Megadeth have a discog not completely worthless after 1990.

is this a legit question? Poor Jimbo

I just wanted to know what CiG means exactly when talking consistency. Could have been talking about a number of things.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

who has consistently released more worthwhile albums is pretty much the only thing he would have meant. And its not even a contest

 

[CiG]

I think Dystopia rules, can't even remember the last Metallica album I liked released since I've been into metal.

Didn't care much for Death Magnetic?

I remember the week it came out, was in my buddy's car and he put it on and after 2 songs I made him turn it off.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Megadeth released great albums in the 90's. Metallica did not. Megadeth released good albums in recent years, Metallica did not.

If you ever feel like giving it another chance I recommend listening to this version. Much less compressed sounding. It may not be all that good, but is streets ahead of anything they did post 1991.

Yeah this already sounds way better than the version I know.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Even Megadeth's best albums are full of silly songs and obvious filler, and the worst Megadeth songs are worse than even St. Anger. The World Needs a Hero is peak cringemetal. Metallica never wrote anything as embarrassing as 1000 Times Goodbye or that song about yelling at your parents or whatever.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

..... this guy just ignored 60% of Metallica's catalog

Also Rust in Peace is way better than Ride the Lightning

Basically the only good thing to ever come from Guitar Hero.

I'd rather listen to Load and ReLoad than any post-CW Megadeth album. If I skip a couple songs on each, I'd probably prefer the post-ReLoad albums over any post-CW Megadeth album as well.

Regarding RTL vs RIP:

Ktulu
Holy Wars
Lucretia
FFWF
For Whom
Five
Fade
Creeping
Hangar
Escape
Trapped
RTL
Tornado
Poison
Take
Rust... Polaris
Dawn

So if you pick only the greatest from each album they're extremely close, but Ride keeps an extremely high consistency throughout and every song is a stand-out in one way or another, while RIP descends from highest highs to 8/10-ville all the way into crap with the last two tracks.

 

[jimmy101]

That title track on RIP is awesome man. Riff central.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It has good riffs but they don't fit on the album at all, taking an extremely riff-packed and wanky album and ending it with a mid-tempo Sabbath-y thing doesn't work, and the vocals are retarded even by Mustaine standards.

 

[jimmy101]

Peak Mustaine goofball-ism IMO. Save for Sweating Bullets.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

are you really doing a side by side with what is basically an album themed interlude/lead up to the final track with the rest of the stuff on there? Ababhahha. Anyway, i think they're both classic thrash albums with not a single weak track on either ...

and im honestly being generous with that 5 because RtL is not a perfect/flawless album regardless of how you want to look at it.
