''United Abominations'' is the eleventh studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth. Released on May 8, 2007, ''United Abominations'' is the first Megadeth release distributed through Roadrunner Records, and with the exception of the band's frontman Dave Mustaine, was recorded with an all-new line-up. While touring to promote the album, guitarist Glen Drover left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Chris Broderick, leaving this as the only Megadeth studio album to which he contributed. ''United Abominations'' was well received by critics and debuted at number eight on the ''Billboard'' 200, the highest chart position for the band since 1994's ''Youthanasia'' until it was succeeded by 2013's ''Super Collider''. Greg Prato of AllMusic stated Megadeth "sound reborn" on ''United Abominations''. The lyrics of the album deal with politics and the state the world is in, with Ed Thompson of IGN stating the album is the band's most politically charged. The album was named the number one metal album of 2007 by ''Guitar World''. ==Background== Prior to the release of ''United Abominations'', Megadeth signed a recording contract with Roadrunner Records. The band had troubles with music rights involving two former labels that carried Megadeth, Capitol and Sanctuary Records. This is the first Megadeth album since the 2004 album ''The System Has Failed'', which was released through Sanctuary. While on tour to support ''The System Has Failed'', Megadeth frontman, guitarist, and vocalist Dave Mustaine contemplated breaking up Megadeth to record as a solo artist. At a sold-out concert in Buenos Aires, Mustaine stated the band would stay together. The show in Buenos Aires, at which this information was announced, was recorded and released on CD and DVD as ''That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires''.〔 Megadeth had a new band lineup, aside from Mustaine, comprising Glen Drover (guitar), James LoMenzo (bass guitar), and Shawn Drover (drums). Mustaine chose these people for full-time members rather than session musicians. He stated that he liked the Drovers' "sibling chemistry" and that LoMenzo was a "legend".
