    Definetly their most underappreciated song is My Last Words from Peace Sells. Near perfect solo, incredible bass hooks. Just such a good song, and great song to finish off the album.

      I agree. It's definitely a "great" song as opposed to "good", "decent", "bad", or "horrible" (skip-every-time).
      "Mastermind is one of the 3 best songs on 'Cryptic Writings' along with "Sin" & "Disintegrators".

    Sweating bullets is my favorite Megadeth song. I mean it's your list, so you can put whatever you want in it but I really don't get why you put Sweating Bullets at last, it's such a banger. The verses when he talks are heavy af, the chorus that slightly changes every time is sick, the overall atmosphere is very catchy, the tempo change in the middle hits hard and the solo is actually great. Oh and the music video is absolutely a masterpiece, because what's better than seeing Dave Mustaine play? Seeing 18 Daves, of course! So yeah... I think it is an absolute banger and "Hello me, meet the real me!" never gets old. Love you! Your videos are great! Keep uploading!

    Fuck yeah, Five Magics is my favourite too. IMO it rivals the ToS solo, the way it blends with the intensity of the drums and rhythm guitar, the triple bass gallops on the kick drum... arguably one of the best riffs on the whole album

    • @Rude_i_Wredne
      @Rude_i_Wredne 25 днів тому

      Btw my opinion:
      KIMBaBIG:
      rating: 7.5/10, a really solid debut, also probably the most consistent record they've made thus far.
      most known: I agree.
      best: "Rattlehead", by a long shot. Insane riffage, one of the best megadeth solos, some iconic lyrics ("just make it fast, loud and rude") and an unstoppable energy from the very start to the very end.
      worst: "Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!", although I like all of the songs on that album and "These Boots" ain't that much better.
      PSbWB:
      rating: 8.5/10, their clear second best, songwriting and production quality improved significally from their debut album, although there is still some filler. 8.5/10 is still a very high score, but there are albums I like way more.
      most known: I agree.
      best: "Wake Up Dead", I absolutely love the riffs (the final one is impossible not to headbang to) and proggressive influences. However "My Last Words" is definitelly deserving a shoutout as well.
      worst: "Bad Omen", although once again, all songs here are at least fine and your choice still is very understandable.
      SFSGSW:
      rating: 5.5/10, There is a lot of value on that album, but it's sadly covered in drug-induced mess.
      most known: I agree.
      best: "In My Darkest Hour". Don't get me wrong, "Hook In Mouth" is a clear second, but this ballad is just a masterpiece and emotional rollercoaster.
      worst: "502". Here I'd say it's actually bad.
      RiP:
      rating: 10/10, a masterpiece from the start to the finish and the best metal album in history.
      most known: "Tornado of Souls", I feel like the solo is bigger than the album itself in the eyes of the mainstream.
      best: "Holy Wars... the Punishment Due", although "Poison Was The Cure" is a hidden gem.
      worst: "Take No Prisoners", honestly the only song from that album I'm not crazy about. It's still decent, but it lacks compared to the rest.
      CtE:
      rating: 7/10, overrated and awkward at times, but still overall very enjoyable, with a lot of great moments.
      most known: I agree
      best: "Symphony of Destruction", but by a narrow margin. I very much like the "Foreclosure of a Dream".
      worst: "Captive Honour"? It's hard to decide, as once again there aren't really "bad" songs on this record.
      Youthanasia:
      rating: 7.5/10, a bit underrated, but I'm glad it's catching a second wind in the Megadeth fanbase. This album is imo what CtE tried to be, but came a bit short.
      most known: I agree
      best: "A Tout Le Monde" still, but "Victory" sure as hell deserves a shoutout.
      worst: "Black Curtains", not terrible, but a pretty mediocre filler.
      Cryptic Writings:
      rating: 5/10, it's just mid.
      most known: I agree
      best: "Trust", although "She Wolf" is a clear second.
      worst: I don't like this album enough to listen to it on a regular basis, so I don't have an opinion.
      Risk:
      rating: 3/10, I applaud experiments and for that I bump it up a point (in terms of the personal preferences, it's closer to 2-2.5), but that one was a clear miss. Not only Megadeth doesn't sound good in the industrial rock genre, the songs themselves are really bad too.
      most known: I agree
      best: "Insomnia", probably? I mean, I'm not that fond of any of the songs here.
      worst: same as Cryptic Writings
      TWNaH:
      rating: 3/10, It's more listenable than its predecessor, but it's also just so unimaginative and forced. Being boring and not good enough to just run in the background as Cryptic Writings, earns it the bottom place on my list.
      most known: "Dread and Fugitive Mind". That one was on the 2005 greatest hits compilation, which is probably their most popular compilation album and I think that amounts to something.
      best: I don't even know, this album is so damn bland.
      worst: same as Cryptic Writings
      TSHF:
      rating: 8/10, probably the most underrated of their records. This was the true return of the good Megadeth, after their 90s arc of radiofriendlization. Apart from the last two songs, this record is amazing and a worthy successor to their first 6 albums, yet having it's own vibe.
      most known: I agree
      best: I agree, glad to see other people recommending this absolute gem of a song. "Kick The Chair" is also notable.
      worst: "My Kingdom", "Shadow of Death" is bad too, but at least it has a good riff at the end. This is just a very weak song and I wish the album ended on "Of Mice And Men".
      UA:
      rating: 4.5, I didn't like that one in general, chuggy fillers are not my thing, but it still has some moments.
      most known: I agree
      best: I agree, probably the only song from that record I really like.
      worst: funny enough, I agree. I don't listen to this record often, but that one stands out as a really bad one, even in proximity of other songs I feel are pretty weak.
      Endgame:
      rating: 6/10, I feel like it's overrated. Sure, it's probably the heaviest, but heavy doesn't mean good songwriting. It's overall decent, but apart from some highlights, really repetitive.
      most known: I agree
      best: "Dialectic Chaos". That one actually lived up to it's "reminiscing of the RiP era" reputation. Maybe it's the fact that it's basically a one big solo and Mustaine's deteriorating vocals or chuggy riff guitar tones don't really impact that part that much.
      worst: "Bodies", not like terrible, but definitelly boring.
      Th1rt3en:
      rating: 7/10, It's a very enjoyable record although a finger-wagging at Mustaine for basically relying on the old material.
      most known: "Sudden Death", it's just too iconic in the Guitar Hero community.
      best: "Sudden Death" by far, it's my second favorite Megadeth song after the "Holy Wars... the Punishment Due". Guitar work here is literally inhuman and Mustaine somehow finds a way to fit his voice in a really nice way. Out of the new material, "13" is the best one, but it's behind the four "old" songs.
      worst: "Fast Lane", I find it's main riff really annoying and Mustaine's vocals do not help.
      Super Collider:
      rating: 3.5/10, it's just a more competent Risk. However more competent also means boring.
      most known: "Super Collider", the title track and the main promotional single, one of the most radio-friendly things Megadeth has ever done.
      best: "Kingmaker", a tiny bit of value here.
      worst: same as Cryptic Writings
      Dystopia:
      rating: 6/10, probably their most inconsistent record since SFSGSW. Some songs are brilliant, other absolutely horrendous.
      most known: I agree, gg on the Grammy Dave!
      best: "Fatal Illusion", a brilliant bass line and energy that reminds me of "Rust In Peace... Polaris"
      worst: "Foreign Policy", I just can't stand Mustaine's vocals here and the rest doesn't sound that much better here.
      TSTDaTD:
      rating: 6.5/10, I fluctuated on this a lot as of recent and I could see myself rating it even as high as 7.5 and that's because it's probably the best album since TSHF to just turn off your brain to. However paying close attention, there are many awkward moments.
      most known: I agree
      best: "Soldier On", as heavy as Endgame and with a chorus so catchy, it could easily be on Youthanasia.
      worst: "Junkie", that song feels like it has a stutter. Just doesn't flow at all.

Just hits the mark for all eras of megadeth and killing time is my favorite megadeth song of all time so for me that’s the best album.

Production also isn't bad, say that to Dystopia, with a heavily distorded and loud album, with no dynamics at all (except for a few songs), and not even taking some of the laziest writings in a Megadeth album (at least, in my opinion. You cannot say to me that Dystopia is unpar with Rust In Peace or any other thrash album with a straight face).
