The Right To Go Insane and How The Story Ends are two of the most overlooked Megadeth songs. Great album all around.

I think the strength of Endgame comes in the sheer consistency across the whole album.  I think with most Megadeth albums for me anyway, they all come out of the gates pretty strong but struggle to maintain that level of consistency til the end.  I feel Endgame is pretty much a very strong album from start to finish.

Other than "The Hardest Part of Letting Go...Sealed With a Kiss," I agree. And I'd say without that song, it's probably my favorite Megadeth album, post-Countdown.

Sounds like I need to give Endgame another spin sometime.  I remember it having a few cool tracks, but when it came out I wasn't in the mood for it, and the time or two I've listened since then I don't remember being particularly compelled by it, but sometimes things take more plays to sink in.

I know you hate that song, but I like it. On it's own, the beginning could be considered cringey (I don't feel that way) but it develops nicely.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I've tried, Tim. I just despise that track. LOL. I took it off my iPod completely so the album doesn't have it. LOL. When I listen to the CD, I can't hit skip fast enough.

Interesting.  Never had an issue with it myself, I too think it builds nicely.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Musically, it's fine. It's Dave's whining.
