]

Sam Smith Fucking Ayy

[@Tricker-the-licker]

Sam Smith fucking Ayy to that.

[@Tricker-the-licker]

James Joyce 39 fucking fuck shitty metallica

[@Tricker-the-licker]

James Joyce 39 that song is utter shit, it's slow and sounds poppy.

[@Tricker-the-licker]

James Joyce 39 haha you wish that was ture, the rust in peace record alone. Kicks metallicas ass at every song they ever did

[@philipenright1258]

Thanks!Love,Philip.

[@louisianaball]

They need to play this and Crush Em live again

[@timmcgravey9778]

hey Timbo slice nice song! my favorite

[@ckelley63]

This is one of Megedeaths best efforts.

[@Zaory6734]

I listen to the band but I didn't know about this song. I often hear the riff on a TV program and think how megadeth-like it sounds. I just found out that it's actually a Megadeth song.

[@CoolestDude38NC]

I remember when Megadeth came out with this CD in 1997. I was twenty eight. IMO, it was Megadeth's last "heavy" CD.

[@Wikdone]

Yet anotherr great album from the great Megadeth. Gives me Headbangers Ball flashbacks.

[@lancestarr9467]

I usually like the older stuff, but this song is really enjoyable, might blast this at the lake 😎🍻

[@chiggennucket1884]

Listening to this at 4 in the morning!!

[@RoueArzhur]

There's a mistake in the lyrics transcription; chorus 2nd verse: there goes: "I want to atone" not "alone"!!!

[@staciecarlson191]

You're right!

[@liquididentity101]

There are a lot of little changes between this remastered version and the original studio recording. Aside from the complete vocal re-recording, which Dave does a good job on. I still prefer the original.

[@KHK2199]

[@kimsullivan5576]

I just love those lyrics! 🤘

[@carinacr82]

AMO ESTE DISCO!!

[@christopherbrown6049]

I don't speak Russian bro

[@alfredojesusgutierrez5780]

Dos canciones buenas tiene...a partir de este disco megadeth habia dejado de ser lo que era..

[@vegasandrew589]

2024 and this song is still awesome!!!

[@juanarkantos]

@PhantomOfCaldia i read them all... i was just telling you that i don't care how pacific or violent countries are. This is a megadeth video

[@tomdickharryjane]

"I want to alone but there's just empty space" Correction: I want to atone...

[@sparra1100]

luv this tune probs one of me favs,used to put it on when the neighbours put dance music on and they,d soon turn it off or down the guitar solo is deep,bassy /heavy luv it

[@robwheatley4772]

Why does this always come back on rotation when I fuck up a relationship??! 🤔 Ooh yeh.... That's why.... Angry again!

2:27 reminds me of hold on loosely, awesome song btw

[@cfx5000]

They forgot the phaser synth on this release. What made this song cool.

[@VegaMyster]

@10qaws Remaster means they add or clean up the original recordings (better or worse) For Megadeths albums like Rust in peace, Dave couldn't find the original vocals for "Take No Prisoner"s, "Five Magics" and "lucretia" so he Re-recorded them on the 2004 remaster (Original Vocals were much better) For albums like Killing is my Buisness it really did improve it with the exeption of"My Boots" and that was because of all the bleeps in it, the original artist thought the song was violent and gross.

[@TheMark07]

How could anybody dislike this? They were Almost Honest when they hit the dislike button. Those 9 people are probably listening to this jam right now. Excellent song. Relevant to any generation. Very catchy too. Fuck yeah Megadeth.

[@mercedesprincefan86]

Kick-ass song!💯👏🏾🤗❤❤❤❤

[@MrRoboto81]

@laurensernets I have the original album, but the cd is really old and all scratched. I was hoping to find it here, but all I can find is the remastered and/or live versions. The song is awesome, don't get me wrong...I just don't like the remaster.

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

Excellent song. this album was highly overlooked and under-rated just like Megadeth in general..........

[@tamagordon158]

Thus single life, 😊 honest with yourself❤

[@Enrique-ez7je]

Mortal Kombat Annihilation brought me here

[@evolnieveilebi]

From where does this remaster originate? Dare I ask, could this be someone's home-made version? It seems a bit wet.

[@jeremiahgrizzelle1042]

I was withdrawing consciously trying to kick and my stomach gurgled and made the sound in the beginning... after all I was always almost honest.

[@iheilner]

I want to ATONE but there's just empty space

[@adamngangan7416]

hidden gem of a track. I wished they would have performed this song live; back then when they were at their peak.

[@bigbeav543]

Check out Rude Awakening

[@sofagirrl]

Keep calm and listen to this song!

[@TheIcon04]

feels like this song was ahead of its time. also really liked the version of this song done for the mortal kombat 2 movie, a danny saber remix. surprisingly good

[@FFVII95]

so weird to hear this version after all these years

[@peyotepete4903]

Walked off in the dark and left the tracks

[@Rhino1277HotRails]

thanx again bro

[@SymphonyOfDestruct99]

is this remastered version?? because the bass sound louder.

[@ExtremeMods666]

Happy Anniversary Cryptic Writings 23 Years!

[@goyml]

もう狭い　狭すぎる　3人もいる♪

[@dowling1981]

nep, when did you write this anthem?

[@art11art12]

@calhurleyreb30 and the Cryptic Writings album was overlooked while Metallica was going all country on us Megadeth came along and reminded us why heavy metal rocks. Too bad everyone paid more attention to a substandard album called Load.

[@punisher261]

ooommmggg OMG!! Nice job!! bass sounds very coool!!

[@DavidLee-wj9sp]
