Never got the hate for this or Youthanasia, they're both great.



Never heard anything from them after that though.

>My issue is they weren't 'countering' the grunge explosion, metal was more riding its coattails into the mainstream.



also a good way to look at it yeah



>was the day commercially ambitious bands like Megadeth knew they had to come up with something different



but its not really that different... its just a more accessible verison of their sound



im only half going to bat for them but if you want a big-ish thrash band actually trying something different check kreator's 90s albums with the industrial and gothic influences... they sure have more creativity than releasing violent revolution 5 times which is what theyve done since then. *that* was a bold move. sepultura's roots was a bold move. voivod's 90s stuff.



>Never got the hate for this or Youthanasia, they're both great.



agree, hate is too much / unwarranted

"Never heard anything from them after that though."

Listen to Risk if you're open to different things and to The System Has Failed, it's pretty much the only album really worth checking out since this one.

Agreed, The System Has Failed is awesome. It's like this with better hooks.

I don't like this much but Youthanasia is great. all the songs and riffs here feel so flat and generic, wheras Youth is a lot more creative and passionate imo.



@Dewinged there are a few decent albums after this Youth. Endgame is a 4.5/5

The part where Dave gets raped in prison in "Captive Honour" is hilarious

This was such a fucking letdown after RIP



Also, Sweating Bullets is in my bottom 5 Megadeth songs. Absolute travesty of a song
