    Question Mr Boulder, what were your thoughts about 'The World Needs A Hero back in the day (2001)? You've mentioned that you've seen them live on that tour. From what I hear this record is basically a gap filler for you which is absolutely fine, I respect your opinion of course! 🙂👍
    For me this was the comeback of Megadeth. Rattlehead returned on the artwork, riffs that reminded me of oldschool Megadeth, new line-up which led to unique ideas. It blew me away back in 01 after the dissapointing 'Risk... I'm glad the band returned to their roots 🤘

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  10 місяців тому +1

      It was certainly an improvement on Risk. I just found it to be a dull record. There wasn't much variation in the Tempo of the songs and I found the riffs to be quite generic for a Megadeth record. Yeah I saw them in July 2001 with AC/DC, The Offspring and Queens of The Stone Age, was a great gig

    Interesting stuff James, lol I had a wee laugh when you held up Risk first as that one was kind of midway in mine.
    I was surprised (and quite pleased) to see Countdown didn’t even make your top 3 as I was expecting that to be your number 1 actually as almost everyone I know rates that as their fav for some reason. If you recall that was bottom of the pile for me. 😆
    There are about 4 I don’t own so I obviously I can’t place them but 13 is one of them and you rated that pretty good.
    I really enjoy Endgame too.

But one area I wanna chit chat about is how you have The System Has Failed ahead of Youthanasia. I think you should re-consider n' hear my point of view of how Youthanasia should be higher than System. I agree with your number one btw. A perfect album.
    Youthanasia has a mood captured from opening to end. It's an album. The songwriting is purposeful and poignant. Dave's vocals are a beautiful blend of fire and melody.
    Sysyem is a collection of songs. It's disjointed and scattered. For obvious reason too as Dave was coming off an injury, then realized he owed another Megadeth record to fulfill his contract. Thus, his solo career on hold. His life was scattered and you can hear it. The thrashy bits of System seem forced and the softer/melodic writing is dated. He can't focus and System suffers for it.
    System is Dave turning the ship back to the thrash metal roots that serves the band. No knock on that, do what'cha do, it's a biz. But it can be artistically flawed. It's dangerous to go back to familiar ground and not repeat what you've done. Just look at Iron Maiden.
    The mix of System is bloated. The mixes of the early 00's overall has a lot of bottom end. It smothers The bass into a sludge and I think System's mix fell prey to that. Just like the entire remixed Megadeth discography. Ugh, what a tragedy that was. Except for the debut. I agree with you there! That WAS necessary. We can really hear Gar!
    The original mix of Youthanasia has everything where it should be. It breathes. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
    The songwriting on System is overall juvenile and not very interesting. Ex. Tears in a Vial, Something I'm Not, Die Dead Enough.
    The album cover of System plays it too safe. It's just a look back to the Peace Sells cover. But way worse. So uninspiring with poor execution.
    Youthanasia's cover (and overall art direction) is unique and thought provoking. It stands out and it sets the tone that matches the music within.
    Long story boring, Everything with Youthanasia is on brand and Megadeth is still growing in this era. They're still fighting. You can hear it.
    The System Has Failed sounds like Dave's over compensating. He caught some flak for Risk and The World Needs a Hero and it's like he's trying to make-up for it.
    Just because you play fast, sing dark lyrics, and shred a bevy of solos, doesn't make it good. It can be a fun listen, sure. But it's empty calories in the end.
    Maybe reconsider where you have these two albums on yer list.
    Personally, I like Youthanasia better than Countdown... but that's my list for another time.
    Fun stuff, man! Can't wait to see more!

      @holspa metal Super Collider is so BAD it would need to improve twofold before it's s**t

    Why do you own these semi-bad Megadeth albums especially on vinyl?

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  7 місяців тому +1

      Because I'm a collector, that's the only reason really

    I don't dislike any of there albums. For me instead of worst to best its least best to best. I can't say that about metallica.

      I think Risk and The World Needs A Hero are not great at all but yes Metallica also have some stinkers in their discography. Cheers for watching

    Excellent ranking, though I’m not as big on post-injury Megadeth as you are. My ranking best to worst (with The Sick, The Dying And The Dead);
    Rust In Peace
    Youthanasia
    Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?
    Countdown To Extinction
    Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good!
    Super Collider
    The System Has Failed
    Risk
    Dystopia
    Thirteen
    Endgame
    So Far, So Good…So What!
    Cryptic Writings
    United Abominations
    The Sick, The Dying And The Dead
    The World Needs A Hero

      @@mrboulder9714 Thanks for your vids. You’ve got a different perspective from Pete at Sea Of Tranquility which creates a great balance for me. Awesome stuff dude (sorry, I’m Canadian).

    Super Collider is the only album from Megadeth that I actively dislike. It is just such an uninspired piece of trash. Risk legit has some good songs and at least they were trying something new.
