I liked it from 3:11 onward. Before that, the guitars just sounded way too weak.

Yeah the first part drags. There's some cool licks but the riffs kinda overstay their welcome. And the solos in the chorus are really.. I don't know, awkward? It's a cool idea, I guess, but I don't think they really pull it off. The solos aren't memorable enough to feel like they belong there.

Why they didn't base the entire song around that riff at 3:55 is a mystery to me. It is pure Megadeth gold. On the plus side, Dave's vocals sound pretty good on this one.
