When it first came out I hated it. But the more I listen to it over the years the more I like it. It has some cool guitar solos & grooves. What do you think about it?

I bought "Cryptic.." when it first came out. Its a good Metal album and has some good songs, but when you compare it to the first 4 albums it doesn't hold up.

I liked "Cryptic Writings" almost immediately and it is still one of my favs of theirs. Now, the reason I liked it right away probably has to do with Megadeth's preceding album "Youthanasia", an album that I didn't like for the longest time until one day something clicked in my head and I "got it".  But anyhow, with not liking "Youthanasia", I bought CW with somewhat lowered expectations and the album blew me away.  |

That really surprises me, mate. Youthanasia is probably their most immediate album. I know that a lot of 'Deth fans don't care for it too much but I think it's a stormer and it grabbed me immediately. Reckoning Day is such a superb song.

Youthanasia is actually my fave 'Deth album. Absolutely love it. Me too. God, I love that album (and up until YOUTHANASIA, I would have cited SO FAR, SO GOOD, SO WHAT as my favorite). CRYPTIC WRITINGS was a great follow-up -- not quite as strong, but close. I dig the hell out of it. Just picked up a copy last week, in fact, after not owning it for many years (last time I owned CRYPTIC WRITINGS, I had the *cassette*, if that tells ya anything). J.N. |

I never really gave Youthanasia a chance. I skipped it after Countdown was rammed down my throat. I like Countdown but I was sick of it. I guess its time for me to give Youthanasia a chance.

I actually love 'Youthanasia' as well. I think I liked it alot based on the same reason Jesse liked CW, because I did not really care for 'Countdown To Extinction'. 'Youthanasia' seemed liked a heavier crushing album while alot of CTE seemed more sterile.

My fave before Youthanasia was also So Far, So Good....So What? There is some serious guitar work on that album and Hook In Mouth is absolutely vicious.
I don't mind Countdown... but, as has been said, the production was way too 'clean'. That surprised me as Max Norman is usually a great producer for fat, chunky sonics. He corrected it with Youthanasia though, I'm happy to say.
When CTE got it right [Symphony Of Destruction] it was superb.
