I remember back in the dial up days a big online debate was Megadeth vs. Metallica... They're both great but Megadeth has a lot more to say... Songs like this prove it.
@@ezioauditoredafirenze5453 Metallica played their cards well (for the most part) and we can't deny that they knew how to make a killer track, one after another, since Kill'em All to the Black Album
Because people are whiny little bitches who want them to copy/paste Rust in Peace on every new album or they will cry. Of all the thrash bands I know, Megadeth is the only one who have been able to vary their sound yet still remain "Thrash" at their core and release consistent, solid material throughout their career. And yes, I include Supercollider and Risk in there, even though I like them a bit less overall. If you look at other big 4 members Metallica, they varied their sound but it is all just hard rock SHYTE (in my opinion); Slayer who literally hasn't changed their sound at all in 30 years (this can be a good thing depending on your point of view), I mean they release the exact same album every time; Anthrax, I give them a break. I personally liked Jon Bush, I just preferred their older thrashy sound overall. But I think albums like Stomp 442 don't get enough credit. We've Come For You All (Jon Bush) is a fucking great album. I could also mention bands like Exodus, Overkill etc which are great but which have less of a "groove" for me, for whatever reasons. But overall Megadeth is my favorite by far. Almost every album has top-notch quality from start to finish, with maybe 2 exceptions (but even the exceptions still have great songs on them). A testament to Mustaine's songwriting and persistence, and to the amazing musicians he has worked with over the years. Wow I typed a lot. Didn't expect that. Ha.
pf008 Risk had better songs than Super Collider did. SC had 1-2 really good songs, and that's about it. Risk on it's 2nd half can actually be really good. The effects they use on Risk just killed it for me. Cryptic is an awesome album though.
you know what i think? sometimes people judge some albums for their best-known songs. now i don't think Writings is among their finest works (i personally think Dave had too much emotional baggage going into this album), but the best songs are the less known ones. this, The Disintegrators, FFF/Bullprick, She-Wolf (although this one's relatively well-known)...
Definitely worth grabbing the original 1997 CD and Cassette (the tape is nice and crunchy on the guitars). Ignore the whiners and babies, this was an excellent album and still holds up well. But I'm a dan of the 'classic' Megadeth era, so there's that.
This album turned out to be the ideal soundtrack for playing certain platform based fighting games. I always played best when this was playing while the game was running. It has the perfect rhythm and feel for doing that.
3:26 “I don’t care what you’ve got!!” Reminds me of the early ages of megadeth. Dave letting out those rebellious screams. He doesn’t really do it anymore.
Yep, that snarly voice, the last album he still sing in high pitch was TSHF. After that the vocal melody tend to be more flat because his vocal range became more limited.
Idk if y'all hear it, but at 3:35, Dave's losing it in the background screaming "I DON'T CARE! I DON'T *voice crack* CARE WHAT YOU GOT" Just goes to show how much energy they had back then lol
This song... I was a teen in mexico studing computer stuff, riding a beachcruizer bicicle with raged clothes as my uniform and a walkman of the first generation that still works tillbthis day and just imagining the life of the common electron, man... No wonder...

My favorite megadeth song and why I don't know but I do think everyone should be able to make up there own minds without the fear of persecution and without judgement if there doing what they think is right. Just think about that right there. If you think your doing the right thing can you ask more of someone than that?
Listen to Nuclear Assault's "Critical Mass" from "Handle With Care" and then come back and listen to this again and tell me that it's pure coincidence that the two sound so uncannily similar. And I mean really listen to them back to back. You'll be amazed at just how much this Megadeth track sounds like a song that came out a full eight years before the "Cryptic Writings" album was released. "Mastermind" sounds just like "Critical Mass." The only difference is that this is a throwaway song for Megadeth - it's basically just album filler, but "Critical Mass" was one of the better known Nuclear Assault songs. How is it that people don't bring this up when talking about this album?
Why did Dave Mustaine ruin all these classic albums with shitty remasters? I can't even give him money because the remaster albums pale in comparison to the original mix.
Underrated album for sure. But Dave Mustaine has become a victim of stupid conspiracy theories and that's sad. I hope that he would get his head back to right path.

@@senormarstonhaha. Yessir
Sound like the metal equivalent of a cop supporting bootlicker lmao 😂@@senormarston
Megadeth is prophetic, the rust in peace album is kind of happening before our eyes begins with a holy war and ends with nuclear warfare
underrated album...but more so, DAVE ELLEFSONs awesome bass, mega underrated - the longest suffering man in music today, I'm sure.
YNO 4EVR
It's David Ellefson
@@livtorres3473 It's david dave ellefson actually

Do true
One of my favorite bass intros.
thanks, man!
1:58. Killer tone. Killer riffs when i think of metal megadeth is first to come to mind
True, man. It's a shame they never played this song live
Fuck ya I always hear the rhythm guitar during the solos also. He's really good at filling in
why this is labeled as one of their worst albums? i Think is FUCKING AMAZING!!

11DNA11 Super solider was far worst than risk. Risk has some great songs . Crush em is pretty bad ass and so is insomnia
RIP Nick Menza
One of my favourite Megadeth songs...crunchy and insidious and oddly poignant!
Man I'm glad I listen to this, after I just about overlooked it as one of their bad albums. Nope this is excellent.
+Jim bob I did too.
Yeah I don't know what people think? This , I think, is one of there better albums.

vortex is a masterpiece!
This song has so much Rust In Peace mentality to it in the way vocals are arranged.
Arrogance comes with intelligence.

agree

a sequel. this is from 1997, psychotron was 1992

This track is a massive underdog!
Dave Mustaine is not just a musical but also a lyrical genius. I love when he gets in the mood to sing! MEGADAVE.
Yep, back then people probably think its fictional stuff. Fast forward to present, we're entering the age of AI.
One of my favourite albums by the best Megadeth lineup of Mustaine, Menza, Marty & Ellefson 👍
3:26 “I don’t care what you’ve got!!” Reminds me of the early ages of megadeth. Dave letting out those rebellious screams. He doesn’t really do it anymore.
I'm not sure if he could even do it anymore

This is the first album of Megadeth I heard and I really like it from the first time!
That bass tone is wicked, man 🤘
this is my first time listing to them and I haven't heard a song I didn't like and probably wont.!!
4 years later have you found a song you dislike?
That last riff before the ending is so cool. Wish it was a bit louder.
Had this cassette when I was about 8 always loved it. 24 n still gives the same good vibe.
Just the hole album is a master peace
masterpiece moron
Yep
Whole album = Masterpiece
Yeah, the groove on this fucking riff is sick✊🏼
Wish the hell I wrote it!!
Recovering addict coming up on 8 years from heroin no turning back for me this song hits home for me anybody struggling out there you can do it man one day at a time
MASTERMIND, shivers up and down my spine!
If you listen carefully, the production is actually massive.
I used to play this song on repeat for hours
Mastermind..love the choppy quick waves and changes .one guitar running you through sweet hard riffs as the other blasts out sending your mind sensations in metal meditation to beautiful levels of .......
When the breakdown riff stomps all over the main one.
So, the lyrics to this are life now
Pretty much
Is it just me or is this album underrated? The songwriting here is phenomenal.
There are many that find this to be MD's best album...
Maybe it needs a rust in peace remake by you.
Mr. david ellefson you’re a badass
Cryptic writeings an risk was their best work...
David Bruggeman you have balls to say that !
Wow
Cryptic is ok, Risk no.
Cryptic is very good. This album introduced me to Megadeth. But this is nowhere near Rust in Peace.
Indeed!
☢ great song great bass great guitar great album! ☢

Apart from the first 5 seconds of that song there is literally nothing else alike. The riffs and solos are different.
Nobody would like being around this type of person.
Dude this song was butchered in the remaster. The "mastermind" chorus got DECIMATED, it's so much more powerful here.
Why did Dave Mustaine ruin all these classic albums with shitty remasters? I can't even give him money because the remaster albums pale in comparison to the original mix.
Yeah I was wondering about that too, the remasters suck.
