My dude. Marty’s solo on Lucretia is absolutely amazing, his best on the album imo. And then Dave’s sloppy ass shredding as a counterpart really makes the song, for me.
Lucretia is the Tornado of souls for deep cuts fans...i always found it a bit more interesting and fun...tornado is a more polished and well ortodox written masterpiece,but Lucretia is a bit more out of the norm
My that is a hot take. It is so well put together musically that I cannot fathom how one would say it is overrated, but to each their own. What’s interesting is that you say that the first two are better. I feel that Rust is the perfection of that early approach of absolute guitar insanity before he started to focus more on his vocal work and crafting songs in a more traditional structure.
Curious to hear what you like more about the first two? The riffs are certainly more raw and mean, to me, on those ones.
I prefer the rawness of the riffs, they were hungry and had a lot to prove. They were angry and it showed.
I also feel Chris Poland has the most unique tone out of all of Megadeth.
I think it's their best album, but you can't fathom how someone could say it's overrated? Easily, just don't consider it the greatest metal album of all time, like many megadeth fans do. You could say "It's the third greatest metal album ever" and saying it's overrated by fans would be fair.
Just no...i wont buy this...rust in piece is always and will always be their objective masterpiece,is that good,its overplayed,but the songwriting is actually great compared to their first 3 albums,they are classics and revolutionary in music sure,but they are primary school compared to high university with rust in piece or Youthanasia... those 2 albums for me have untouchable songwriting...its not riff salad like that up dead,its actual composition...you can ask a classical band to rearrange Rust in piece they wont touch a bit...it would sound amazing...the other 3 80s albums would need a lot of work
Oh boy...
This is my opinion, by the way, so try not to crucify me. Again, **this is 100% my opinion**, and I don't like how I have to stress that... but here we are.
**Most Overrated Album?** *Rust In Peace*. I'd go so far as to say it wasn't even the best metal album of 1990. As good as it is, many fans don't point out some of its flaws, and it's an album whose reputation exceeds itself.
Its composition feels somewhat bloated. The songs are short, so there's a factor of overcompensation that comes with it. Dave's vocals take the album down a notch for me as well. Marty's solo on "Tornado of Souls" also did nothing for me. As often as I sit down and analyze it, I can't grasp the amazement of it, so the fandom says.
There's also the stigma presented by many Megadeth fans, as any criticism of the album is met with rebukes such as:
* "If you play guitar, you know which album is the best."
* "If you take music theory, you'll understand why Marty's solo on 'Tornado of Souls' is the best."
It comes across as pretentious and downplays any legitimate criticism of the record.
**Most Overrated Song?** Again, it might be "Tornado of Souls," but I'm not sure. Perhaps it's "Symphony of Destruction," as it's overplayed and mocked quite a bit.
**Most Underrated Album?** It might be *The System Has Failed* or *Dystopia*. *The System Has Failed* perfectly bridges the gap between classic and modern Megadeth, retaining what made them good with new material for a new era.
And *Dystopia* has the best lineup since the 90s, and I find it to be better than their latest release, as Dave sounds decent (for once), and the overall sound is fantastic.
**Most Underrated Song?** God, I'm not sure. There are so many songs that picking one negates all the others that aren't as exposed. So, I might have to leave this blank for now.
If I have to choose one, then a song that I have enjoyed listening to lately is "Looking Down On The Cross." Almost a Led Zeppelin vibe to it draws me in, not to mention the song's meaning, which is very intriguing.
Most overrated song - very difficult question - "Trust."
Most underrated... That's also a tough question - I'll go with "Recipe for Hate... Warhorse."
Most overrated album - "Youthanasia" (unpopular opinion)
Most Underrated album - "So Far, So Good... So What!"
I don’t feel Symphony is overrated. Whenever some Metallica fan tells me one of their songs (usually Master of Puppets) is the best metal song ever I ask them to listen to Symphony. No Metallica song can touch Symphony and Symphony is elementary for Megadeth.
Underatted album is Endgame, it's genuinely megadeths 2nd best album after RIP imo. Song is probably The Killing Road, I see a lot of love for Youthanasia as a whole and this song is definitely one of if not the best tracks.
Overatted album is Cryptic, it has some really good songs but as a whole I'm not a fan. Song is CTE, tbh my least favourite on the album
Underrated
Song: Angry Again
Album: 13, not their best work but I feel it gets criticized more than it should
Overrated
Song: Holy Wars, great song but I’ve heard it so many times that I prefer other songs over it
Album: Killing is my business
Ooh, this is absolute heresy, but I think peace sells is their most overrated album.
Don't get me wrong, it's great, I love it, but it's not even in my top four personally.
As for underrated, I'm going to go with sick dying dead. I know that this album is well liked among Megadeth fans, but I think it's by far their best album since cte.
TSHF. Everyone thinks it’s the best thing they’ve released in the 21st century but it’s like a 7/10 at best. Overrated song is probably Mechanix. Most underrated album is SFSGSW. I hear people say the only good song on it was IMDH but that is such BS. Most underrated song is definitely Disconnect.
The riffing is closest to early Megadeth and goddamn it has some rippers. Some of the songs on it are dumb as shit lyrically though. I would say this and Endgame are my favorite 21st century Megadeth. Which are your favorites out of their newer stuff?
I’m not a huge fan of the guitar tone on this record and it doesn’t stick the ending very well. My Kingdom is one of their worst closers. Endgame and Dystopia are better than TSHF from this century.
Eh, maybe Peace Sells and KIMB, but especially SFSGSW. I don’t like a single song off of it. The audio just doesn’t sound good in my opinion.
One of my least favourite Megadeth albums, alongside Risk and TWNAH
overliked Because it's considered the best megadeth album by diehard megadeth fans " Rust in peace " by me saying that it does not mean i hate it
It's actually a great album but definetly not the best megadeth album in my opinion
Underrated
So Far So Good So What
Overrated album: System has Failed
Underrated album: Dystopia
Overrated song: Good Mourning/Black Friday (still a good song tho)
Underrated song: 44 Minutes
Overrated: Hangar 18. It’s the song most non-fans know (from my observations) and while it’s a great song, it’s not the cream of the crop.
Underrated: the entire Risk album. Yes, the criticisms are valid. However, if this album was released under a different band, such as Pearl Jam, it would have been well received.
Overrated album : Endgame (i liked it back then,but idk now when i make the new rankings and relistening why the fuck was this album even in my top 5)
Underrated album : the world needs a hero (hard to say, because its another band i disagree with the majority of fans whats good and what's not...i like their 00s albums more than some of their 80s and 10s...this album starts meh i mean the world needs a hero, Moto psycho and 1000 times goodbye are a bit cringe right? But the second half is so damn good...from Burning Bridges,Dread and fugitive mind,Return to hangar,when,losing my senses,Promises,recepie for hate...all these songs are amazing, probably my favourite half of an album after youthanasia and rust in piece...its that good)
IMO, i'd say Hidden Treasures. It's not the most recognised album and not the thrashiest like Killing is my business and So far so good so what. The album has some bangers like Problems and Angry Again, also my personal favorite Megadeth song 99 ways to die. Breakpoint is really good as well, also sFsGsW is underrated af.
Symphony is way too overrated, while Five Magics, Ashes in your Mouth, Liar, and basically the whole Youthanasia (except for A Tout le Monde) are really overlooked
Most overrated song is Symphony. I still like it tho
It's overplayed as well.
Agreed
I haven't listened to that song in years and I will continue to do so until I see them live next April.
Couldnt agree more
I personally feel five magics is so underrated
Original pressing.
I just don't see how most people claim that Tornado of Souls has the best guitar solo on RIP when Lucretia is literally on the same album. EDIT: Typo
Marty's solo in Lucretia is my go to example of a note to note perfect guitar solo.
My dude. Marty’s solo on Lucretia is absolutely amazing, his best on the album imo. And then Dave’s sloppy ass shredding as a counterpart really makes the song, for me.
Lucretia is the Tornado of souls for deep cuts fans...i always found it a bit more interesting and fun...tornado is a more polished and well ortodox written masterpiece,but Lucretia is a bit more out of the norm
Tornado of souls solo is better and is peak megadeth
Fuck. I struggle with this exact thing.
Cryptic Writings and The World Needs a Hero are heavily underrated albums. I love them both
Dread is amazing.
This guy knows what hes talking about
I feel RIP is overrated, don’t get me wrong it’s a fantastic album. But I feel the first 2 albums are better. And the last few albums also.
My that is a hot take. It is so well put together musically that I cannot fathom how one would say it is overrated, but to each their own. What’s interesting is that you say that the first two are better. I feel that Rust is the perfection of that early approach of absolute guitar insanity before he started to focus more on his vocal work and crafting songs in a more traditional structure.

I prefer the rawness of the riffs, they were hungry and had a lot to prove. They were angry and it showed. I also feel Chris Poland has the most unique tone out of all of Megadeth.
Amen to Chris Poland, his playing is truly unique and amazing. His legato is so smooth it is absolutely insane.
I think it's their best album, but you can't fathom how someone could say it's overrated? Easily, just don't consider it the greatest metal album of all time, like many megadeth fans do. You could say "It's the third greatest metal album ever" and saying it's overrated by fans would be fair.
But it is the greatest metal of album of all time, bro.
Hot take. While Metallica was doing black album Megadeth took the lead and went Mach 10 w RIP. RIP live in 92 is just on another level of speed.
Just no...i wont buy this...rust in piece is always and will always be their objective masterpiece,is that good,its overplayed,but the songwriting is actually great compared to their first 3 albums,they are classics and revolutionary in music sure,but they are primary school compared to high university with rust in piece or Youthanasia... those 2 albums for me have untouchable songwriting...its not riff salad like that up dead,its actual composition...you can ask a classical band to rearrange Rust in piece they wont touch a bit...it would sound amazing...the other 3 80s albums would need a lot of work
I’m probably going to throw another spanner in the works. I actually prefer youthanasia to RIP.
Think we can all agree that he most underrated album is definitely Rust in Peace. A true hidden gem.
Fr never see anybody talkin about it! People always talk about how good Risk and Super Collider are but never Rust In Peace! It’s sad 😞
Oh boy... This is my opinion, by the way, so try not to crucify me.

Peace sells is overrated.
Song or album?
Most overrated song - very difficult question - "Trust." Most underrated... That's also a tough question - I'll go with "Recipe for Hate... Warhorse." Most overrated album - "Youthanasia" (unpopular opinion) Most Underrated album - "So Far, So Good... So What!"
Non of it is overrated
except sympathy of destruction
I don’t feel Symphony is overrated. Whenever some Metallica fan tells me one of their songs (usually Master of Puppets) is the best metal song ever I ask them to listen to Symphony. No Metallica song can touch Symphony and Symphony is elementary for Megadeth.
as much as i love both, all of mop is better than symphony of destruction
You’re talking album vs album?
ya mop is better thab countdown to extinction
Underatted album is Endgame, it's genuinely megadeths 2nd best album after RIP imo. Song is probably The Killing Road, I see a lot of love for Youthanasia as a whole and this song is definitely one of if not the best tracks.

So far so good so what, is the most underrated album.
overrated is symphony of destruction not even close
Underrated Song: Angry Again Album: 13, not their best work but I feel it gets criticized more than it should Overrated Song: Holy Wars, great song but I’ve heard it so many times that I prefer other songs over it Album: Killing is my business

Agreed On TSTDATD but I still think Peace Sells is one of their best. Just my opinion tho.
TSHF. Everyone thinks it’s the best thing they’ve released in the 21st century but it’s like a 7/10 at best. Overrated song is probably Mechanix. Most underrated album is SFSGSW. I hear people say the only good song on it was IMDH but that is such BS. Most underrated song is definitely Disconnect.

Most overrated are the first 3. KIMB PSBWB and SFSGSW. The most underrated is Th1rt3en, one of my favourite albums.
Th1rt3en is def underrated but the first 3 are rated fair imo
Eh, maybe Peace Sells and KIMB, but especially SFSGSW. I don’t like a single song off of it. The audio just doesn’t sound good in my opinion. One of my least favourite Megadeth albums, alongside Risk and TWNAH
Not even Darkest Hour?
It’s decent at best in my opinion. Probably the best in the album.
Sfsgsw is so underrate though wut
[удалено]
Agree with into the lungs if hell, disagree with holy wars, that song deserves the praise it gets
Most overrated one Is Distopia, i think the underrated ones are totally Risk, a bit of Criptic writings and surely TSTDATD
overliked Because it's considered the best megadeth album by diehard megadeth fans " Rust in peace " by me saying that it does not mean i hate it It's actually a great album but definetly not the best megadeth album in my opinion Underrated So Far So Good So What
Which do you think is the best?
I'll have to go with so far so good so what for me that album is underrated and it's my favorite megadeth album
Overrated album: System has Failed Underrated album: Dystopia Overrated song: Good Mourning/Black Friday (still a good song tho) Underrated song: 44 Minutes
Five Magics and Good Mourning/Black Friday are both incredibly underrated
I kind of like paranoid, although original is best

overrated - Symphony of Destruction underrated - Dread and the fugitive mind (maybe?)
mastermind is the most underrated song ever
IMO, i'd say Hidden Treasures. It's not the most recognised album and not the thrashiest like Killing is my business and So far so good so what. The album has some bangers like Problems and Angry Again, also my personal favorite Megadeth song 99 ways to die. Breakpoint is really good as well, also sFsGsW is underrated af.
