I never really got into this album much but The Threat Is Real is cool

Album Rating: 4.0

From what I’ve heard, the Sick the Dying thrash's like a bitch but won’t have the song quality as this one

Album Rating: 4.0

Album Rating: 2.0

If you cut Bullet to the Brain, that unnecessary instrumental, and The Emperor, and just kept this to one continuous savage piece of political commentary, this could have been so much better. Still a solid listen, but nothing special unfortunately

Album Rating: 3.5

Overall, this is pretty strong, especially the first half. Better than a whole slew of previous albums.

Album Rating: 3.5

Agreed. Fairly solid Megadeth album

Album Rating: 4.0

Completely underrated on this site

Album Rating: 3.0

I like this one for some reason, it's full strength Mustaine so: conspiracy theories, politics, almost a concept album, ridiculous cover art, sense of mania in the intense tracks

Album Rating: 4.0

Full strength Mustaine is a great way to put it doof. I think the songs are strong Megadeth, certainly this century Megadeth. Everything about it the guitars, the Adler drumming, Dave’s favorite subjects.

Songs like Poisonous Shadows, Threat is Real, Lying in State, Death From Within, Fatal Illusion are razor sharp

Album Rating: 3.0

Megadeth ranking (don't think I've tried them all):



1. Rust in Peace (4.5)

2. Peace Sells (4)

3. Countdown (3.5)

4. Killing is My Business (3.5)

5. Youthanasia (3)

6. So Far, So Good (3) [some of this is really good, some pretty bad, could rank lower tbh)

7. System Has Failed (3)

8. Dystopia (3)

9. Endgame (3)

10. Sick, Dying, Dead (3) [haven't revisited much, might be a 2.5]

11. United Abominations (2.5)

12. Cryptic Writings (2.5)

13. Thirteen (2.5) [like a compilation really, some good, some weak]

14. Risk (2.5) [well, it is different]

15. Super Collider (1.5) [not much to salvage but also I didn't think it was a 0.5-1 rating]



For me a 3.5 equals 'excellent' and a 3 equals 'genuinely actually good' - but peeps could add a .5 to my ratings here really to fit the rating descriptions (4 equals 'excellent' according to sput etc)

Album Rating: 4.0

Woah that’s almost identical to my ranking on the band’s discog I did the year before last

Album Rating: 3.0

Nice!

Album Rating: 4.0

They’re in my top 10 bands, countless listens in my life

Album Rating: 3.0

first three songs are really solid, and "lying in state" is probably my favorite song here. but the rest is just the band going through the motions, albeit very tight and well-played motions. this is definetly one of megadeth's heaviest releases.
