Now I love the songs, also love Dave vocals on Foreclosure Of A Dream. Foreclosure Of A Dream and High Speed Dirt took me some time to like(HSD a little more). ![]() Sweating Bullets has one of the best opening lines and also a really badass intro. So I assumed if you like Liar you will also like Skin O' My Teeth but I saw that wasn't the case. My favourite songs are: Skin O' My Teeth, Symphony Of Destruction, Architecture Of Aggression, Foreclosure Of A Dream, Sweating Bullets, Countdown To Extinction, High Speed Dirt, Phychotron, Ashes In Mouth Least favourite: Noneįor me Skin O' My Teeth has the same vibe as Liar. It was so catchy! From this album Megadeth started becoming softer. This is the song that made me a Megadeth fan. Symphony If Destruction came up, I absolutely loved it. When I started listening to Megadeth I was searching for their best songs(that's what I do when I listen to new band, if I like the songs I will go listen to their first album and go from there). Just like Rust In Peace ALL the songs have amazing solos. Review: The Sick, the Dying.Countdown To Extinction was my favourite album at the time I was listening to it.

(reviewed by Bahamut 502) Countdown to Extinction is the fifth studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth, released on July 14, 1992, through Capitol Records.

Generally considered Megadeth’s last "classic" album, the transitional Countdown represents the 1-2 year period when Mustaine finally eclipsed is former band and Megadeth reached the pinnacle of its popularity and critical acclaim. Some of Megadeth’s most popular and well-known songs can be found here, like "Skin O’ My Teeth," "Symphony of Destruction," and "Sweating Bullets," and the album closes with one of Megadeth’s most revered classics, the blistering virtuoso "Ashes in Your Mouth." Countdown also represents some of Megadeth’s most socially-conscious work, as the lyrics focus on ruthless heads of state, schizophrenia, endangered species, and, once again, the horrors of war. But the heaviness is still there it’s just more streamlined and direct. Most of Countdown lacks the intricate complex riffing and blistering speed of previous Megadeth albums and relies more on heavy mid-tempo grooves, catchy melodies and pinpoint production. But whereas Metallica sounds tired and scripted, Countdown to Extinction stands as the blueprint for mainstream metal. ![]() The noticeable move toward accessibility is clearly a reaction to Metallica’s infamous black album, which opened the floodgates for the popularity of thrash metal in 1991 and drove Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine even further into raging envy. Countdown represents Megadeth at the peak of its popularity and success, but the album is still regarded as legitimate hard-hitting, thrash material. Countdown to Extinction, released in 1992, and Youthanasia, released in 1994, continued the band’s dominance of metal and emergence in rock’s mainstream, with the latter album’s À Tout le Monde being a rare thrash ballad. Countdown to Extinction, quite possibly Megadeth’s most analyzed work, isn’t as relentless as Rust in Peace, but is still much more aggressive and far less accessible as its successor, Youthanasia.
