MEGADETH always will be one of my favorite bands...I think that from KILLING IS MY BUSINESS to YOUTHANASIA they create some of the best THRASH HEAVY METAL of all time...CRYPTIC WRITINGS got some great songs...but Risk......RISK is the most uninspired moment from this great band!!!! Why, Mustaine????? Besides INSOMNIA and maybe PRINCE OF DARKNESS, all the songs sucks!!!! even those 2 are not so good....some songs sound like POP ROCK, and all the album is really POP!???? sadly, this sad Risk is when MEGADETH really went wrong, and turn their fans away...after Risk, i really enjoyed SYSTEM HAS FAILED and ENDGAME...but stay away from this RISK of disliking a METAL ICON like MEGADETH!!!!
