Risk was the first Megadeth i listen to. Thats why i dont like them.
lol. Well, just try their album "Rust In Peace." If you're into creative riffs and innovative Lyrisism, then it's a great MD album. The best imo.

Though I do think "Endgame" was rushed in places, it's really between "Risk" and "The World Needs A Hero". Seeing as they are the only albums that contain filler tracks. It's tough, but I'm gonna go with "The World....", because it contains my least liked Megadeth track "Losing My Senses", and the blatant "Am I Evil" rip-off of "When"!

I dunno...it is a great song. I especially love Al Pitrelli's solo on it!
"1000 Times Goodbye" is nearly ruined by that awful female telephone voice which features in most of the song. Shame, as I love the song, but....uggh!

1 - Risk gets my vote, Risk copes a lot more flak than it really deserves there are decent songs on it and it did have some potential, but it just didn't sound like Megadeth. If you had put Pearl Jam on the cover maybe it wouldn't have got quite as harsh a wrap as it has got.
2 - Cryptic Writings was an ok album, some good work and some really crap work
3 - The World Needs a Hero would be a close third worst, this album just shits me to tears, there is some good signs of life and some decent tracks but the production and the style just anoy me.
TSHF - I consider this amogst their best albums, it is full of life and the Mustaine attitude. This albums sums up Megadeth.
Unided Abominations - I consider this one of Megadeths quality albums, not their best but definitely a very good album with some new classics.

Risk and The World Needs a Hero are the worst. I'd go for Risk it is just....bad imo a few good songs but mostly crap, atleast The World Needs a Hero has decent songs on it.

Insomnia is a total fucking tune, so I could never vote Risk as the worst Megadeth album. The World Needs A Hero was FAR FAR worse, not a single memorable song on that at all.

I never even owned Risk, but I'm voting for it anyways because I listened to previews of all the songs on the album and it sounded just plain boring...
I pretty much like every other Megadeth album so this is obvious...

Personally, I consider their worst to be Youthanasia. I just can't connect with any of the tracks on the album.
Risk comes in at a very close second though.

IMO yes. Its probably the most blatant rip off Ive ever heard. Its not just similar, its an exact copy.

To the guys that wrote "Rust In Peace" a LOT can be forgiven, but I'll probably never forget what kind of a shock it was when I heard "Risk" the first time. Happily Dave has whipped himself and his troops into new fury nowadays, and I've been positively surprised how coherent the latest material has sounded, and in how good live shape the band is at the moment. One of these days I'll have to check out once again some of their latest albums thoroughly and profoundly.

I'm listening to it. Yes. THAT RIFF is a blatant rip off, but that's just I can find on When. Can you explain to me some more?

Considering "that riff" drives most of the song and not just that, it's "Am I Evil?" all the way through.

Totally agreed. Aside from the first 4 albums, TSHF is my fave Megadeth album. Since Risk, Dave has desperately been trying to recapture their pre - CTE sound and attitude. And that album was the closest he came to doing that. Great album. \m/

Yeppers. The intro (and outro) and the solo, are the only parts of the song which aren't ripping "Am I Evil" off. Once the song proper kicks in, the main riff, pre-chorus, and the chorus itself shamefully rip it off. In fact, if you inserted the "Am I Evil" lyrics into those sections, they'd be a perfect fit. lol

Goddamit you guys risk is not that bad !! infact, if you allow yourself to be slightly open-minded and judge the album as a standalone rock album you'll love it, it has really nice tracks "ecstasy" is a personal favorite. people keep saying its is crap coz its not thrash, and they compare it to Rust in Peaca and Countdown to extinction.. which is an invalid comprison, they're both totally different genres, and there's nothing wrong in experimenting outside of the thrash genre (even though i'm a major thrash metal fan) .. and you know what? megadeth proved with risk that they could do A-class rock ... i seriously hate it when people say Risk is crap.. and then go praise some of lady gaga's songs or say that linkin park aren't that bad... COME ON !!
for me its "united abominations" ... that album sucked

The problem about Risk is not the deviation from Thrash genre. If that was the case, we should also crucify Youthanasia and perhaps even Countdown To Extinction... and don't know about yoy guys, but I won't do it to either.
But the reason why Risk sounds so irritating, whole-hertedly bad and spiritless is that it sounds, feels and plays like it's completely calculated effort to get wider audience and more radio play for the band. The damn name of the album, in it's pitiful attempt of self-irony, about underlines and sums up what the band is awarely doing when releasing that turd. Probably Mustaine thought he was going to laugh his way to the bank, but I bet the face went sour the moment the sales figures hit the desk.
Oh, well. each to his own taste, I quess. Since music's greatness and shitness is purely a subjective matter. It's just my honest opinion about the album. I can't say I'm 100% right, and admitting this is in my opinion one aspect of open-mindedness, or admitting that one has sore spot for certain bands and/or music styles. And in any case, my subjective truth about Risk is that it should be buried as a nuclear waste and forget that Megadeth ever recorded it.
An interesting implication that bashing Risk leads people to praising Lady Gaga, by the way...

I do. And I did several pages ago. They sold out just as hard as Metallica did... just didn't meet the same level of success.

You are absolutely right. But countdown, and youth are better than load and reload. Not that any of those 4 albums are complete shit.
The world needs a hero on the other hand, is by and large a steaming pile of shit. While its true that Risk is not the greatest Deth album, and most people get all up in arms about how it sucks. It was (and should have been) going to be released as MegaDave's solo album. However, in a cruel twist of fate, it was released under the holy name of MegaDeth. But for my money, TWNAH takes the shit cake as being the worst by Deth. Risk insnt the best, not by far, but its better than that filthy rotten shit sac that is TWNAH.

Risk is terrible. And not because it came from the genius that is Megadeth, it's just a terrible album by anyone's standards!
