Risk was a bomb drop in 1999 for much of Megadeth's fans. Comparing to the other albums such as Rust in Peace, So Far, So Good, So What...? etcetc, your reaction to this album would be probably something like this; #$"%#"? is this Megadeth?!!What Wheck?!

Risk was a bomb drop in 1999 for many of Megadeth's fans. Comparing to the other albums such as Rust in Peace, So Far, So Good, So What...? etcetc, your reaction to this album would be probably something like this; #$"%#"? is this Megadeth?!!What Wheck?!

But well. IMHO, the album isn't bad at all! Different yes!

I can feel some Marty Friedman spirit on it special on Insomnia. Price of Darkness, Enter the Arene, Crush'Em you can get a fighting feel, i would love to fight with Crush 'Em passing as back track! Breadline, The Doctor is Calling, I'll be There, Wanderlust, Ecstasy, Seven, Time: The Beginning have a more 80's Metal/Hard Rock, Alternative Feeling. Time: The End, the first time i hear this track, i was quite surprised, because Mustaine's voice remind me of Ozzy user posted image, this track would probably fit well United Abominations.

The instrumental of the album is amazing you have everything for a awesome Rock/Metal/Alternative album, love how the guitars follow the voice and do that deep, palm mute that you can head bang too and some riff are actually pretty kick ass! The drums seems pretty solid and well build, i think DeGrasso did a quite good job, as well as the bass! However i don't understand much ahah.

In lyrical and vocal terms, well it's Mustaine, or you like it or dislike, i like his voice all through i dislike with some effects used on some tracks.

The lyrics could be worse!, i love the Bon Jovi kind mix up Metal feeling on some q;, for example:

I'll be there for you, when you walk through the fire
I'll be there for you, when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life, I'll be there for you

All through some of the lyrics have that aggressive feeling, i won't go any near the aggressive that you can feel for example on "Killing is my business .....and business is good!", doesn't mean that's a bad thing, for guys like me, for metal heads, it could be like......going to the church at 7 AM user posted image .

Heads i win tails you lose
Out of my way i'm comin' through
Roll the dice don't think twice
And we crush
Crush 'em

Im gonna give this Album a 7! I don't recommend if you are a Metal Head and Metal Head only, this album may be big disappoint to your life. However if you are a guy like me, who likes pretty from death metal, to rock/pop i would recommend it!

And remember: Stay Mega till' Deth \m/

Do Yours!
