^Indeed.
Post-injury Megadeth:
System
Abominations
Endgame

I agree. The main reason I'm quoting, however, is because I like how you classified those 3 albums. hahah

Yeah man, because Megadeth is Dave Mustaine nowadays and so there you go. Post-injury Megadeth!

Watching Dave trying to sing live is painful.

I think I've fallen in love with Megadeth again. Spinning Youthanasia tonight.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #884 on:** February 28, 2011, 07:51:52 PM »

One of my favourite albums to play along to. Did so yesterday. Was most rewarding.

You can only ignore Dave so long before it comes again: your Reckoning Day!

Just got a massive haul of 'deth bootlegs from 85-92. At their prime they were freaking untouchable.

I've played Youthanasia yesterday, so many golden tracks. I love how melodic it is, although Cryptic writings is the one I enjoy more - those tunes are just too perfect.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #888 on:** March 01, 2011, 11:42:07 AM »

I'll Get Even and Sin let down Cryptic Writings for me. But I love the rest of it. Youthanasia is still the best them.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #889 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:17:11 PM »

Cryptic Writings is pretty weak for me. It's not that the songs are bad, they're mostly just boring. I'd say it's my least favorite Megadeth album.

contest_sanity · « **Reply #890 on:** March 01, 2011, 10:07:52 PM »

I love CW. First album to come out after I had become a fan of the band.

But Countdown is the best them!

Sorry bud. Had to.

Seriously, I love Peace Sells, Rust, and Countdown. They're all pretty much "FUCKIN A!"

. I know many people will mention Countdown as the best or their favourite.
Considering I have new headphones, I wouldn't mind giving Countdown a listen to hear how it sounds. Maybe the remix album, we'll see.

contest_sanity · « **Reply #894 on:** March 01, 2011, 10:40:56 PM »

Likewise, if someone were to ask me for the pinnacle of thrash metal perfection, I'd give them RIP. Countdown is just my personal favorite. The music is still great (though getting a little more commercial and less technical), but it was really the rise in quality of both Dave's lyrics and vocals that makes it their marquee album for me.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #895 on:** March 02, 2011, 04:55:59 AM »

I have now come to the conclusion that This Day We Fight is a perfect thrash song.

Same here, except the Countdown part. I recognize RIP as their best, and it is my 2nd fave, but my personal fave actually goes to SFSGSW.

bosk1 · « **Reply #897 on:** March 03, 2011, 03:07:19 PM »

I'll give RIP the "best" award as well. But Countdown, Youthanasia, and Risk are all VERY close behind.

Gave Countdown a spin yesterday, like I said I was gonna, and it sounded really good. The remix ain't so bad after all.

The remix is horrible compared to the original.

I've heard a lot of people say this about the Megadeth remixes. I've only heard the original version of Rust in Peace and to be perfectly honest, I didn't really notice a huge difference. Now mind you, this was about six years ago when I barely knew anything about music, but still. What is it that makes the remixes so bad?

Zook · « **Reply #903 on:** March 04, 2011, 08:37:24 AM »

The guitars for one sound like utter shit. I don't know if it's the compression, but the new tone sounds awful to me. Maybe I'm just used to the tinny sounding production.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #904 on:** March 04, 2011, 01:26:49 PM »

The remixes aren't bad. It's just that when you know and love an album the way it is, and you don't necessarily want a re-release, sometimes the changes can be jarring. I personally miss the intro of Insomnia.

They took out the intro to Insomnia on the remix? Really?

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #906 on:** March 04, 2011, 04:04:54 PM »

Yeah. It goes right into the main riff. That cool violin intro is completely gone.

Mave · « **Reply #907 on:** March 04, 2011, 06:38:30 PM »

The remix of Use the Man also does not have the song Needles and Pins at the beginning.

I think the remix of RIP is awesome. It really beefed up the songs and they sound much better that way IMO.

I'll agree that the mix sounds a lot heavier than the original. But, in remastering it, they've also ruined a lot of the things that made it awesome in the first place. Examples that immediately spring to mind are;

1. The crappy vocal takes used in Lucretia that make Dave sound like that short, fat dude from Police Academy.

2. The replacement of Dave Ellefson's bass tapping break in Take No Prisoners with a crappy, tinny sounding clean guitar line.

3. The changes in vocals on Five Magics. The lyrics are messed around with and the 'possessed with hellish torment' echoes just sound retarded.

I swapped my original copy with a friend for the remaster back in high school; worst. trade. ever. Luckily the original is available on itunes, I just got that and my love for the album has been rekindled.
