    For only being a "casual fan", I really appreciate your honest opinions and attention to details for each song on every album. I hold a similar view on the vast majority of your opinions & takes, and our rankings actually are not too far off fromone another.
    I did a full listenthrough of the MegaDave/deth discography last quarter of 2023 (also extensively scored via specific criteria for an album-ranking list), and to my surprise you are the only other fan (non-writer) to rank 'Emdgame in the 'top 3"! Credit to you, brotha, for keeping this half-hour-long review interesting and fun at times with your humor & musical ability for quick demonstrations.
    Since I made my album ranking between 7-10 months ago, my opinion on all the albums, which I frequently alternate listening to CDs, all my opinions on the songs have remained the same, save for a few songs: "These boots" (cover), "Take no prisoners", "Skin of my teeth", and "Never walk alone... A call to arms". Each of these songs I've grown to like more- only on the context of listening to them alone, as opposed to a full-disc playthrough like I did for all the albums. That said, a few of these songs sre now on my "favorites" list to listen through which means you could add a percentage point, or so, to some albums on my list. At a very close rate, here's my scoring/ Star - grading scale out of 4 ⭐'s.
    MegaDave/deth albums ranked:
    1) ENDGAME: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (91%)
    2) KILL 'EM ALL: ⭐⭐⭐+ (88%)
    3) RUST IN PEACE: ⭐⭐⭐+ (83%)

    5) PEACE SELLS... BUT WHO'S BUYING?: ⭐⭐⭐ (77%)
    6) KILLING IS MY BUSINESS... AND BUSINESS IS GOOD! (Remix Album): ⭐⭐⭐ (77%)

    8) THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO: ⭐⭐⭐ (73%)
    9) CRYPTIC WRITINGS: ⭐⭐⭐ (71%)
    10) THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED: ⭐⭐⭐ (71%)

    12) SO FAR, SO GOOD... SO WHAT! : ⭐⭐+ (66%)
    13) YOUTHANASIA: ⭐⭐+ (65%)
    14) THIRTEEN (2011): ⭐⭐+ (64%)

    I have the opposite view on Countdown and Youthanasia. I 've never been a fan of these talking songs, while Youthanasia works just fine for me. I love the opening, ballad, Killing Road. Great stuff.
    Countdown I used to rank at the bottom.
    Endgame - fine album but there is nothing special for me.
    But Dystopia...oh man! I actually never much liked the band... because of Countdown . But I heard Dystopia and decided to give Dave another try. Thanks to this album I became a fan. i don't even hate Countdown now 😅
    I am yet to be convinced by the new album.
