Neat album. Don’t get the hate. Not the worst, not the best. Some interesting tunes. Pretty cool for Megadeth to try something different.
It’s Megadeth. Enough Said.

This album is pretty underrated because a lot of Megadeth fans never gave its progressive style a chance. It would rank pretty close to Rust in Peace if I had to put it on a scale. It’s Definitely worth a purchase, as it has many absolute gem hits.
VERY Different album

This is a MAJOR shift in sound from Cryptic and the predecessors. It’s a unique sound, kinda pop but also arena rock. It’s what the name of the album is: a Risk. I think it’s good, but easily the worst Megadeth album. But I do like Insomnia, Princess of Darkness, Breadline, and Seven.
Overall just good. 3 stars imo.

finally just gave this album a chance (the original version) and yes, this is their worst album to this point in their career, but there are a couple songs here that are great. everybody knows prince of darkness but there is the other single breadline thats great, essentially an alternative track. then the last two tracks time:the beginning/end are amazing, i highly suggest those but thats it, just get those four
Thrash Metal for life

I love most of Megadeth work, on my opinion Risk is one of the best albums seen as alternate rock 5 stars for this underrighter gem
Hail to the thrash metal god Mustaine
Well at least the name is appropriate

Yeah this album could’ve put this band’s career at risk all right so I’m glad they decided to name this album risk so that way you’d know that you’re at risk of wasting your money on this album in other words DO NOT EVER BUY THIS NO GOOD WORTHLESS EXCUSE FOR A MEGADETH ALBUM
Just Awful

As a lifelong Megadeth fan, this is the worst record they have done to date...with Super Collider following. Just awful. The album was named "Risk" for a reason. It was definitely a RISK! This is a far cry from what many were accustomed to from them previously. If you're looking for the thrashiness of their first few records, you will be disappointed.
Most underrated album in metal

I don't know why people don't like this.
You knew what you got its in the title
"Risk"
Besides this was a simple progression from Cryptic Writings
Underated to the maxx

Being a big Megadeth fan and a even bigger Metallica fan I was expecting Megadeth to bring the noise when this album released back in 1999. I was very shocked when it was different. If you are a metal fan only then maybe this isnt for you. But Megadeth here in my mind took a risk on this album and struck gold for me. Its different yes but sometimes you need to change to grow. I credit this album for swaying my preferance toward Megadeth over Metallica. I highly recomend listening for yourself and giving it a chance.
