Advantages: Great piece of musicianship Disadvantages: what?
BACKGROUND
*******************
As Most of you probably know by now, I am a metalhead. I just love aggressive music, but most of all, bands showing great musicianship (as a guitarist myself). I bought countdown to extinction a long long time ago during a trip to Paris in the Virgin Megastore of the "Champ Elysees". I had the tape in my walkman long before then, so I can definitely say that this album followed me for many many years. I didn't know any other album of Megadeth until recently, when I decided to get them one by one.
MEGADETH, WHO THE HELL ARE THEY???
****************************************************
Megadeth is Dave Mustaine's baby. For those who don't know Dave Mustaine, he is one of the former guitarists of Metallica, but after being kicked out of the band because of his various addictions (booze, and various ...
Advantages: Have many albums and songs, good lyrics. Disadvantages: Arn't VERY heavy metal, but are easily making the grade to be classified into this genre.
music from a near-by keyboard. They have the volume and they have the riffs, they have the beat and the Bass. If you've never heard them and your stuck into metal this one's for you. But dont expect grumbling and yelling noises like that of Slipknot and the likes, because with this band you can actually identify whats being sung!
Some tracks I recommend:
-Losing My Senses
-Trust
-Duke Nukem Theme
-Symphony of Destruction (*Most Popular Track as far as I know)
-I'll Get Even
These tracks show the extents of music that megadeth do so most other tracks will be of a simular genre and beat between the mix of the tracks above. Thats why I chose these tracks.
I recommend MP3.com for samples of this band or you can visit their web site at www.megadeth.com for more information.

Advantages: Good solos, Mustaine's voice is as strong as ever. Disadvantages: Too many simple songs, overly political and religious lyrical content.
After several awards and some famous groundbreaking albums megadeths 11th studio album united abominations is released. After the impressive the system has failed, with technical riffs, and solos it would be hard to beat it in terms of quality and originality.
Stand Out Tracks for good and bad reasons:
Sleepwalker - a song where the vocals are the strong point, the riffs are simple but the lyrics are interesting, and its quite clear Mustaine's lyrical skills have improved as he has progressed with Megadeth. The song sleepwalker is a good opener and at almost 5 and half minutes it keeps the listener engaged with vocal layering, a catchy main riff with a memorable solo.
Washington is next - This is personally my favourite track off the megadeth album, where I feel Mustaine is most focused, the opening riff gets your attention ...
Q (Magazine) (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "ENDGAME starts with an instrumental before hitting the kind of rhythms that once earned Megadeth the tag 'state-of-the-art speed-metal-band'."
