A bad album from a bad era of Megadeth...But Megadeth's bad era is still much better than the bad era of Metallica

For me the best Megadeth album...not for stupid metal heads. As always...something musical good without noise is bad:) The same is with 'load' and 'reload' from Metallica - their best albums but stupid metal heads prefer the same guitar boring things all the time?

I dunno why the album is so low on rating...???Yes, Mustaine wanted to sell out and he wanted a no. 1 seller album but wat the hell has that got to do with the music?? The music is Great . sure, its not that fast thrash Megadeth but it it still has some great songwriting, great solos, and hell, the vocals are top notch in this album. For the lyrics, Mustaine gave up his political statements for a while and tried some things more personal. All the ones dissing this album have either not heard it or are just 'tru-metalhead' posers who will just sit in their fuckin well and will not appreciate anything new. This was a great record in my opinion.

Written by dave.deviant on 08.12.2011 at 15:28 This was a great album, and would surely sell if not for the name 'Megadeth' on it and mind you,.. Dave Mustaine has never made crap music. NEVER.:)
Your first sentence looks like you meant to say "wouldn't sell if not for the name Megadeth", then backspaced, kludged and forgot to fix the rest.
Also, the woooorld neeeeds a heeewooo...

If that's the case I would gladly label myself close minded. I know everyone has their own opinions but I cant see why anyone would like this album tbh, It just sounds like a shitty attempt to emulate 90's Metallica which was never great to begin with.

Agreed. It's not like I go in listening to a new album thinking "I really hope this sucks. I hope I waste my time listening to it. I hope there are absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever." No. I go in thinking "I haven't heard this before. Maybe it'll be my new favorite album. Who knows, maybe I've uncovered a masterpiece. Or maybe it's just something I can come back to later if I like it."
I am as open-minded as I can be when it comes to music. It's the only area in my life where I'm optimistic. But regardless of my approach, albums like Risk just don't do anything for me.

Indeed, I would consider myself open minded about music and willing to give anything a try regardless of what people say about it, But the Majority's opinion is right on with this one.
Keep listening man.

The first megadeth dissapointment. Its as weak as St. anger but the war between megadeth and metallica is getting childish anyway.

Not as bad as some people stay, but still bland and boring. As some people have said, I'd expect this from a glam band or something, not from Megadeth.

Actually this is a good album. Commercial moments are many, but it isn't bad. The songs are very well arranged and Marty played more than admirably.

I didn't say it was bad, I just said it was not good. Kinda average stuff. Not something I'd spend money on, but I'm not bothered if anyone else likes this album.

You gotta be a douche about it? Metalheads are not stupid we just don't like bull crap albums, and this definitely is a bull crap album.

I am not a hater, I am not a fan boy, but somehow I like when haters hate, specially here, because this is shit!
Few songs has small parts what were good, but well there is nothing. I hated then, hate now. I have listen 3 times this in full and seems this will be last one. Simply rubbish.

This is bad, this is really, really bad album. Risk must have been the first Megadeth album I ever heard back in the late 90's and even then I hated it, not just one or two songs here and there but all of them, every single one. I remember feeling very confused because I knew they were supposed to a huge band but their music sounded like total garbage to me. Luckily the copy I had also had another disc with some of their better songs from Rust in Peace, Peace Sells and Countdown, so at least there was something worth listening to.
They knew it was bad.

Regardless of the rest of the album, Prince of Darkness is amazing and definitely one of my favourite Megadeth songs

Not your typical Megadeth album to be expected, I had low views on this in my youth but having revisited it recently I find this a very authentic piece of work. So to the folks who still shame this album, wake up.
By the way, Crush 'em is a killar track.
