This man just made a list more controversial than the megadeth vs metalica debate Well done definitely don't agree with most of the placements but the points you made I can respect

I feel like Countdown is an S-Tier. I think in terms if variety of songs, it does it best. War, Famine, Schizophrenia, superheros, suicide, skydiving, and climate change were all topics done on that album. I don't mind the slower pace because it's clever and Dave writes some really clever lyrics in there alongside Youthanasia. Those two albums with Marty and Nick were when the band meshed well together. Peace Sells I would put below those two because some of it could be seen as cheesy. Like the Conjuring, Good Mourning/Black Friday, and I Ain't Superstitious were all kind of weird. Countdown and Youthanasia's subject matters have aged very well. It loses some speed, but Dave is a better singer on this one. His voice matches the frantic nature of Skin O' My Teeth, High Speed Dirt, Crown of Worms, Sweating Bullets, and This Was My Life so well. The melodic guitar solos on Countdown to Extinction and Ashes In Your Mouth were particulary nice to listen to.

Countdown to extinction has to be the best they’ve ever written imo. Almost every song is a masterpiece. Yes it’s different to their other material but I don’t think it’s necessarily about “sticking to your guns” for an album to be great. I also think that if you liked that album, you’d also like some of youthanasia because that album is like an unspoken carrying on of ext. and is very unique as well. Maybe I like the album a bit more since as a guitarist, the riffs are quite sophisticated and yet so cool to hear at the same time.

If you ask me personally - United Abominations is highly underrated. The composition is very good. It's got a great mix of melody and riffing which I love. It's just a shame that Megadeth's later good albums always get compared to the early legacy of the analog recordings and I just don't think that's fair. Some people will never get over the lost of Ellefson or Friedman or Nick Menza. Because people lack of adaption to modern production and the fact that Dave and the members are getting older, they don't have the energy to play 190 BPM like they use to at extreme speeds. And Kiko is a great guitarist and composer. I love the Angra stuff more than Megadeth because I love that power metal sound and style. So I like the later Megadeth stuff. Minus Supercollider and 2/3s of Thirteen. Otherwise it's all great stuff. That's the more modern Megadeth style I love. It's just a shame majority of the fans aren't open minded like that.

I was the same with countdown, but it grew on me and definitely noticed some songs that were probably made during rust in peace

I was wondering what was going on with the dislikes on this one and then I saw your Youthanasia placement. Yikes. Some of Marty's best work on this one and probably Dave's best vocals along with Cryptic Writings. And you thought your countdown placement was going to be controversial. I still respect you throwing your opinion out there. I also think Risk gets shit on way more than it should. S: Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?, Rust in Peace, Endgame, Youthanasia A: The System Has Failed, Killing is My Business, Cryptic Writings B: The Sick The Dying… and The Dead!, Dystopia C+: United Abominations, Countdown to Extinction, So Far So Good… So What! C: The rest Super Collider tier: Super Collider Most of their discography is hit or miss, but the only album I would actively change if it started playing is Super Collider.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more of these where that came from.

S tier - Peace Sells and Rust A tier - KIMB, SFSGSW, Dystopia B tier - Countdown, Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings, System And then everything else. Personally I love the sound of Peace Sells. One of the best productions I think and it's got a great balance of technicality and that raw aggression. It's a consistent album with all the songs being similar in dark topics. It's full of catchy jazzy riffs that are all very memorable. It's my favorite album of all time depending on the day. I think it's a perfect album and yes I even listen to "I ain't Superstitious" just as much as the others. And of course that Ed Repka artwork is just the cherry on top. I love Rust too of course, but the deep cuts aren't as memorable and I don't like the production as much as the heavy low end of Peace Sells.

Youthanasia is a really good album. the opening track reckoning day is killer, a toute le monde is one of their best songs ever. (the entire crowd at their concerts sing along to it everytime) Family tree is a banger. I could on. Not a traditional thrash album, but its uniquely Megadeth.(if that makes sense) I agree with the list mostly except for that album. Should be A list

Dread and The fugitive Mind makes the purchase worthwhile. System has failed was a middle of the road album but it served its purpose to show what was to come. United abominations is the mother f***** of a comeback we were waiting for since risk. He released a bunch of decent albums from there on out with endgame and dystopia being the highlights after abominations. Now we've got this new one which is great so far.

(4:09) "its not pure length its what you do with it" good call my guy

List as a longtime fan. Not in order. S. KIMB. Peace Sells. RIP. A. Endgame. Dystopia. United Abominations. B. CtE. Youthanasia. TWNAH. TSHF. C. SFSGSW. Thirteen. D. CW. F. Risk. Super Collider.

Agree with some, especially Risk and later although I'd rate United Abominations higher. So Far So Good So What remains a masterpiece, and Youthanasia deserves way, way more than D tier. Also Cryptic Writings deserves less than B.

This list kind of conflicts with mine, but I appreciate it nonetheless

A year late, but I want to give a few thoughts: - I understand why you're not that big a fan of Youthanasia. They doubled down on the sonic & writing shift starting with C2E; Not everyone's cup of tea for sure, but the writing is so much stronger than on Cryptic or Risk. - Faster does not mean better. I get the ferocity of KIMB, but there's no universe where its writing surpasses KEA. Dave wrote a lot of those riffs anyway, so it's not even a Megadeth/Metallica discussion, it's just a "look how angrier I am" record with worse lyrics & vocals that can't stand up to James (although Dave sounded good here).

"It's not just pure length, it's what you do with it." That's what she said.

Good rating, but I completely disagree with placement for Youthnasia. This is one of the best albums for me.

IMO the new one is more fun.

Funny that you mention a lot of the songs I find interesting, although sometimes for a different reason. IMO, off the first album, KIMBABIG, Loved to Deth is tolerable and Looking Down the Cross is an S tier raw masterpiece, but the rest is F tier trash. Would agree with the album's overall rank. I would put Peace Sells at S tier, although slightly below Rust. I think aside from Wake up Dead, which I consider a party song, and Bad Omen, everything is enjoyable. Conjuring would be my pick for best song on the album, along with Peace Sells, the title track, even though they are very different. This is the raw, punky album with lots of energy that shows a lot of talent. Rust in Peace - no arguments there. Interesting that you also mention Poison Was the Cure. It is one of my absolute favorites, but not many people like it a lot. The solo is really beautiful when you break it down, and the part with lyrics is a very powerful expression of dangerous depression musically in my opinion, even though it's about drug addiction. Solo in Tornado of Souls: perfection. This album is the accidental masterpiece in my opinion. It doesn't represent the most mature state of the songwriter. Instead, it is the height of his pure talent that he will never able to grasp again when he reaches his most mature state. SFSGSW: In My Darkest Hour is not the best-written song ever, but it has such interesting parts that I really enjoy it and consider it one of their best songs. Mary Jane (I believe it was on that album too) is interesting. I don't care about the rest at all. Countdown has, in my opinion, the artistic touch of a very mature musician and songwriter, which elevates it for me to the same level as the raw Peace Sells, the genious-spark-lit Rust in Peace. A lot of the songs do suffer in terms of technical creativity, but the songwriting just creates a lot of groove, concept and melody. Symphony is incredibly overplayed, but is in fact a good song. The solo in Skin O' My Teeth is incredible in my opinion. I really enjoy the very light High Speed Dirt. Yes, it is mostly light rock. You can compare it to other things from the era, like Alice in Chains. However, I think actual light rock in the ninties sucks, and Countdown is what it should been in the first place. Now about most of the other albums, I don't give a dime. I have listened to every album, not all in full, because I sometimes lost interest. I'll mention a few that are remotely interesting to me. Cryptic Writings: I'm on the side of those enjoying it. It is light rock, just like most of Countdown, but overall interesting. Surprisingly, less fine than Countdown, despite Dave having more experience. I attribute this to the rocky shift in styles that defined the metal scene at that time. Also not as interesting technically as Countdown. I do like Vortex, and especially Use the Man, which not a lot of people do. From The System Has Failed, I like Tears in a Vial. That's it. Nothing else is even remotely interesting to me from that or other albums. Funnily, I get a Joe Cocker vibe from that song. I listened to chapters 1-3 of the latest album. Chapter I. not only has the feeling of their old albums, it literally has their complete rehashed melody, since it is a ten times worse version of Black Friday. Extremely boring, very monotone, but the instrumentation is not as bad as 70% of their songs. Chapter II. is crap in its entirety, even worse than I. Chapter III. is nice! The songwriting does seem formula-based and forced though, but it is varied and I think some riffs are incredibly interesting. The "yeah, yeah, yeah" part is also some nice, enjoyable light rock. This album is probably the writer's effort to use all of his experience and vast intellectual wealth to recapture the height of his talent. As expected, he does not succeed, as the approach itself is mistaken.

Countdown to extinction in C tier is crazy

While I spat out my drink a couple times on your placements,I enjoyed the video and content. Blind guardian tier? Now is better time than ever to give the full discography a chance

I agree. I feel like he’s not much of a Megadeth fan. I’m a huge one so my ranking might be skewed but nothing like this is

14:52 dystopia! Thanks for also rating conquer or die. That’s my favorite song of that record.

What app is he using to rank the Megadeth Albums?

killing is my business IMO is the angriest thrash album out there It was literally written in pent up anger and hatred

The last few albums have been suprisingly good, dystopia kindof blew my mind considering daves afe and so on. He puts out what he wants to put outand i respect that,evenif its risk lol.

The System Has Failed is one of my favorites. I remember listening to it on repeat as a kid while playing San Andreas when tired of Radio X. It's maybe a little too polished for thrash, but it's really enjoyable, really solid album.

Love it a lot. Truth be told

For me, I only listen to the first 5 albums. S: Peace Sells & Rust in Peace A: So Far... B: Killing is my Biz C: Countdown to Extinction

👍🏻 I think that The system has failed is a very underrated album, 😊

So Far, So Good, So What is highly underrated IMO. I think it gets overlooked because the it's sandwiched between the two classics of Peace Sells and Rust in Peace.

I honestly question if you have even listened to these albums all the way through. Please give them another listen. Youthanasia is amazing. If you like Cryptic Writings, you will love Youthanasia. It is their most melodic album. 13 is an excellent album and a bit underrated, same with United Abominations. Risk is the weakest album by a wide margin. Super Collider is not good, but "Forget to Remember" is an amazing track. My ratings: Killing Is My Business - B (solid debut, but I don't find myself listening to it much) Peace Sells - B (Weak overall, but amazing title track) So Far, So Good - B (Weak overall, but In My Darkest Hour is one of the best metal tracks ever) Rust In Peace - A Countdown - A Youthanasia - A Cryptic Writings - A Risk - F The World Needs a Hero - C The System Has Failed - B United Abominations - A Endgame - A Thirteen - B Super Collider - D Dystopia - A The Sick, the Dying..and the Dead - I haven't listened to it enough for a fair opinion. Yes, there are lots of As on this list - but that is because Megadeth is just that consistently good.

Of course I listened to them all the way through. Many of them several times. It’s so unfortunate that when faced with differing opinions people are so quick to assume some sort of “mistake” to rationalize it. Poll a room of 100 people and they will all have different opinions. Lots of people in here love Youthanasia, but there are also many who don’t. Just how it goes 🤷🏻‍♂️

for me 3 S: rust in peace, countdown, and peace sells. A's: So farm, so Good, the others... i dont care so much, youtanasia still has very moments and crypin writins too

Respect your opinion and agree with a lot of it (I love Youthanasia though), but I just listened to most of The Sick, The Dying...And the Death! And it seems to me like a really strong album with no filler. All of the songs are pretty thrashy and the song structures very good too. It's like a more mature take on Rust in Peace and definitely stronger than any of the recent albums. I just can't see why you'd Dystopia put higher than it, but again, it's my opinion.

I think you are crazy on youthanasia. but it is what it is.

Everyone's love for their albums are going to be different.Everyones ranking of them will be different. With that being said I love all of Megadeth's discography. In my opinion nothing is bad. I think Dave Mustaines journey as a musician, and songwriter has been brilliant. On a side note...all the hate for Supercollider is ridiculous. It's a great album. As is every album each in their own ways.

It's all subjective for sure. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying.

Did you rate these with the originals or the remasters for reference? I feel that the remastered albums (apart from Killing is my business) really spoiled the listening experience..and removed so much of the beauty from 'so far so good.., Youth and Countdown' in particular. I can't even listen to those remasters,, and sadly, they're the only versions that you'll find on Spotify etc.. I'd like to think that if you rated the original mixes,,,those 3 albums would be way higher up the list than 'Risk' 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
