Still heavy but lacking much of the speed and aggression of the past, "Youthanasia" was another commercial success for Megadeth. I actually really like this album. It's melodic metal with a slightly pop sheen. "Train of Consequences" is an excellent Megadeth composition. "Victory" is a cool song as the lyrics are made up of no less than 20 other Megadeth song titles. "Addicted to Choas" is a crushing, heavy song as is "Black Curtains." I think this album went platinum plus.

This could be Megadeth at their best. A great album top to bottom.

This is very great record. Polished and well produced. I didn´t like this immediately when it was out, but after a few good listen, I fell in love. Tracks 3-8,10 are my favourites. Victory is funny cross-section of Megadeth´s history.

Somebody please add Marty Friedman/Jason Becker´s CACOPHONY "Speed Metal Symphony" and "Go Off" releases here in Brutal Metal. Also Metallica´s albums from "Kill ´em All" to "Black album" wanted.

I have always considered Megadeth to have a sound somewhat between Classic Heavy Metal and Real Thrash Metal ( my definition of Speed Metal ) but on this recorded they pratically abandoned anything resembling " Thrash" ( i.e songs like Take no prisioners ) and get fully on their Classic Heavy Metal side .fact is, this is still a great album, altoguth lacking some aggressivity of previous records, but this is what we could call a "mature" Megadeth

I liked this album then, and I still do. Sounds kind of european, very original lyrics(even a french chorus)I agree it´s more clasic heavy metal than trash.

I like this album, but it in no way resembles "speed-metal" and sounds kinda commercialized.

This cotinues the sound of the last album, but slows it up a little. The problem here is that while nothing is bad here, nothing besides "Train Of Consequences" and "A Tout Le Monde" stick out. 6/10

this is megadeth at their finest, quality indeed, their best since 'killing is my business' check out friedman on 'keep it in the family' or mustaine's voice on 'a tout le monte' excellent cd.

may not be as fast as old megadeth, but holy shit, Dave will always be the man. the songwriting is great, marty friedman was still kicking ass. Victory......holy shit, the guitar in that is to die for. and the softer tracks are definately awesome IE addicted to chaos and a tout le monde. definately a good album to learn on guitar. such memorable hits are on this album. and the songs(like any megadeth song) are very meaningful. and they have good messeges. i give it a 10.

A very good and creative album but not MEGADETH at their best.

Hmm..is this the same band that produce peace sells and rust in peace? Obviously,this album was 7 words-sellout! The music here is lots more accessible and songs like family tree and victory are made for radio friendly production. The album here loses lots of progressive and thrash elements that once made megaeth the finest(along iwth metallica)thrash metal band. All that are left are more classic straightahead heavy metal. Train of consequences are the only real worthy song. Disappointing. 6/10

im sick to death of some of you fucking fools with your "sellouts" and "commercialized". thats a load of bullshit, there are some great tracks in here, a tout le monde and train of consequences are great songs. if you havent heard any megadeth stuff, dont listen to some of these people, they are a great band! tracks like symphony of distruction, hanger 18 and of mice and men have assured this! rock on megadeth!

One of the most commercial Megadeth releases ever!!!...i'm not a big fan of them but as a general music culture lover i have some of the band's releases and this one for me is what we can call a "happy metal" one...best tracks for me are 1,2,5,7,10,11 & 12...quite enjoyable to be honest with you all .88/100

Man, you thought the drum sound on Countdown To Extinction sucked? It's even worse on the follow-up, Menza sounding like he's using a rack tom as a snare. The album as a whole tries to dupicate the style--and success--of Countdown, but with less satisfying results, although the first half is mostly good. There's justu some slow, hookless tunes later on that drag the album down, and an overall lack of the kind of fire and aggression that even Countdown still possessed. Thrashmetal as Mustaine and Co. knew (invented) it was long dead by '94, and the guys seemed to be feeling their way along in a post-Cobain world. Not a flop by any means, but still somewhat disappointing. Best songs are "Reckoning Day," "Train Of Consequences," "A Tout Le Monde," "The Killing Road' and the fun, self-congratulatory "Victory."
