Endgame is awesome. Definatly the best album since the early 90's era.
This Day We Fight is an awesome opener to the album.

We're about due for the next album, ain't we? Let's go DC, but down the bong and get to typin'!!

Yeah, its coming, been a little busy lately.

Youthanasia might not be thrash metal, but it's still one HEAVY record, and one of my favorites in the Megadeth catalog. It's almost got a doom-like quality to it, leaving room for a lot of experimentation that I think worked very well. With Dave focusing on more than blind aggression, the band was free to write good, melodic heavy metal with a lot of catchy hooks. Another thing I like was that Dave was still running the show of course, but every last song was co-written with someone in the band, so it really shows that yes, Dave is the ringleader, but when the rest of the band gets involved, they can produce a much better album than they would with Dave writing everything.

Another great Megadeth record!!!! They were really on a roll for quite a while!!!

I love this album, the intro song with the heavy percussion and killer riff. At this point in their career Megadeth where on a creative and commercial wave. Megadeth where not just getting critical acclaim from the metal press but some of other mags such as worst rag to ever to hit the streets Spin sat up and took notice.

Like DC states the band is no longer concerned with being pissed off and more concerned with building on their success. Songs may have been a bit more radio friendly but there was still an element of fierceness and old fashion Mega Dave attitude.

Melodic but still heavy. I played this one to death when it came out! Still like years later. A good Megadeth platter.

Defintly a good album best suggestion Ult's ever given me hehe

I loved this album when it came out.I played it all the time.It was very melodic but still Heavy at the same time.Its one of those albums that I listen to all the way through without hitting the skip button.

I bought this the day it came out & I still feel the same way now about it as I did back then...it is my least fave Megadeth album, sure there are some good songs on it (and I like the album) but most of the songs don't grab me. Train Of Consequences was the only song by Megadeth I've ever hated, now I actually somewhat like it. I really like all the bonus material on the remaster though. Cool cover.

This was an album that I liked but due to the sound difference I felt they went the way of Metallica and I stopped listening and sold it off. Many years later after maturing as far as my listening habits (today I doubt I would have reacted the same way to the musical changes of Megadeth or Metallica) I got the album again and now enjoy it immensely and unlike Load (which I recently gava a second chance and somewhat enjoyed) it wasn't too long and riddled with filler like said Metallica album. I love this album and glad I finally grew up as a metal fan. Favorite songs are Train Of Consequences, Addicted To Chaos, A Tout le Monde, Elysian Fields, Blood Of Heros, Family Tree, Black Curtains, and Victory.

While this was not quite as strong an album as Countdown, it's still full of great moments. The technicality seems about on par with the previous album but if anything the speed of the songs has been throttled back a bit in favor of a bit more heaviness. The record was certainly written with chart success in mind, which it definitely attained, but I still like it maybe only a little less than Countdown.

At this point Megadeth certainly weren't all about speed and technicality but in my mind they more than made up for that with some good heavy songs that are memorable and make you want to sing along to 'em (something Dave seems to have forgotten a bit with his most recent release).
All in all I think it's a good Megadeth release with only a few filler tracks.

Haven't listened to YOUTHANASIA in a while but when it was current I played the hell out of it. I remember buying it on the first day of release at the Tower Records in my home town. I got a free Megadeth t-shirt with the purchase, that had a pic of Vic Rattlehead cradling a baby on the front and the back said "Where the Hell is Megadeth, Arizona?" (a reference to their then-new Internet site). Now that I think about it, that may have been the first time I had even heard of the Internet. How time flies huh?

I'm gonna have to give this CD a spin now that I think about it. Always did like "Reckoning Day," "Train of Consequences" and the original version of "A Tout Le Monde."

The album art and packaging was a little high-brow and artsier than I expected for a Megadeth album, but I love the album cover and how it makes a visual pun out of the album title.

Countdown To Extinction and Youthanasia are 2 great cds. I think Countdown is the better of the 2 but not by much. Good solid songs throughout.These 2 were their last good ones for a while but they will redeem themselves down the line.

Great Megadeth Album!!

This is my favourite era of the band - damn heavy and very memorable as well - Train of Consequences is one of my favourite Medadeth songs.

Another killer record from Megadeth, another commercial success. I have read many reviews stating that this is a disappointing 'deth album, but I disagree. It's a more melodic product, but I think that suits them well. One can only suspect that the huge success of Metallica made Dave try to sound mellower. Nevertheless I really dig this album, and it's one of my fave 'deth albums. The politically laden lyrics are also replaced with more personal material. I believe that Dave was wrestling his inner demons, and had to get some of it out. Megadeth has always been about cool riffs, and that is what we get here as well. "Victory" is a cool tune, that is actually kind of a tribute to themselves. It contains titles of 20 other 'deth-tunes!

Killer tracks: Train Of Consequences, Addicted To Chaos, A Tout Le Monde, Youthanasia, I Thought I Knew It All, Victory

me like

Killing Is My Business - For YEARS, this has been the lone 'deth album I didn't own. I had never even listened to it. I finally ordered it online a few weeks ago and have spun it four or five times all the way through since. I really like it. It isn't as thrashy as I was expecting it to be. I love the piano intro for the album. It's a good debut, but not a great album.

Peace Sells - I prefer the melodic heavy metal side of Megadeth over the thrashy stuff, so this one doesn't really work for me although there are few choice cuts like "Wake Up Dead" and "Peace Sells".

So Far, So Good - "In My Darkest Hour" is one of the Megadeth's greatest song, but the rest of the album is spotty.

Rust in Peace - Again, I'm not huge into their thrash stuff, so I won't act like this is one of the most amazing albums of all time. It's good though and the best of their first four. I LOVE the album cover though.

Countdown to Extinction - The first 'deth album that I really love but initially, I didn't care for it. Many people point to this album as the band's downfall, but what's wrong with melody?

Youthanasia - Megadeth's best and one of my favorite albums of all time. ZERO filler, you can easily sing along to just about every song. This, not Rust in Peace, is the album I always want Dave's latest album to aspire to.

I need to listen to this one, I've never heard it...though I have heard a few of the cover tunes.

I like this little EP, it has some great songs and it follows very well considering the different eras this was recorded .

The only song I do not care for is their version of Alice Cooper's 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' I just thought it sounded toothless and that the band did not want to change it too much from the original.

'Problems' on the other hand is an excellent version, I am huge Sex Pistols fanboy but I like the fact that took this song and made it their own.

HIDDEN TREASURES is a cool disc; it was a convenient way to keep your Megadeth collection up to speed without having to buy a dozen different movie soundtrack and tribute albums. "99 Ways To Die" is one of my fave Deth tracks EVER, and "Go To Hell," "Diadems" and the Sex Pistols cover "Problems" all totally smoke.

I think I've given this EP more play over the years than the album that came before it (YOUTHANASIA) or most of the stuff that's come afterwards.
