It was the band&#8217;s second and final studio album distributed by Sanctuary Records. <strong>The System Has Failed<\/strong> was the first album to be released after Mustaine recovered from his arm injury sustained in 2002 which prevented him from playing guitar. It is also the first of three Megadeth records not to include original bassist and co-founder David Ellefson. Instead, the album features session players, including former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland on lead guitar. However, Poland only provided lead guitar parts and solos on a contractual basis and did not rejoin the band. To date, it is the only Megadeth album where the only certified member of the band was the sole Mustaine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The System Has Failed<\/strong> received positive reception from critics and managed to debut at number 18 on the Billboard 200. The album was generally thought of as being a return to form for the band, after the release of more commercially accessible albums through the 1990s. &#8220;Die Dead Enough&#8221; and &#8220;Of Mice and Men&#8221; were released as singles in 2004, and &#8220;The Scorpion&#8221; was released as a single in 2005. The track &#8220;Back in the Day&#8221; was featured in the Duck Dodgers episode &#8220;In Space, No One Can Hear You Rock&#8221; in 2005, which featured an animated version of the band performing the song.<\/p>\n<p>The cover art was designed by Mike Learn, and features Vic Rattlehead at a podium in front of the United States Supreme Court building selling a not-guilty verdict to then U.S. President George W. Bush. Saluting is Hillary Clinton, next to former President Bill Clinton. Behind President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney holds a briefcase labeled &#8220;plan B&#8221;. Behind Cheney are several other Bush Administration officials: Then National Security Advisor (and later Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Attorney General John Ashcroft. The  bills on the cover depict Vic Rattlehead&#8217;s face rather than the one of Benjamin Franklin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The System Has Failed is the tenth studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth, released on September 14, 2004.
