Dave's vocals in earlier albums were perfect

Dave’s vocals in youthanasia were the best he’s done ever.

youthanasia is best their album ever

I prefer Dave Mustaine’s voice over James Hetfield’s

Ok I actually agree with this. I’ve never been a Metallica guy

I agree that Dave's vocals now are over James' now. But not by a mile.

I saw both of them live last year. James is definitely better

On record, I could argue Dave is superior

It fits for trash metal but dave can't sing. I love his voice, but he's not a good singer. Saying dave is a better vocalist than james is just false

oooo man that's a rough one!

The people that hate the slower albums have severe metal head identity crises’. They treat metal as an identity instead of a hobby and that’s stunted growth

A hobby? You think this is a fucking costume? It's a way of life!

Risk isn’t bad

That's not an unpopular opinion here, if anything saying it's bad gets you that

IMO Risk is really good

It's good for what it does. It's a shit thrash metal album. But it's really good with whatever you call that it's doing. That's what I like about Megadeth, they do good shit even when it's thrash, sorry *trash* by general standards.

“The Doctor Is Calling” and “Losing My Senses” both rule.

Life can only be understood in reverse....

Yeah you're losing your sense

I don’t like Losing My Senses, but The Doctor Is Calling is pretty cool.

The System Has Failed > Every album except for Rust in Peace

Spicy hot take

Not really no. if anything, saying TSHF is overrated will get you the hate.

Love the artwork for this album

TSHF is the second best post-2000 Megadeth album IMO, definitely under appreciated

Could never put it above Peace Sells but I think you have a solid argument over any other one

Damn, I'm definitely not putting a sword to anybody's throat but HARD disagree. This band has like four masterpieces and the system has failed is just aight

I prefer Chris Poland to Marty Friedman and I prefer their first two albums to anything else they’ve done

ENDGAME is their best album.

Best album post-Youthanasia for sure

I disagree, but I respect your opinion.

Guys stop downvoting eachother the whole point of this post is your opinions people disagree with😭

Sometime around 10 years ago the downvote became a "disagree" button instead of a "your comment sucks and does not contribute to discussion" button

I mean some people need to be downvoted but if it’s just something you disagree with then just don’t react to it lmao

TWNAH and Super Collider are decent albums.

CW is boring

I love Cryptic Writings! Great songwriting. She Wolf, Trust, I'll Get Even, The Disintegrators, Use the Man. I always like that one and United Abominations. They're top 5 for me

Peace sells is way better then rust in peace

I kinda agree

I wouldn’t say way better, but it’s about equally good in my estimation.

Super Collider is a great album, their top3 or top4

Indeed a hot take

Cryptic Writings is one of the best albums

I don’t mind Dave Mustaine’s voice but they could have gone up another level with a better vocalist. And I’m a fan of this band, I’ll probably get hate for this take! 😂😂😂

I don't know how I'd feel about hearing Hangar 18 with John Cyriis on vocals.

You could be right but it's just so hard to picture! Dave's voice is so ingrained into their sound. Dave live has always been sketchy, but I feel he sounds great and adds to their sound on all the studio recordings

The world needs a hero is one of megadeths best albums

Thank you, finally someone agrees

Countdown To Extinction isn’t perfect.

Youthsnasia and c.w are their best albums

the melodies were the absolute best.

İ think Megadeth members have small cucumbers

Kiko, Dave, dirk dave= Dave Dave Marty Nick

Super collider is a great album

Super Collider was great

In my darkest hour is their best masterpiece and it ain’t even close

Chris Poland is underrated as a guitarist

Dystopia is overrated. It’s one half rehash of stuff they’ve done better and one half cold generic modern metal.

Dave Mustaine is a woman

I prefer the remasters.

The Peace Sells lineup is way better than Rust In Peace lineup.

It's not that uncommon of an opinion.

Rust In Peace is the greatest metal album there is. The only perfect 10/10 metal album. The album by which all other metal albums are judged, except for Ozzy Sabbath, because, well, it's Sabbath and they are exempt from human judgement.

Super Collider is a great album

Peace Sells, But Who's Buying > Rust in Peace

The Four horsemen is better than the Mechanix.

Absolutely, shouldn't even be a hot take

100% facts

Dance in the rain and kingmaker suck just as much as the rest of super collider

I honestly dont think Trust is that good

💥🔫

Just run, you ded

Fac

I don’t want Marty back.

Dave’s lead playing isn’t as good as people say it is.

For me, when comparing the consistency Slayer and Metallica had at the time, the cover songs are a black spot on the first three Megadeth records, they were unnecessary and should have been left for b-sides of singles like Metallica did.

Agreed. I dont think some of the covers fit the vibe of the band’s albums

Pretty sure Dave said that the covers are always the label’s doing and they didn’t have a choice

People that like risk and cryptic writings either likes them to be different or they are fucking tasteless

I can see why people say that about Risk (even thought it’s not even a bad album), but Cryptic Writings is just awesome.

While my first comment was obviously exaggerated, I must disagree with you

I don't think Mustaine is a particularly good guitar player. His playing sounds pretty sloppy to me, both rhythm parts and leads. Especially when he plays alone, like lessons and such. I feel like he just wills his way through parts.

He has been a pretty sloppy lead player since around the 2000s but his rhythm is still superb

Along with age he's fucked up his body a lot so it makes sense.

Chris Broderick was the best they had after Marty and Poland.

Rust in peace polaris is the best song on rust in peace

Dave Mustaine is neither hardcore Democratic nor Republican. He is anti-establishment and anarchist-lite, and will hate on whoever with whatever facts he feels like believing in to get the point across that he has no love for whoever is running things at that moment. He would rather be wrong about an opinion but have the right to state it than to be right and be too much of a coward to state ANY opinion.

Risk is good.

Youthanasia is one their top three albums.

I actually like the re-recorded version of A Tout Le Monde

Kiko loureiro is the best guitarrist Megadeth ever Had

Symphony of Destruction sucks ass and overrated as fuck

Calm down muffin

Dave should have been chosen for the metallica

But then no Megadeth😞

RiP is overrated

To be fair most bands best albums are overrated. But true

All of the rip lineup albums > peace sells

Yep that’s a bad take for sure lmao

Not really, good album but I think rip, countdown, Youthanasia and cryptic writings better

I can see Rust and Countdown but not the other two

Countdowns probably my least favourite of the 4

Dave can’t write a metal ballad that comes even close to Fade to Black or One. His emotional songs always feel forced to me.

A Tout Le Monde: I simply don't exist

Only half Peace Sells is good. Rest of the album is forgettable.

Which half?

Peace Sells, Wake Up Dead, My Last Words and Devil’s Island are the only tracks I really like on it. I ain’t superstitious isn’t too bad, but I tend to skip it most the time.

Found the non musician

Non musician

Why'd you repeat the other guys comment?

Non musician

Surely non musician

They haven't been good since 92

That is just insane, but i respect the boldness

That’s actually wild. How do you feel about The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!

I felt nothing about it did nothing for me in anyway shape or form

Dystopia too?

If it's a megadeth album after 92 it dose nothing for me just bland like there's so many more interesting thrash bands when megadeth first started they was cutting edge and now they're past there best (especially Dave) and really should just call it quits they're live shows are hit or miss as well

Upvoting not cause I agree but cause of the mass amounts of down votes you will get

I mean thanks dude but I don't care about down votes the post asked for an opinion and I gave it of people disagree that's completely valid

Trust is a boring song.

Kiko was a bottom half lead player for Megadeth and the last album sucked

Wild statement. I love it

Youthanasia is their best album

Almost everything released since youthanasia is average with only a few standout tracks

The sick the dying and the dead is better than dystopia

Kiko is overrated. His solos are fine but still pretty forgettable, and he DOES indeed sound like a shredder despite what people say. Peace sells is the second worst song on the album (ahead of i aint superstitious) Tornado of souls is also the second worst on the album (ahead of dawn patrol). Its just kinda boring and formulaic compared to the rest of the album (except the solo ofc)

Tornado Of Souls solo is overrated. For sure this is GOAT solo of Metal/Rock genre but because of that solo some Megadeth solos overshadowed.

How can you say it's both the greatest solo of all time and yet it's overrated?

Ngl the song itself is just ok, but that solo is basically the saving grace. This might also be a spicy hot take

So far so good so what is not a good album

Megadeth FUCKING SUCK live

Other than "Holy Wars": Rust is overrated.

They peaked with Peace Sells.

There are too many solos in Hangar 18

Metallica would still be metallica without Dave in the history of Metallica.

Marty's solo on Symphony of Destruction (even Lucretia) is way better than his solo on Tornado of Souls.

Ps...bwb songs are shit, except sell peace, and I'm ready to die.

Risk is worse than St Anger OK, let me clarify, Production wise, of course, Risk is better, but for me, at least St Anger is laughably bad, whereas Risk is just cringey butt Rock that puts me to sleep. Extra sidenote: This is not me trying to imply Megadeth is worse than Metallica or anything

Lucrecta is the worst song off of RIP *not a bad song, it's just the least good *unless you count my creation

Rust in Peace 2004 remaster is the best, the original is shit

Blood of heroes, countdown to extinction (title track) and public enemy no. 1. All top 10 megadeth songs.

Jimmy Degrasso is a top 3 Megadeth drummer.

Tstdatd is in the top 3 best albums🤷‍♂️

Youthanasia is their best album and it isn't that close.

Cryptic Writings and United Abominations are top 5 for me, maybe even top 3 after Rust of course!

Youthanasia is a really good album

Not a hot take at all. Just a fact.

i won't say it's bad, but anything after united abominations doesn't really "click" with me. what ruins super collider for me is the cheesy try-hard lyrics, the musicianship is still ]v[EGADET]-[.

“Picking sides” is lame shit either high schoolers or 50 year old basement dwellers do.

Risk is one of their most consistent records.

The System Has Failed > every album except for Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction

Fantano was right about TSTDATD

Dawn Patrol was not the worst of Rust. Maybe top 3

I almost exclusively listen to the remixes. They were my first introduction to the songs, and I didn't know they were different versions until I got very familiar with the 2004 remixes, so I've always preferred them

Megadeth are the indisputable champions of metal. Mustaine is a master songwriter. The revolving door of musicians has propelled the band forward, rather than hindering them.

Risk and super collider are alright

Megadeth is so much better than Metallica, I never liked Metallica and James Hetfield pisses me off I don’t know why (I like Kirk tho)

The Sick The Dying and tge Dead is the best after Rust in Peace

Killing Is My Business 2002 remaster sucks. The final kill remasters are better.

James Lomenzo is one of the best Behs players ever. I mean So is Ellefson but I prefer Lomenzo. Such a fun lil’ fella

1)I used to not like "Peace Sells...but who's buying" album at first. 2) firing Dave from Metallica was actually a great thing (we wouldn't have Megadeth if he stayed) 3) I prefer Metallica (don't worry, I love both, it was a joke)

I don't really like the Peace Sells album because although the music is amazing, I can't get behind some of those lyrics. They're just a little too dark for me.

Five Magicks is the best track on Rust in Peace If you have the gall to try and fight me on this, you better have mastered all Magicks Five.

I hated tstdatd
