As bands go on, mosdo seem to faulter and slowly go down hill, and to be fair, Megadeth had a bad patch in the 90's were they went more pop, but with this album they have done the unknown and excelled themselves.
Mustaines has realy created some amazing songs here which instantly in any fans eyes would eal a place on any greatets hits album, Gears of War, Sleepwalker and Washington Is Next are immense and real show off oportunity Mustaine to show that he actuallycan still get better. Towards the end of the album it goes a bit more off, Out Of The Tiles is a bit of a O.o moment.
But nontheless a must have metal album.

I have every megadeth album to date, and this was definately worth the wait. Go back to the beginning when dave mustaine told james hetfield (metallica) to shove it and that he would be bigger than they were, when metallica fired him for drinking. Look at metallica now. It's taken them years to get an album out and obviously still clutching at straws. Gears of war was my favourite track and i did enjoy the new version of a tout le monde with cristina scabbia of lacuna coil. I have every digitially remastered album and my collection also includes warchest (worth the buy), but this album was one of the best. Youthanasia has been and still remains my favourite album of all time, and megadeth are my favourite band of all time. Worth the money and totally enjoyable. Recommended to any metal fan, especially those who think metallica suck...

I've always been a truly massive fan of megadeth since about 1991 and they've always been my favourite metal/thrash band.But I can say in all honesty buy this album it is 1 of the best albums your likely to hear in a very long time,fantastic riffs,fantastic solo's done with trademark megadeth precision and aggression.I'll be honest gears of war is a bit cheesy and a tout le monde is'nt a patch on the youthanasia version but other than that it's top class stuff.BUY IT NOW!
