5.0 classic | Megadeth | August 23rd 11 | he took a risk [2]

2.5 average | CrazyFool84 | January 5th 09 | I do commend the band's efforts for mixing things up a bit on this album. Let me stat for the record that my rating has absolutely nothing to do with Megadeth mixing up their sound format...I think that was a really good idea on their part, and more artists who find themselves in a similarly stagnating pool of recycled music should try it. The unfortuantely thing is that the idea is only good in concept here, as Megadeth is never really able to pull off what they seem to be going for. It almost has a half-assed vibe to it, so much room for potential but failing to put it to use.

1.0 awful | EasterInTheBatcave | December 6th 15 | I commend Megadeth's attempt to change their sound up, but unfortunately the change ended up for the worse, not the better. Risk is full of abysmal lyrics and boring songwriting, and not much else.

0.0 | jayt851 | December 16th 12 | Atleast all the albums with bad reputations from thrash bands like Slayer,Testament,Sepultura,and Metallica put out albums with good music even though they changed their style. Megadeth is the only band that put out a sell out album with bad music on it. Anthrax's - We Come for you all album had music that can be enjoyed but Risk belongs on the sale rack at K mart

3.5 great | Drunb | October 14th 11 | It's a pretty good album, not a classic, but by rock standards it's awesome.

1.5 very poor | GnFnRs87 | September 5th 11 | Sorry Dave, you got it wrong. This is Megadeth's 'St Anger' moment, luckily though they recovered. Hopefully the same will be said for Metallica, but not at the moment.

2.5 average | Fernando Alves STAFF | August 2nd 11 | Well Dave...Something went wrong here. This and The World Needs a Hero are in my opinion their worst records.

4.0 excellent | yarghimapirate | September 15th 08 | great rock album, not supposed to be a thrash album. mustaine's vocals are great here if you like his voice. songs like crush em and prince of darkness are pretty fun to listen to.

0.0 | Red Cap Brain | October 28th 06 | I don't see why so much people dislike this album. Ok, it's sure that you will be disappointed of Risk if you expect a thrash record but do you want to hear the same over and over again. Risk is maybe a shitty album for a thrashband but If you can ignore this you will find out that this is a great ROCKalbum.

3.0 good | Brabiz | June 21st 22 | Imagine Megadeth if they made a Pearl Jam album. This is actually a pretty solid record. Insomnia is kind of laughable, and Crush Em has the cringiest guitar lick ever, but tracks like Bread Line and Ill Be There are total ear candy. Great melodies and vocals on those tracks. In a lot of ways this is Mustaine at his peak vocally, and I definitely appreciate a lot of this album for that.

1.0 awful | Ossacip Olbap | October 2nd 21 | insomnia made me laugh. this is really sad man, trv rating 0.5

4.5 superb | Gary STAFF | September 21st 19 | Not really a 4.5 but since it has infinite replay value I gave it. If you have no expectations you can truly enjoy this album. They took risk, and I'm glad they did: each song stands well on it's own and pretty fun to listen to. The mix is great, the song length's are spot on, and Dave's singing is exceptionally good. I enjoy this a lot lately.

2.0 poor | Ganoncannon | February 5th 18 | Megadeth somehow get away with crappy disco and pop rock whilst many of their peers are retrospectively mocked for 'selling out.'
Bump |
3.0 good | Corde64 | March 29th 16 | Good rock album, people dislike it just because it isn't thrash, lol. For being what it is, it's good, I like it. It has some very boring songs nontheless.
Bump |
2.0 poor | FirstStrikeIsDeadly | February 7th 15 | Honestly? Crush Em is the nadir of Megadeth's discography. I really just don't like this album, even if it has some alright moments. I'll at least admit that Breadline is pretty good.
Bump |
2.5 average | ViperAces | July 26th 13 | not the worst album ever people say it is, but one of megadeth's worst. quite a few enjoyable moments to be found here
Bump |
2.5 average | eloimayano | January 21st 13 | Still better than the worse stuff that Metallica has made, but you have a lot to go through in Megadeth before having to get into this one.
Bump |
4.0 excellent | hoiman202 | June 11th 07 | Megadeth NEED to make more albums like Risk! Besides being my favorite Megadeth album, Risk is the perfect, heavy(especially crush em) album for any Megadeth fan! If I went to Megadeth live, I would tell Dave Mustaine to play Ecstasy, my fav. Megadeth song.

3.5 great | wakeupdead | November 30th 06 | My least favourite Megadeth album, but is still a great album. I never used to like it, until a couple of days ago, when I gave it a second chance, and found myself enjoying the CD very much. My favourite song here is: Prince of Darkness. Very underrated.
Bump |
2.5 average | Homesliceman | November 6th 06 | For me, this album was a little of a dissapointment. But there are a few good songs on here(Prince of Darkness, The Doctor is Calling, etc.) I didn't expect so much......pop. This is definitely the worst Megadeth album. Totally the opposite direction from Rust in Peace and their earlier work.
Bump |
2.5 average | met65 | July 17th 06 | The album just sounds too much like pop. Crush Em, Insomnia,Breadline, and Prince of Darkness are the only good tracks(in my opinion)
