Megadeth is my favorite band of all time...I love everything this band has produced, every studio album. As a brazilian I didnt have many opportunities to see them live, last time was in 2016 with Kiko Loureiro, what a concert...Here comes my ranking, a little bit different than yours, especially when it comes to the first era and the most recent with Kiko. 1. Rust In Peace (this and Ziggy Stardust from Bowie are my all time favorite albums) 2. Peace Sells 3. Countdown to Extinction 4. Youthanasia 5. Dystopia 6. Endgame 7. United Abominations 8. So Far, So Good...So What 9. Cryptic Writings (I know it deserves a better position, I really like it, but I think it is not as heavy as I wanted) 10. Killing Is My Business (as you said, killer album, but the original production is not good for me, the most recent remaster is awesome tho) 11. The System Has Failed 12. Thirteen 13. Super Collider 14. Risk (It is not heavy, and it sounds weird a little bit, but some songs I really love, like Wanderlust, Prince of Darkness and Doctor Calling) 15. The World Needs a Hero (long time no listen to any of the tracks)

So Far, So Good… So What! (1988) 6. Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good! (1985) These next bunch are also solid albums, and I enjoy them all to varying degrees: 7. The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! (2022) - in my opinion, a massive return to form after a string of good, but very similar sounding albums released since Risk. 8. Cryptic Writings (1997) 9. The System Has Failed (2004) 10. Endgame (2009) 11. United Abominations (2007) 12. Dystopia (2016) 13. Thirteen (2011) 14. The World Needs A Hero (2001) 15. Super Collider (2013) This last one I can barely stand listening to. It took everything that was great about the more commercial sounding Cryptic Writings and threw it out the window. 16. Risk (1999)

I'd like to see a segment on the awesome VOIVOD. It's your vids, so you can do whatever bands you want...but I can't resist recommending a cew bands - you may have done some already...you may or may not dig sone of these: Celtic Frost, Coroner, Onslaught (UK), Faith No More, and dunno if you've done Sepultura... Whatever you do rate, I'll be watching. You've clued me in to bands I'd not heard of... I wonder what you think of the 70s band Dust...obscure to a lotta people, but I bet you've heard them.

Very good comment on these albums. My ranking: 1. Rust in Peace - My favorite album, just amazing from the start to finish. 2. PSBWB - Very brutal and angry stuff. 3. Dystopia - I am probably a small minority but I enjoy it very much. The lyrics are well written especially. 4. KIMB - Probably the angriest album I've ever heard. Mustaine had just been kicked out from Metallica. 5. Countdown to Extinction - The first album I ever heard from them. I loved it instantly! 6. SFSGSW - It is not as polished as their two strongest albums but it works well. 7. Endgame - It is one of their heaviest albums and many songs are among their best songs of the 2000's. 8. United Abominations - "Sleepwalker" hit me so hard, I knew I am gonna love it from the first time. 9. The System Has Failed - Their comeback to heavy stuff. I remember buying it the week it was released. 10. Youthanasia - Many killer songs, a couple of those I don't enjoy much - "Black Curtains" sound disappointing. "Reckoning Day" is just a killer opener! 11. Cryptic Writings - A poppy album but I like the melodies. Actually the mellow songs are better on this album than the heavy ones. 12. Risk - Not a bad album. It doesn't sound Megadeth for most fans but there are many good songs. "Prince of Darkness", "Insomnia", "Breadline", "I'll Be There", even "Ecstasy" and "Crush 'Em". 13. Super Collider . I hate it when I first heard it. It sounds now better than then. many good songs. The vocals are perhaps the least good from Mustaine ever. 14. The World Needs a Hero - Many good songs but "Burning Bridges" and "Losing My Senses" are terrible. "Moto Psycho", "Promises", and "Disconnect" are still very good songs. 15. Thirteen - It has few very good songs (Sudden Death is the best) but some of the songs sound recycled ideas. The title song has depth in lyrics but musically it is mediocre.

BTW, Dave said in his autobio that the album title "Risk" came from a statement from Lars Ulrich that Dave should take a risk.
@KevinOrtega19804 жыл бұрын
jim g I do remember that as well, because Lars stated Dave felt comfortable in what he was doing at the time and that he should take a Risk, glad they never stuck with that shit
@salvadorjimenez28724 жыл бұрын
Letting Lars Ulrich take up space in his head for so long was a probably one of the most foolish things (from a career standpoint) Dave did. Ulrich was clearly a Machiavellian little tool from the word go. Living well, & doing well is the best revenge. Especially when the guys you thought were your friends, stab you in the back, & have written you off as fuck-up & a no-talent.

@@Omar_E11 Uh, no Omar. He didn't. Not personally. It's just that I'm not a big fan of people who tend to be 2 faced. Don't know if you ever read any part of Dave Mustaine's memoir. (It's a great read btw. Whether or not you're a fan, I recommend it highly). I do know from it, & other interviews in other publications, that for a good many years Lars dissed Dave's playing for a long time After he formed Megadeth. But in the late 90s it was, "I really respect Dave as a musician but...". Bear in mind this was around the time they'd already come out with Load. The first Metallica album I tried to like, & couldn't. Even though I'd been a fan of theirs since almost the beginning. & let's face it, the Napster incident of the last decade didn't exactly help.

I'm almost agree with you, i could make just a couple of changes, like TWNAH to the 15th position, i hate so much the album and also switch the position of 13 with UA, bug it's only a matter of taste like the 1st and 2nd position. Great work man, Horns Up for you 🤘🏻 And all the best for you during this pandemic time! Resist!

Ok, so I guess I'm part of the small minority that actually likes the Risk album. Is it classic thrash Megadeth? No, but that doesn't make it a bad metal/hard rock album in and of itself. I happen to really like Dave's vocals, and this is a strong album in that respect with loads of catchey hooks that I find myself singing along to. And if you listen to the last 2 or 3 albums leading up to this one you can hear the progession that led to Risk. I guess I like this one for the same reason I like Rush's Signals... because it was so different from anything they had done up to that point. Unfortunately (IMHO) Rush continued down that path, where as for Megadeth it was one and done... they got it out of their system and then moved on. If nothing else, I find Risk to me more memorable than the 6 or so albums since then that kinda all sound like the same formula and all run together in my mind. To each his own.

Not their most consistent album, but there's a bunch of quite good songs there, it just doesn't quite sound like a Megadeth album. It would have likely gotten a much better reception had it been released under another moniker.

Don't know any post 2000 albums so I'll trust your words. However, I must be the only one who really likes Cryptic Writings (even metal expert Martin Popoff gives it a so-so). All I can say is you throw the disc on and it sounds great start to finish! Not heavy enough?? Anyway your top 2 are excellent and both very memorable. I remember the first time I heard Peace Sells; guitars were doing battle, coming at you from all angles. Truly a new technical assault of the senses! Mustaine should be remembered for his innovation

Risk Megadeth for me is a band where though I've been listening to them for most of my life, what I view as their weaker albums are albums I practically never listen to. There are tracks that I enjoy, but as an album? They don't do a lot for me. Still, an important band for me and I freaked out a lot when I first bought and listened to Rust in Peace in my CD walkman. I hadn't actually heard any of that album before, only Megadeth song I had at home was "The World Needs A Hero."

Excellent list! I love that United Abomination and Youthanasia were shown the love they deserve, they're often pretty underrated. The top of my list would be something like this: 1) Rust in Peace 2) Peace Sells (but basically on par with Rust) 3) So Far So Good so What 4) Killing is my Business 5) Youthanasia 6) United Abominations 7) Countdown to Extinction 8) Endgame. I haven't listened to their other stuff enough to give them solid rankings, but I like bits and pieces from most, even a little bit off Risk isn't too bad.
