From the “For What It’s Worth” bin at the store, Metacritic’s users named Megadeth’s 2013 release Super Collider the Worst Album of the Year, coming in with a score of 38. (Metacritic is like Rotten Tomatoes for music, curating scores from “notable sources” across the web.) The Metacritic score is based on a scale of 0-100, with 0 being the worst and 100 the best. In other words, Megadeth failed miserably.
