![]() This song to me sounds like a filler song. ![]() Mustaine uses it over and over for a while until the chorus. This song sounds good and all, but it lacks that vibe. Friedman's solo is short, just like most of the other songs. If you don't like this intro riff, then this is probably one that will be skipped. Keep in mind that I am very open-minded to music. But I probably couldn't stand listening to it 4 times in a row. I am very open-minded, so it sounds good. You probably have to like the intro of the song to like the rest of it. Come on Megadeth, we need some Hangar 18s. This song follows the same pattern of any other song, with having one solo. After the solo, you hear this nice heavy riff that gets you headbanging. I really liked Mustaine's singing on this song superb. This song, isnt thrash at all, but more just plain Metal. ![]() It is very calm and cool, and then Mustaine starts to sing. Fairly short you could say, but it sticks to the thrash, and doesn't lose any momentum. It starts off with a riff, then busts into the verse where the guitar is fast, singing fast, drums fast, FAST FAST! Woooh, a really good song. ![]() Here is where you see Rust in Peace influence. Most importantly, this song doesn't lose its momentum. The chorus is very cool, as he shouts Mastermind and sings. Mustaine's voice will be VERY irritating for people that don't like his growling in this song, as he does a lot of growling. It starts off with a killer bassline, then the guitar riff, which is even better. I love this song, one of the best on the album. This song sounds pretty good, but still, NOT thrash. He didn't sound very good during the verses. Although I am not a person who hates Mustaines voice, in fact I like it, but I think Mustaine should have worked on singing a little more in this song. This song kind of sounds like Almost Honest in a way. I am one of those people, but this song sounds so good. If you are someone who loves thrash, this is not a good song for you. This overall is a very good song, if you look at it from a different perspective. At about 2:13, the song goes into a little acoustic riff, which is very pleasing, and then into the solo. The chorus is more melodic, and looks to have some pop influence in it. The verse is him singing softly over a good drum beat with a bass. The riffs in this song definitely arent thrash, but they are good riffs. I would say that this song is definitely a commercial song. I found that noise for the first few seconds very irritating, but then the riffage starts. A bit awkward at first, but a brilliant song to start the album. This song is definitely different from normal songs because Megadeth tend to sing about politics, or war or other things, but this is about love in a relationship. The song then finishes after the chorus again. Marty Friedman's solo goes well with the song, yet I think he could have done a lot better. Slowly but sure it builds, then EXPLODES again into the solo ( I literally mean explode). After the 2nd chorus, the song slows down into a small acoustic riff. The guitars slowly come in, and the momentum builds into an explosive heavy riff, that is the main riff. It starts out with a cool headbobbing drum beat. This is an excellent song to start out the album with. Where was that passion that you hear, like in holy wars, or peace sells? Many die hard fans were probably pleased, but yet again, many weren't. Most importantly, the anger in mustaine's voice was gone. The production and shortening of the songs seemed like that was the direction that Megadeth wanted. Anyways, the direction of this album seemed more commercial. For those who have listened to Youthnasia before, you can see that many songs don't acquire those thrash like characteristics. Many fans were disappointed with this album because once Countdown to Extinction was released, they slowly moved towards regular metal instead of thrash. Following the release of their small album Hidden Treasures, which was followed by Youthnasia, Megadeth released Cryptic Writings.
