This one is sandwiched between Megadeth 's two most acclaimed albums. It has a more punk edge, I would say, and it does has its charms.

Saw this on r/MetalMemes. A lot of prog vocalists do play instruments in their respective bands though, but not the case for our dear LaBrie. And I mean, when you got 4 of the very best at their instruments, who needs an extra one. Which ones come to mind here throughout their discography?

This should be interesting and might take a little bit of digging, but which album do you feel uses LaBrie the least, considering he doesn´t play any instruments (sans assisting keyboard live on the 2005 tour) to my knowledge? Obviously not counting When Dream and Day Unite.

Hadn´t seen this one before. At around 1:53:50, James plays chords on the keyboard while Jordan does his continuum solo in the Octavarium intro. However, on later performances, in every single video, Jordan does the intro all by himself, and James doesn´t come out on stage until his turn to sing.
