Close to how I would rank them except probably would put RIP in first and would put Countdown much higher on the list. Fucking love this album, easily top 3 for me.

And both rated 6. That's the only thing I really disagree here. For me Countdown is close to an 8, Risk is like a 5 or so.

For some reason I did listen a lot to Risk back when I bought it and the nostalgia has a part in my ranking. Countdown has better individual tracks on the other hand.

I hate how the entire Youthanasia sounds like it's played in .90 speed but looking past that I think it's a stronger album than Countdown.

I personally disagree with this. I think Countdown and Youthanasia are both great albums that I enjoy. Especially Countdown which is to me one of their best albums, I largely prefer it to Peace Sells or KIMB, not saying those aren't amazingly great and influential albums, just saying that I never got the hate for this brilliant record.

The System Has Failed is quite good.
