bought this album on my 16th birthday best purchase I've ever made.
I have the cassete... good old times with good old music
People say Dave can’t sing, I think he has the greatest vocals for thrash metal!
I hear this but, it works.
He can sing, but he can sound nasily sometimes. Just my opinion as a fan.
He has very underrated rapping skills. Seriously.
Well, he really can't sing now-a-days, but back in the day he sounded good.
@@frigglediggle2 I think he sounds better now after the throat cancer. Not so much nasal whininess, just sounds old and mean
One of the greatest metal album of all time....
Easily!
In the THRASH catagory, yes - ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Si
My favourite Megadeth album of all time 😊
Marty's solos on this are perfection
Ah yes , the Marty Freidman era 😁
I think rust in peace is better, but this one is near perfect
Yup, this and Youthanasia
Max Norman (producer) deserves a lot of credit for how this ended up, arrangements as well as the mix
Production is minted, the sound of each instrument compliment each other, songwriting on another level, peak megadeth, overall 10 on 10
Everybody likes Rust in Peace, but I always liked this one.
Hidden Treasure's was good also. That came out in 1995.
Everything before Risk was amazing, a 10/10 for me. Except their first album. I can't understand the words Dave is singing lmao
@@cluxx8486 I mean give the guy some credit, he rushed to put together a band from scratch and album from near scratch considering he had multiple songs almost completely written when he joined Metallica which they put out on Kill Em All. Im not a fan of KIMB but its an amazing feat alla things considered.
I like both! @@rustybeltway2373
Megadeth never gets old, even after 30 years. Dave is a master songwriter with clever and meaningful lyrics
Oh "Hell Yeah" I'd love this whole album it rock's and kickass big time. I'd love Dave Mustaine alway's forever into my lifetime......
Skin O' My Teeth is about him being afraid to go to the dentist 💀💀
YUUUUP

Brilliant album - great to listen to again after all these years!!!!!
... 🤘 🇺🇸
Hellyeah 🙂 but the new one is very good 🤘
Listening to the whole thing now, they don't do it like this anymore, musical bliss,thrash heavan
30 years ago, the world was in shock when Countdown to Extinction was released on July 14th, 1992, and 30 years later, this album is timeless and badass at the same time. Happy 30 years of Countdown to Extinction!!! 😈😈🔥🔥
30 years ago I heard Iraqi heavy metal music being sung in ARABIC!!! I lived it, and so has Dave in his own demonic path!!! It is still my honor to continue to rise with my own music!!!
It's an absolute masterpiece, i haven't heard it for a while..love all the songs..but the intro to Captive honour is simply WICKED!!
Lol i stole this cd
30 years later and we're still counting down. It's lyrics stand the test of time.!
Fuck yes sir!
One of my first serious metal albums, used to give myself ringing ears listening to it on my walkman on the bus every day back in the early 90's. Was so glad my friend gave me a copy, my parents would have shat bricks if they knew I got it.
L
I dont get hos people enjoy music while it hurts their ears at max volume
Me pasaba exactamente lo mismo con mi discman Sony y mis audifonos sony Mdr-86 me dejaban aturdido , pero bajar el volumen no era una opcion , un album increiblemente bueno , desde que comienza hasta su ultimo track🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ashes in your mouth is one of their greatests songs ever written. It kills in every way.🤘🤘🤘
I just recently re-discovered Ashes... Grade A Deth Riffs, One of a kind soloing, and catchy earworm lyrics
I was about to write the same, I just discovered it!
Best song on the album. And it's great to re-visit this crisp, crunchy follow up to Rust in Peace, because it's got Marty Friedman solos everywhere! For that reason alone it's a keeper
GOT remember this song...
The mix and production of this album is damn near perfect...probably one of the best sounding metal albums of all time.
Exactly this!
The unique trait Megadeth possesses as a unit has to be the complexity of their music only lyrically they did mature as a band after the first line up change.Muataine has the ability to hurt his nerve and get stronger as a God Thrash for a front man
makes me wonder how I heard of Mustaie before James
Newtons
From memory, you have Max Norman to thank for that.
This album has aged exceptionally well. The production & mix is on point. Content still as relevant as ever. Brilliant musicians. Good on ya Mustaine.
That ride cymbal is like an icepick in my ears. I have on AudioTechnica ATH-M50x monitors, it's pretty brutal.
Good lasting tunes
Timeless album. It rocked the day it was released (came with a Tshirt, which I still have!) and it still ROCKS today. It has stood the test of time. I've been a huge fan, from the early days of Megadeth, and you never, ever disappoint! Thank you, Dave for four decades of awesome music!
I'm jealous. I got NO shirt with my purchase. GLAD 4 u Tho
I remember taking this cd to school along with my diskman and my catholic fri3nd said u listen 🎶 to this kind of music 🎶 I'm like hellyeah don't u. No my parents won't let me they day it's devils music I couldn't believe what I was told. I said it's just music to make u body nd soul, mind feel awesome ❤ he just looks at me like gave him the 🤟🤟🤟🤟🫡
Indeed, good music doesn't get forgotten. True metalheads will appreciate this.🤘
@@huggybearjohnson4197I'm big on Ozzy Osbourne and love Metallica and Megadeth as well. I'm a true metalhead and absolutely love it. If they call this devils music, those people probably thought Ozzy was the devil himself. Anyway, I'm grateful for decades of amazing music, and Megadeth is one of my favorite bands. Long live heavy metal.🤘🤘🤘🤘
I never got a t shirt, bought this new when I came out too....wth?
My favourite MEGADETH Album 🎸🥁🎸🎸
The thing I like about Megadeth the most is that the lyrics isn't about 'Satan, Death, Blood', but various themes that other thrash bands failed to write about.
Actually that theme can be found on Peace Sells))
Yeah dude for sure. Megadeth is intellectual with lyrics and overall stimulating from the lyrical standpoint. I'm so tired about hearing about Satan, etc. to be honest Satan is stupid as hell, why would anyone worship or hold him in high regard? If you agree that Satan exists, what rational person would ever support what Satan stands for? Does satan heal people or make miracles? Of course not. You do have to be a libtard to support his agenda of the destruction of the nuclear family and dudes crashing wieners into each other. He is our ultimate nemesis, as he only allies with us to facilitate further sinning and doing his will, like we are his bitches. Fuck that. If we acknowledge Satan then we by default acknowledge Jesus and the greatest gift to mankind ever. So let's stop being stupid, and instead support Jesus with the metal he deserves to have edify his legitimate ass! Rock on for Jesus and not that butt fucker satan.
Precisely like post apocalyptic dystopia, governmental autonomy, psychology...They are a deeper, more thoughtful metal band than any other
I guess you don't really listen to Megadeth huh? People really need to get over their hangups about Satan. And Christians need to stop trying to take posession of art.

So glad Dave wasn’t forced to get on board with the Napster crusade. One must never forget just how douchey that whole thing was.

I don't do it.
Great album and songs 👌👍
"Hell Yeah" Megadeth knows to play their heart out to their fan's.
@@peggyemery2379
Exactly
The bass! its the Bass!
Man I had this album when i was like 14 in the 90s and just remembered it. Probably the best megadeth?
Possibly the best production of their records, it's mixed nearly perfect.
@@ponzo1967 Dave is pretty strict with making an album as perfect as possible. Always has been like that and always will be.
Personally I lOVE Psychotron, what a riff. Another great record. Rust in Peace and Countdown are metal masterpieces.
Both are peak Megadeth!
Nick Menza RIP is phenomenal on this album and Rust in Peace 🥁
Siempre es bueno escuchar este gran disco de Megadeth. 30 años después, me hace viajar a mi época de adolescencia, honores a esta gran banda!

Thank you Dave for creating such a better band. Cannot imagine music without Megadeth.
This was such an awesome follow-up to RIP - totally different but still every single song on it is unmissable. It's easy to criticize it for sounding clean and commercial like people do with Cryptic Writings but fuck that, this album rules.
Both this and CW are awesome albums! A clean production is great!
with how totally dead metal is in the commercial sphere it's about time to stop complaining about albums sounding commercial lmao this shit ain't coming back for a while or ever
Ashes In Your Mouth--absolutely savage song and Amazing way to end the album with an echoed E power chord. Breathtaking
Well technically the song never ends because of the repeated fading out E chord and the cymbal hit, but oh my, details...
To me, ashes in you mouth is the best song from Megadeth

I can clearly remember playing this album on my boombox, again and again, the sound was so crispy and heavy, the cover art so impacting, the music felt so meaningful and somewhat mysterious to my pre-teen self... how tf 30 years went by, dammit...
dude so funny I was thinking earlier how the hell did I keep batteries in mine with no job nothing and I cant afford them now ! I still have large collection of cassette tapes and 3 players but NO batteries ! lol
OfCourse just plug it in but from Kentucky we was always up in the hill doing something
I remember getting this album as a kid and playing Super Mario Bros 2 while this blasted on my Sony stereo

Очень хороший альбом послушал его так как узнал на канале Metal 101 Спасибо большое Николаю за совет очень хороший альбом Я знаком с другими альбомами группы Megadeth, очень тоже классно особенно последний альбом в 2022 года! Ну что сказать в итоге такие альбомы можно переслушивать и не просто слушать а именно переслушивать!
This Album is a master peice every song kicks ass 👍👍👍💪🇺🇸💪
Because it tells the truth
Never forget when this dropped..was jamming all night!!

You're a genius for knowing he is.
Another MASTERPIECE
True that! Just follow Dave and co. And go from killing is my business, Peace Sells... , So Far, Rust in Peace, Countdown, Euthanasia and Cryptic Writings is a continuous convoy of epically made, no 2 are alike Masterpieces! Even the albums after Criptic are as good of not better then albums released by other bands.And being Thrash😢v Metal never had airplay or the need to change the look of the band to adapt to stink music like grunge! I truly believe that if Lars and Hatfield didn't kick him out we would of never experienced such greatness! Even the soundtrack song and the remakes are done in ways to honor the bands that originally made the tune.Sorry for ranting and totally my opinion but by Mustaine being pissed we got the best!
One of the best albums EVER!!
y rust in peace?
this album is eternal...old,but good,just like wine:P
not Mad dog 20/20 wine though ! lol
for me the best record with the best line up....R.I.P. NICK...you were the reason for me to pick up the sticks and learn drums myself.
Nice! Yeah, Nick was savage on the drums. This performance of Lucretia comes to mind: ruclips.net/user/clipUgkxzIR486MLY9i-THnWdyDyOVNBcECeuQxs
I got to meet Nick on this tour , think may have been my 1st concert ever them or A.I.C cant remember but the whole band was great wasn't no meet and greets they was behind the venue just hanging out talking to everyone after the show. its a killer venue was then , Newport music hall Columbus Ohio, 1,700 max capacity , but I hear they put seats in it now to raise price on seating was general admission but I remember Nicks kit went to the ceiling , rite at it , it was a wild set up
Menza was a beast on this!
I love how everyone in the comment section likes a different song, just goes to show how good this album is! 🤘
Yeah, I don't know why some people don't like it. It's really great!

Remember going to record store buying this the day it was released.. High school days of discovering Metal albums. Wow what good times before the internet, cell phones and pandemics
Times were definitely simpler. Imagine what today's youth will say in 30 years.
It's always going to happen.
I totally agree 💯 especially the plandemic part 🤡🤡🤡
Midnight releases at the store and not online and you got goodies as well, good times
Megadeth slays all, best thrash band ever. JMO.
Not an opinion, straight facts. Megadeth rules!
I was always bummed fuggled as to why Megadeth, which was a much better band than Metallica in every aspect, wasn't more popular than Metallica.
Masterpiece
Superb Album, perfect sound, just incredible. Outstanding classic.
I Used to hear this album when I was 15… (2010) on a road trip to Mancora - Peru … those were the days … man
I never was into this band particularly because of Mustang's voice...but took me 8 year's after that ... I'm a huge fan... maestro
I was introduced to this album somewhere in 1998 (high school times). A classmate had it on his walkman. He gave me his set of headphones ("just check this old tune" - he said). I could not stop listening to it. Let me just say it was during some lectrure that had just started. I don't know what was the lecture about, I was simply listening to the album during the entire lecture. I was sitting in a 3rd front row, I was looking at the teacher, nodding when I felt I should just to ensure him I am receiving new knowledge, but I was all way into the tunes I was listening to.
Excellent 👌
This is one of the best albums from megadeth brings back to my teen years
Dave's voice never sounded better than it did on Countdown to Extinction. The production overall is great, even got a little radio play.
id argue his voice peaked on youthanasia but i feel u
One of the groups best albums 😊
Amazing how memories can take you back in time. I feel like my teenager self from the early 90's. i can still remember when Symphony of Destruction debut on MTV. 10 yrs ago went to my 2nd MEGADETH concert I actually was front of the crowd mezmorized by Dave Mustaine. He threw guitar pics into the crowd i caught one Like slow mo threw my eyes it flew threw peoples hand trying to grab it and like magic or the pic of destiny i raised my hand caught it with one hand like a power fist. i quickly put into my pocket and went head banging powerhouse.i was empowered after the concert. showed my friends it was a heavy metal blessing not to mention when CDplayers came out this was my first album from cassette tapes.
Pick of Destiny 😂🔥
I know what you mean brother, I caught a drum stick, the only drumstick that Nicko threw to mid stalls, October 12th I think it was, 1984, Hammersmith Odeon when Iron Maiden were touring their Powerslave album. Still have it. What made it so special was that I was just starting out my own career as a drummer. It was like passing a baton to me. I also have a Nikki Sixx pic from a Wembley Arena gig perhaps 1989 and a few other things. Bits of a deflated Jethro Tull massive balloon somewhere lol
I saw them 8 years ago. also, I saw them play an acoustic show a short time later. the crowd ruined it by singing along the whole entire damn show. ticket was like a hundred bucks too.
Megadeth-Это просто Мегабомба💣💥достойная истинной классики!🇷🇺
☦️
My Stepson kept insisting I listen to this Album but I'd never listen to Megadeath. I gave it a try, now til this day it's one of favorite albums.
This album is really good . Great riffs and solos . Its one of my best ones with Peace sells and Rust in peace
If somebody asks me about which one is my favourite Megdeth song - i'm starting to listen "peace sells" and "so far, so good" back and forth. And i can't decide. "Countdown" is good, but for me it was the first "late" album.
@@caroliensche13 if anyone asked me it would be Warhorse off my favorite album The World Needs a Hero
Yeah same here
Captive Honour! AINT NO HONOUR!! If I HAD to pick a favorite, this is one of those rare albums where every song is so good!
Hard to pick a favorite!! one of if not their best album
I totally get what you guys are saying. First time I saw Sweeting Bullets video I was blown away. But for me the best album is Rust in Peace. I was a young soldier going to Desert Storm. I was a young black American who happened to be Muslim who loved and still loves speed/thrash metal. So many of those songs told a sorry. I was able to picture myself in the song Holy Wars telling people to not fight. 5 Magics we're in my estimate the five weapons systems I was proficient, Dawn Patrol was asking me what if this spilled over the globe. I tear up at times now when I hear songs from that album.
Can you imagine going out on a mission and to get you hyped you play Take No Prisoners!?
I know that Desert Storm was not as hard core as my deployment to Iraq in 2005 but those songs still were in my head. Moving forward to 2004, Kill the King was my "ode" to Saddam Hussein and I literally kicked a chair when I had a chance to go to the palace in Tikrit.
The lyrics! Genius
My favorite Megadeth album 🤘🏻
Mine too
I almost forgot how melodious and awesome Megadeth songs were. I had this album on cassette passed down from a friend. Indeed a favourite this album is!
Foreclosure of a Dream
Is my favorite song.
hermosa musica, me trasporta a mi primer año de secundaria, que tiempos, aguante Megadeth
Every song is just an ace!!! pretty awesome. Personally my fav MG album, even over the hyper Rust in Piece. Maybe because of dynamics, hooks and the stellar production
I tend to like The World Needs a Hero as my favorite Megadeth album.
Crucify me.
90,92,94,97 - Golden Megadeth 🤘🏻💚👶Best Metall!
Legendary album. It is still amazing to this day.
Man I remember when this album came out. Symphony of destruction was a new metal sound. The song blew up everywhere. Man I miss these days... life back then was good and Megadeth was on top of the world with their best line up of all!
Okay symphony of destruction just made me a megadeath fan
Daves voice is cool and clean and sinister im sold
My first album of theirs, which launched me into becoming a fan of Megadeth 🤟
Man I've heard "skin o' my teeth" way too late in my life (i.e. just now). What a great song to listen to as a teenager, or back in the 90s.
No skip a single track....!! pure art this album
I was born August 17th 1996 i listened to this daily thanks to my dad, whenever i get to missing him i listen to this album
Architecture of agression IS so funky for those that understand what i mean.....Megadeth music never desappoint me , each LP has something good to me
Gracias [😊😊😅😅😊]
One of my favorites ❤❤❤
I borrowed this album on tape back in 2001 and totally enjoyed rocking out to it! Now listening after so many years and relishing it. Cheers from India!
So much better than the remaster. Who ever posted this, thank you!
32:57 - 33:00 PSYCHOTRON!!! This album is mixed excellently!
The ride cymbal sound in the chorus in Skin of My Teeth is life.
Мегадет , отличная группа.
tomorrow, July 14th 1992 this album came out…30 years ago; was 19 years old; saw that Tour in october 1992: PANTERA opened for MEGADETH at Mehrzweckhalle Sempach, Switzerland; great times never forgotten \M/

One of their best Albums. They are all great but some of them are landmarks. This one certainly is, as is Peace Sells and Rust in Peace. Their latest “ The Sick the Dying and the Dead is a true tour de force. Dave has once again created a Metal Masterpiece!

My second. My first Megadeth album was r.i.p. and the first song I heard was "tornado of souls!" Great times.
SENSACIONAL ♥️
Yabsolutly rectifying! My favorite album. Rock in ✌. Love you MegaDeth!!! See ya in time.
I listen to this album almost daily. It's quite possibly the best rock/metal album of all time. There's nothing quite like it.
You are absolutely right my friend!
Fuckin great album from beginning to end.

My mom took my cassette tape away and grounded me for listening to this.
You rock !

Bought this on cassette
Bought this album when it was released, still sounds great today , not a bad tune on it
One of many great albums by megadeth
I love all eras of Megadeth but 90s Megadeth just hitts different
Loved this album, it reminds me of my senior year in HS, good old times.

Y rust i'm peace
Got it for xmas in 92 and remember being disapointed it wasnt rust in peace part 2 and that Vic wasnt on the cover. Revisiting as a non snobby teenage metal head always looking for something heavier I think it is a great album and glad that it got them commercial success. This was the lightest music I was into at the time, just discovered napalm death carcass and morbid angel but still liked good thrash.
One of the greatest depictions of Vic was on the album just not front and center
@@williambraden3912 Yeah I like that picture of him working the abacus
I remember it like it was yesterday. About 3-4 years ago, i was scrolling through RUclips and I saw a Playlist. It was the whole countdown to extinction album. That was my fitst megadeth experience. I was blown away. It was an incredible experience. Through that I got to know about rust in peace, dystopia and peace sells which are my top 2, 3 and 4 favourite megadeth albums. From the day I listened to it, it remained my favourite. I love tornado of souls, holy wars, poison was the cure, hangar 18, lucretia, etc. They are amazing songs that stand with the best of all of metal, but idk, something about the songs on these albums is just different. The solos are so raw with close to no effects (like excessive delay, reverb, wah, ...), the riffs are tight af, the clean parts are out of this world. This album isn't like peace sells with chris poland's unique sound, dystopia with kiko's exotic phrasing and the heavy ass riffs, or rust in peace with the melodic and complex solos. This is raw power. This sounds like straight out of an amp, no sound adjusting, and yet the sound is so perfect. I don't think an album will ever catch me like this one did. Fav album oat. I'm not exaggerating, every single song is a flawless 10/10 imo
