I actually love Killing is my Business, it's one of my favorite Megadeth albums, but I get why some people don't like it. The best album is Rust in Peace, but my favorite is actually Peace Sells. And their worst is Super Collider by far.

Dystopia is a killer album

thanks. this was really interesting, l ive never heard of some of these albums. sounds like i should be glad of that tbh.

I’m gonna be honest, I strongly disagree with you on Risk. No joke, I’d rather marathon St Anger and Lulu back to back for a week than listen to Risk ever again. There’s not one single redeemable song on that entire album. Insomnia is boring, Prince Of Darkness is boring, Enter The Arena is boring, Crush Em is boring, every single song on that album is boring. It’s a flat out 0 for me but I’m glad you got more enjoyment outta it than I did. Imma give this a like because I still thoroughly enjoyed this video

Your videos are the best in rating or reviewing metal cds.

Megadeth is THE Band that you can thank for me coming the Metalhead I am today. Peace Sells was my 1st Metal album I ever heard that got me to be really interested with Metal (I heard some of Ozzy’s , Metallica’s, Judas Priest’s hits on radio stations but tbh they did not interest me into getting into Metal) Being a HUGE Punk fan Peace Sells immediately interested me. Megadeth ever since then has become one of my favorite bands of all time If not my favorite possibly Killing is My Business: While this is one of the Weaker Big 4 Debuts I do think it is Underrated af. I know many people hate the production but for the INSANE punky Thrash they were going for while not always the most consistent that Nancy Sinatra Cover was pretty bad but this still a great album 4/5. Peace Sells: MASTERPIECE. Every Song 5/5 SFSGSW: A Really good follow up even if it gets REALLY weird. I don’t really enjoy 502 but the rest Amazing 4.5/5 Rust in Peace: Not only my favorite Metal album of all time. IT is my favorite ALBUM of all time period. 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000/5 Countdown to extinction: Its a great follow up to one of the Greatest albums ever made 90% if not all of the songs on here are bangers 5/5 Youthanasia: I love every single song on here this is honestly a PERFECT Heavy metal album. I love most of the Vocals on here (Ok except those very questionable lyrics on family tree) But it is my 2nd favorite album from Megadeth 5/5 Cryptic Writings: It’s an album that has grown on me tbh I love she Wolf, Vortex, but it does a few stinkers 3.5/5 Risk: Tbh I really like this album it is one of my biggest guilty pleasures specially The Doctor’s calling, Insomnia, Prince of Darkness, The Time songs I find to be fun but it does have a few genuine cringe moments though like Breadline 3.5/5 The World Needs a Hero: the World doesn’t need this Boring, Uninspired, Bland and Outright SAFE album and fuck Promises, When 1.5/5. The System has Failed: Amazing comeback. Love MOST of these tracks except for the last 2 songs on the album it ends on a Wimper. 4/5 United Abominations: One of their true Highlights post Countdown Era. I LOVE the 1st Side and most of the 2nd Half (Ok but Amerikhastan that song and lyrics are awful) 4.5/5 Endgame: Honestly would say that this album was REALLY Close to being a Genuine modern metal masterpiece but I don’t like the cheesy ballad on this thing I think it completely slows down the momentum on this record. 4.5/5 13: it’s.......Ok but ngl pretty disappointing I do think they should have included this in a B-Sides EP and should have made more original material because Black Swan, Public Enemy no 1, Sudden Death, Never Dead are the only good songs on here 2.5/5 Supercollider: While I would say we have differing opinions on the megadeth Discography as a Whole we can both agree to show this album the middle finger. Kingmaker is the ONLY song I would say that is decent on this thing but I hate everything else about this album. Dave’s Vocals are shit, the composition is Weak, their worst production ever even KILLING IS MY BUSINESS’s Production I would say is better. I do think this album is better than disasterpieces like Lulu, Diabolus in Musica but it gets DAMN NEAR Close with challenging those 2 for the shit crown 0.5/5 an abomination. Dystopia-Given the Fact that this was my 1st Megadeth album I got to hear released as a HUGE fan at this point I have a deep personal connection to this thing. I do think this is their best album since Youthanasia, (Yes the lyrics are.....yikes but I stopped taking Dave seriously after Endgame and some of the badly aged politically charged lyrics on that thing. Seriously Dave listened to Alex Jones a little TOO MUCH) but I actually LOVE the production here. Kiko, and Chris Adler gave Megadeth the kick in the ass they needed to make amazing thrash metal. This and Anthrax’s For all Kings (You need to do Anthrax now, might as well finish the big 4) are masterpieces and easily my 2 favorite Big 4 albums Released in a LONG Time 5/5 Well that was my TED Talk on Megadeth. It’s ok to disagree I still love and support y’all 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥

Rust in peace is my favorite album of the Big 4. It's ridiculously good

Risk wasn't released in 97. It was cryptic writings.

Awesome video man. My favorite megadeth album will always be peace sells that and rust (both a 5 IMO)for least favorite Endame and world needs a hero ( 0.5 and 1 respectively)

My Opinions: KIMB: A fun debut but production leaves a bit to be desired Peace Sells: Bonified Classic So Far So Good: A bit biased as this was my intro to Dave and Co but a pretty good Thrash album Rust In Peace: Masterpiece Countdown: Also a Masterpiece imo Youthanasia: Not bad, love the song Killing Road though Cryptic Writings: Pretty good, I'd say this is Megadeth's Black Album., Vortex is underrated Risk: Not awful but sounds like a Dave Post-Grunge Solo Album TWNAH: Garbage, minus The Dread and The Fugitive Mind System Has Failed: Ok, a step in the right direction, love Blackmail the Universe though United: Beginning of Dave's Alex Jones phase but some consistent material on here. Endgame: Really solid album Thirteen: B-Sides the album Super Collider: Even the song Kingmaker can't save this album Dystopia: Better but peak Cringe Mustaine lyrics and kinda forgettable The Sick The Dying and The Dead: Not perfect but a much better album with some better songs than some previous albums mentioned and much less cringe lyrics.

A great undertaking

So Far So Good So What is a masterpiece 🤘

Hey man! You mentioned that you were at the Megadeth show in Toronto not too long ago. I was there too! Perhaps you'd do a video reviewing the show? I'd be Curious to hear what you thought about it.

Rust in peace wasn't my favourite. Countdown was. Absolutely mind-blowing

Risk over Youthanasia is crazy to me. Still a great video

Man, this is revisiting an old video of yours... but... What about doing some reviews of band members' projects outside the Big Four? Admittedly, I'm curious about your opinion of Damn The Machine, but you could do former members of Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer... easily! Love your interactions with Anna, because my Love is just as much a reason why I'm funny... and don't come across as so in these posts, because she's at work while I'm drunk/in pain. But trust me, we get you! Love your insight! Hope the algorithm does, too! Edit: I would LOVE a comparison between the different versions of MD.45!

So much "Fuckin" when it comes to Rust in peace so you know it's great

Good vid! We disagree about several of these (Killing, Youth, System, United, Thirteen) but I understand your perspectives. Totally agree about Dystopia too - I find it musically bland and the lyrics are awful to the point of distracting from the music. The “best album since Rust” takes about it are just insane to me lol

My ranking 15. Super Collider 14. Risk 13. The System Has Failed 12. Th1rt3en 11. The World Needs A Hero 10. Cryptic Writings 9. United Abominations 8. Countdown To Extinction 7. Youthanasia 6. Killing Is My Business 5. Dystopia 4. Endgame 3. So Far, So Good... So What! 2. Rust In Peace 1. Peace Sells

Where's Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets? Mustaine wrote all of those albums too, ya know. /s Edit: I like how my sarcastic comment led to a legit argument in the replies haha

Just came across your channel and it’s fucking awesome here! You got my sub😊 Regards from 🇵🇱

United Abomination is so underrated, I love that album!! Don’t understand why most people say it’s mediocre

My top 3 favorite Megadeth albums are Rust in Peace (5/5), Youthanasia (4.5/5), and Countdown to Extinction (4.25/5). I enjoy the hell out of Youthanasia haha

Hidden treasures is my favorite ha haha.

how do yall not like tshf?

I don’t think Risk is better than killing is my business but that’s my personal opinion

Rust in Peace best album followed by countdown to extinction and dystopia

The world needs a hero is a banger of an album whatchu mean and so is Th1rt3en, good call on super collider tho lol

Pretty spot on. Thou I do like Dystopia a little better. I think it's pretty solid. It could be the left over butt hurt from their previous albums as you mention but whatever the reason I like it. And I like the production. I think it sounds great. I'm with you on the politics, however. Bravo!

My favorite is Youthanasia, fucking fight me

Every single Testament album?

New World Order is an underrated banger, change my mind.

Top stuff as always, old bean :) Much thanks !!!! *DO DOWN* !!!! ...please :)

Finally found someone who prefers Risk over The World Needs A Hero. My rating for Risk would not be as high as yours but I certainly enjoy this album more than The World Needs A Hero. For me, Risk is a poor album but I have the same opinion as you on The World Needs A Hero.

I definitely agree that Super Collider is Megadeth’s worst album, but I feel like a big reason why it loses people is the track listing. It starts off strong with Kingmaker but then the title track sounds like a b side from the Cryptic Writings era to me and then Burn and Built For War are some of the most generic Megadeth songs ever and that’s tracks 2-4. It really picks up for me after that. Off The Edge, Dance In The Rain, Beginning Of Sorrow, The Blackest Crow, Forget To Remember, Don’t Turn Your Back, A House Divided and All I Want are all enjoyable songs in my opinion. I wouldn’t say that any of the songs I enjoy are amazing or essential Megadeth songs but I do think the album as a whole is much better than it gets credit for.

"The Conquering"? Yeah, great track! lol.

My rank would be: 16 - The World Needs a Hero 15 - Youthanasia 14 - Risk 13 - Super Collider 12 - So Far, So Good… So What?! 11 - The System Has Failed 10 - Killing is My Business… And Business is Good! 9 - Th1rt3en 8 - Cryptic Writings 7 - United Abominations 6 - The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! 5 - Dystopia 4 - Endgame 3 - Countdown to Extinction 2 - Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?! 1 - Rust In Peace

Cool

Opinions man, we all have Em, and therefore nothing you say is wrong.....but I disagree a bit. There's a great number of people that rank Peace Sells higher, or at least equal, to RIP. Peace Sells is my favorite, but I can admit that RiP might technically be a bit better. Grading Peace Sells closer to Sfsgsw than RiP is just silly. As is ranking CTE above Peace Sells. Oh, I've gotta stop. Risk is much worse than cryptic. Youthanasia is roughly on par with CTE. Oh, we disagree too much, I can't keep going on without sounding like a beeotch.

Lol I remember the video for Super Collider. It's so bad coming from Megadeth of all bands! It looks like something I'd expect from a 2010s indie pop band.

Review exodus please

super collider isnt that bad, forget to remember is a pretty good track, its better than the world needs a hero. and also rating youthanasia 2,5/5 is a crime

YALL

Countdown to extinction > peace sells

Can't say I agree but fun video none the less 🤘

rust in peace lowkey the goat

Literally had me screaming at my TV during the KIMB, Peace Sells, and Dystopia reviews. The KIMB and Dystopia reviews made my head explode. Well done.

Youthanasia is a classic, better than countdown to extinction

It’s funny how much I enjoy watching people talk about a band they care about, when I couldn’t really care less about that band. I never grew up loving Megadeth, I still don’t care about them, but I get excited when you talk about their highs, and I’m ready to laugh along when you tear into their low points. Great video, man!

Rust in peace 1st, I like Endgame for the 2nd one and Peace sells 3rd, but I dont like "Risk" at all, and "super collider" is very bad too I agree

Hate to do this to you bud but my ranking be: Youthanasia Rust in peace Peace sells Dystopia Killing is my business Countdown So far.. Thirteen Endgame The system has failed United abominations Cryptic writings Risk The world (dread and the fugitive mind is an amazing song tho) Supercollider

I agree with Risk being a decent album for what it is and I could never get into youthanasia.

6:02 i prefer Countdown 😳

Rust In Peace And Peace Sells Are Masterpieces In their Own Way But I Can Tell You Rust In Peace Is Hands down The Best record They have Ever Done and That Song Hangar 18 Probably Had One Of the Best ending to a rock song ever! And dont get me started on That Opening To Devils Island which is Evil As Shit and epic And Peace sells is a Totally Iconic like who doesnt know that song

My favourite is magabeans there best album so far 😅

Rust In Peace is definitely one of my favorite metal albums of all time. I love Five Magics.

LOL

Countdown to Extinction is a better Black Album, than the Black Album. Mind you, I don’t dislike the Black Album, but certainly Countdown is a more interesting and even entertaining record.

I have a Rust in peace patch on my vest that I got back in 2018.

I haven't watched the whole video but I gotta say: Super Collider kicks a ton of ass

You need to think of a more objective rating system.

Never understood the hate for world needs a hero I always thought was a banger I even like super collider for a listen but it’s one of my least favorite

The words “too raw” are not in my vocabulary sir. But Dave doesn’t like the first album anyways, although I love it to bits

Their first five albums will always be their best imo. Although im also a big fan of Endgame! I think it's a really underrated album.

Dystopia is unsetteling! Dave’s paranoia is very explicit and was bad then, but aged like milk. Still most others hail it as their best since “Rust In Peace”, hell no! Poisonous Shadows is honestly pretty good, but the rest not that good tbh. About Supercollider, terrible album, but Kingmaker is okay and Cold Sweat isn’t a MD song and I don’t like the original that’s why I like that too ;). Rust In Peace 10/10 Peace Sells 9,5/10 Endgame 9/10 Countdown 8,5/10 United Abominations 8/10 KIMB 7,5/10 Youthanasia 7/10 So Far, So Good... So What! 7/10 Cryptic Writings 5/10 Thirteen 5/10 Dystopia 5/10 Risk 4/10 The System Has Failed 4/10 The World Needs A Hero 2/10 Supercollider 1/10

i Expected Risk to be annihilated My disappointment is immeasurable, And my day is ruined. Jokes aside, great video as always

I totally respect your opinion, but as a hardcore Megadeth fan, I'm very surprised to see RISK ranked higher than Youthanasia. Both Objectively and Subjectively speaking, Youthanasia has far superior and listener friendly tracks to that of Risk. And if we're taking the "metal" content into consideration ... I think most metal fans we agree. ... Youthanasia would be digging the grave for Risk.

Rust in peace is a masterpiece Marty Friedmans guitar solo in Tornado of souls is insane once I heard that album I had to learn the whole album on guitar.

I remember buying Th1rth3en when it came out. BORING AS HELL.

Talking about Capitol insurrection... would you consider reviewing Iced Earth? They have some really sick albums.

I was very shocked by that Peace Sells score, as that was one of my introductions to this band and still stands as one of my all time favorite metal records. But yeah, Rust in Peace fucking kills any and all competition in its field, and even outside of it. I find it to be one of the most triumphant, if not the most, in all of extreme music, metal, and beyond. Thunderous, fast, chaotic, pissed off, what more can I say? If you can define metal in the dictionary, this record would be the picture in said dictionary. Outside of that, I've jammed a LOT of their music for years, and I actually rate them higher than Metallica despite having some noticeable dips in quality. Risk isn't anywhere near as bad as St. Anger, but it's still not good. Super Collider is easily their worst, and I haven't jammed the new record. Even then, when they hit the mark, it's a fucking bullseye, if not damn close. I'm not going to rank them this time because there's still some stuff I need to listen to from them, which is a lot to stomach. Other than that, my favorite out of the Big 4, bar none. And yes, even for how much I love Master and Ride the Lightning.

Set the world afire is definitely one of the best early Megadeth songs. Countdown is my favorite but I understand why everyone says RIP is their best . Countdown was my first exposure to Megadeth. It would tie RIP for me. I love the live feel of Youthanasia they were so tight after touring Countdown. Killing Road is killer and has another amazing Marty solo on it . Youthanasia is getting finer with age I think ?

Do a review on all Iced Earth cds.

Rust In Peace - best album - yes. However I actually like Th1t3en and Supercollider (sorry!). The track Kingmaker is a Children Of The Grave rip off but I can’t help but like it. I think I’m probably one of your oldest viewers (49) so it’s maybe the dad rock thing. I reckon you review every Cannibal Corpse album next. Not Six Feet Under!

Peace Sells is a 5/5 Rust is a 4.5/5 for me Rust has a couple songs that I could take or leave but on Peace Sells every single song is memorable making the album the perfect combination of accessible and extreme while being catchy. That's just me.🤷‍♂️

Aww man, I remember Duck Dodgers. Man, I missed a lot of episodes as a kid.

Pee sells, so who's buying?

Did you say Risk and the emo Breadline song off it is more memorable than Cryptic Writings? Wrong! Fans remember Trust, Secret Place, and She-Wolf far more than anything off Risk. Even "Almost Honest" is harder and just rocks more than "Breadline". Since when is Super Collider 'pandering to Baby Boomers'? Lol that's funny, never heard that, and I disagree. Why do you think they would do that in 2013? Strange theory to me!

What is a "Boomer?"

Peace sells is my personal fave but RIP is undeniably a classic... Plus I enjoyed 13 so come at me lol!

I have the same thoughts as you regarding Youthanasia. I was ridiculously hyped when it came out since RIP and Countdown were so awesome but that one fell flat and they pretty much lost me after that. I am however looking forward to the new album to see Dirk's influence on it.

United Abominations is my personal favorite🤷‍♂️. Love everything about it

Peace Sells is my favorite Megadeth Album, but I will agree that Rust in Peace is their BEST album

Looking Down the Cross from Killing is my Business and Business is Good is one of the greatest megadeth songs and the most underrated
