Definitely has its cheesy moments but 'Countdown' was massive for me in 1992...might have been my most played that year.



I still think 'The Black Album' is slightly better and definitely that was an even bigger album for me the year before....but if you start comparing 'Load' and 'Youthanasia' there's only one winner and it's the album without 'Mama Said'...

Yeah Megadeth definitely had a better run in the 90’s even if you don’t count Rust

You’ll dig Countdown Hawks. It’s legit a great record… personally I do like it more than the Black Album but I also am one of those “but their first four albums” assholes

I have both 'The Black Album' and 'Countdown' at a 4.5 so there's less in it than I used to think for sure.

I always thought Youthanaisa was more comparable to Black Album despite being their second attempt being mainstream radio friendly rock.

I heard RIP like a decade ago and remember loving it. Jammed the first seven albums today.

Yeah, I always put off a lot of the "classic" metal bands for a long time. Finally got hard into Sabbath and Priest, although I still have to finish both of their discogs, and I finally did the whole Maiden discog, now I'm doing Megadeth. Feels good lol.

Are there any other “iconic” bands that you missed out on.



It is just so funny that you’ll know every brutal blackened death metal band recorded on a potato that has like 17 monthly listeners but never jammed Megadeth or did deep dives into Sabbath or Priest… like kus said it’s honestly shocking lol

Love all of the first six and I even dig Cryptic Writings a fair amount.

Countdown is probably my least fav of the first six honestly, but it still rips. Solid 3.7 for me.

I really don’t fuck with Anthrax man. I don’t know what it is but I just cannot get into them I’ve listened to the “classics” and nothing ever grabbed me



I really don’t see how they’re getting mentioned in the same breath as Metallica or Megadeth… and tbh Slayer really shouldn’t get that treatment either. They made some good records but nothing comparable to these guys or Metallica at their peak
