Top 3 Megadeth albums

Vote for your top 3! The only one I know for sure is that RiP is my favorite, as I don't know a lot of their songs, but for now I'll pick KiMBaBiG and Endgame as my 2 and 3.

1. RiP (by far)
2. CtE (pretty easy 2nd place)
3. Youthanasia (this one was tougher. Honorable mentions to Peace Sells and UA)

Someone unknown chose RiP KiMBaBiG and PSbWB

Probably “Mr. Thrash,” AKA Kerrick.

Might've voted for four because UA and TSHF are equal. RIP and CtE are one and two.

I screwed up my vote but my list:

1. The System Has Failed
2. Rust In Peace
3. United Abominations

So that was easy.. the 4th woulda been tough.

This was almost my order, but I ended up going Youthanasia over UA.

Washington Is Next! is one of Megadeth's best songs imo, that's why UA won. Those are also the only three albums I've listened to though lol.

Yep, that’s a great song. I also like the nods to Dave’s faith throughout UA.

If you like UA, make sure to check out The System Has Failed.

I have heard Shadow Of Deth. I need to listen to the rest of the album though.

I'm changing my order.

1. RIP
2. UA
3. CTE

I'm considering swapping CTE for TSHF because of the language.

I'd swap them because of the music 

CTE is really good, but I find it pretty overrated.

You listed this just to spite me didn't you after reading my rant about it in the 'Hot Takes' discussion?

Yes. 








Just kidding. I went back and forth on what to put in the third spot.

Yes.

I KNEW IT!

I have a special place of loathing for that album, i can't even type its name.   Metal needed a revival at the time and this wasn't it.  Plus it was emasculated by the producer.

Superjuice is right, it is a total stinker.

Just like "Promised Land", another sluggish release that took a lot of the wind out of their sails and ensured they'd never have another platinum album again once people wasted money on this release.

I like the tone of the instruments on the album but it's dull and bloated

Ok I'm changing order:

1. United Abominations
2. Rust In Peace
3. Countdown To Extinction
3.1. The System Has Failed

TSHF is about equal with CTE, but CTE is more classic.

Part of the charm of Youthanasia for me is probably that it was one of the first Deth albums I got into so it holds a special place for me. And I like it more than Load, at least🤪.

Ha!

"Load" is the ultimate stinker!  It took a massive fail to stop the wave they were riding on TBA but they successfully did it!

Concur.  Promised Land was a pretty big disappointment.  I like some of the songs on there a lot like Global Mind and I AM I, but there is too much pork, especially the wannabe Pink Floyd instrumental.
