Not underrated but one of their worst. Only RISK is worse. Cryptic Writings is one of the most uninspired and boring metal albums ever. FFF fantastic? It is a musical equivalent of waving the white flag. This is the sound of Megadeth giving up.
So...Megadeth are true musicians. They just change their sound every now and then. I really love all of their stuff because their lyrics are meaningful an their music is expert level. Plus they really focus on melodies, which I really appreciate. Glad you guys like this song.
@@AtillaGenghisHuyter You are certainly entitled to your opinion, everyone is, but I imagine the vast majority of rock music fans would disagree with you. Now I'll give you my opinion.... being a sad little angry person who likes to rain on other people's parades is no way to go through life. I hope you find something that makes you happy. And that you finally move out of your parents' basement.
I wasn't thrown off by this album when it came out. It seemed like a perfectly natural progression from Youthanasia. That run in the 90s was just epic. Rust in Peace to Countdown to Extinction to Youthanasia to Cryptic Writings. All knock outs. (We don't talk about Risk.)
According to Dave Ellefson the bassist, in his book he said the record label and producer for this album and the next one were trying to push the band into more of a radio friendly pop sound to try and attract more people that weren't really into metal music. And even though they went reluctantly went along with it, they weren't happy about it. Except for the guitarist Friedman who wanted the band to experiment with a different sound.
Record label or not, this was definitely influenced by Marty. Sadly, he still wound up leaving soon after the Risk album and going to Japan. Even though Megadeth was more commercial during the Freidman years (which metalheads tend to call selling out), the guitar playing was top notch. Die-hard Megadeth fans point to earlier albums, but the sales on Youthanasia and Countdown to Extinction cannot be ignored.
set the world afire, the first song written specifically for megadeth as a band which dave wrote on the bus back home not hours after getting kicked out of metallica, the remaster specifically is one of their best songs
Don't forget that most of these bands like Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax etc that made trash and speed metal poplular, grew up on hard rock and earlier metal so it's not unusual for them to go back to their roots at times. Also, it's interesting that younger people like yourself and other reactors are so thrown off when a band changes up things withing a song. The use of dynamics, tempo change, varied instrumentation and other methods were common throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s in various styles of music. This is one of the things that kept it so fresh and interesting and it lacks in todays music. They are like plot twists or new character introductions in movies. Embrace creativity!
Thank you guys for this reaction. This is one of my favorite songs and my favorite Megadeth song. This was from their album "Cryptic Writings." Next check out any song from their "Youthanasia" album. It is so underrated. "A Tout Le Monde" or "Blood of Heroes" would be a couple suggestions.
A lot of rock/metal bands over the decades were "lured" by the possibility of making a 'hit' record that appealed outside their fanbase... Sometimes it worked; most times, it was a failure. Kiss recorded 2 disco albums in 1979/ '80... then a trippy orchestral album in 1981... Metallica went from riffing metal in 1991 to plodding 'alternative' and southern rock in 1996/ '97... Def Leppard went 'pop' in 1996 and 2002... U2 also recorded a 'pop' album in 1997 that was a misstep... etc. In the 90's, Megadeth was one of the few metal bands that actually saw sales increase from the 80's... but Dave Mustaine had this 'rivalry' w/ Metallica and wanted their level of success... their 1994 album 'Youthanasia' was an attempt to streamline their sound, but it sold platinum (Metallica's 'black album had sold 9 million copies at that point) ... After taking a break, Megadeth returned in 1997 w/ the album 'Cryptic writings'... Mustaine got Foreigner's manager Bud Prager on board, and decided to aim for an album w/ both speed metal and radio-friendly tracks. 'Trust' was a radio-friendly one and became a #1 single on rock radio... the album still barely sold 1 million copies (Metallica's 'Load' album in 1996 sold 4 million copies) which was still big, but not good enough for Mustaine. Megadeth went even further into a pop direction w/ their 1999 album 'Risk' and that barely sold a half million copies in the US... it also marked the end for longtime members Nick Menza (drums) & Marty Friedman (lead guitar) in Megadeth...
That is how fans felt too. We were all like "This isn't Megadeth", lol. It grew on me, though. Their next album is even more poppy. Then, they went back to more of a metal vibe.
If you follow the timeline this just proves that Megadeth always bit off Metallica. Their albums got faster and more extreme up until the Black Album came out and then they went all pop. 😖😆
@@jmag579, nah. Dave always wrote the way he wanted to write, to get where he wanted to go, and didn't care what other bands did. If anything, you could say Metallica bit off Dave, because they used his music and tried to adopt his style that got Metallica signed in the first place.
@@jmag579 Lars and James are to Metallica and Dave Mustaine what Edison is to electricity and Nikola Tesla. Best analogy Ive ever heard describing the relationship. That being said, I also didnt like Metallica after And Justice For All.... black album was another Bob Rock abortion. Metallicas decline musically was the decision to walk away from longtime producer Fleming Rasmussen
@@TanisHalf-Elven "Bob Rock abortion" Exactly how is that? I always thought the Black album had way better production than the albums that came before? I didn't care for the music on the album much but that has nothing to do with Bob Rock. Why would you think that Nothing Else Matters sounded better if it was produced by Rasmussen instead of Rock? I don't get it.
I had a 2000 watt thumping system in my truck, this was my go to song to knock the fillings out of your teeth. The build up to when the song hits is rad and people couldn't sit in my truck half the time.
Great reaction, when the album came out it was a bit "different", also "Foreclosure of a dream" is another great overlooked song; again a bit different, but kind of fitting in the current climate!
This is an old video, the noise at the beginning was the ending of whatever he finsished editing last... most likely the megadeth song prior to this one.
this was one of those songs that hit replay over and over when it came out. I have watched quite a few of your vids and Lex cracks me up how she gets into the music. I can tell she's a kindred spirit lol. Keep the vids coming.
This is my favourite Megadeth song. I remember first time hearing it, the host of the TV show announced it: and here it is the new song Trust by Megadeth, it's like nothing has changed since the 80s.... And I said this is A+++++
They went hard rock light metal for a little bit during the '90s but still rocked! In recent years they have gone back to playing thrash metal though. One of the best metal bands ever.
Love how you just did Bush and I commented saying that I got this album alongside that album as my first CD's. This has so many good memories for me as a kid back in the late 90s.
One thing I can say about this band, they continue to surprise you. Definetly went more radio-friendly during the ninetines, but they maintained a high level of quality throughout, all of their career really, 35 years and counting. Can't say about that many artist/bands, I love all of their cd's really! The band is all about class (music-wise)!
You should react to Megadeth's song called Liar from the album So Far So Good So What? He sings about their former bandmate Chris Poland, since he was a liar who stole Mustaine's music equipement and sold them tp buy drugs. It's basically a disstrack, it's very good and I believe you would like it since you've heard songs from Peace sells album that Chris Poland made with Mustaine before getting kicked out after peace sells!
Trust is a continuation of an instrumental called "absolution". It was originally recorded during the youthanasisa period, released during cryptic writings.
Megadeth is Dave Mustaine. That’s it. It’s his band. He started it with Ellefson, but now has about as many ex-band members to fill an orchestra. He’s all that’s left now, but continues to pick some of the best talent to represent his Megadeth branding. Also, the Megadeth album “The System Has Failed” was originally intended to be a Dave Mustaine labeled solo project. He brought in ex-Megadeth lead guitarist Chris Poland for solos only on most tracks, and other session musicians like Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and Jimmie Lee Sloas on bass. Later, Mustaine eventually gave up on the solo project idea, branding the album a Megadeth release. Which means that Megadeth *is* and has always been Dave Mustaine’s solo project.
If you liked that you should try the”Trust” video from “That One Night in Buenos Aires”! The crowd (and their participation) and Dave singing in Spanish will blow you away!
The beginning of the video was the ending of another song by Megadeth called "Skin of my Teeth", the first song of their 1992 album "Countdown to Extinction". I'm sure Lex would like it but I'm almost sure Brad wouldn't :D The lyrics are almost a contrast to the song's delightful tone, about clinging on to life by the skin of your teeth. The solo is 1 minute long and it's a masterpiece.
Brad and Lex thank you for turning me on to this song. I have been listening to Dave Mustaine for a long time and I had never listened to any songs off the cryptic writings album. So cool you turning on an old hippie to some music that even I never heard and that's why I watch theses reaction videos because every once in a blue moon hint, hint, you get one that I had forgotten or never heard. And that is why I like your show keep up the awesome work you two do. God bless you and your family Amen.
The very short burst of music you heard at the beginning was a Megadeth song called High Speed Dirt, which is an awesome song. No idea why around 1 second if it would be before Trust. They're not even on the same album. Trust is a more of a pop song for Megadeth. But it's still very cool.
Megadeth was made by the original guitarist from Metalia Dave Mustaine. Dave created what we know today as Death Metal by playing really fast in a deep dark way. Even the lead singer of Metalica admitted that was true.
Oh the beginning part of the video, first few seconds. Wasn’t a part of Trust. They used a different Megadeth song as an intro to their video. That’s why it’s kinda trippy
It's funny to think back that at the time, so many metal fans were too busy being furious about Megadeth "selling out" and "not being metal anymore" to realise that what Megadeth *had* done was write a damn perfect rock song.
For some reason, the very beginning of this video has the last second and a half, or so, of "High Speed Dirt" (Megadeath song from the "Countdown to Extinction" Album)... it was really weird.
Would love to see what you think of some old school death metal. I suggest: Deicide - Dead by dawn Obituary - Chopped in half Morbid Angel - Chapel of ghouls Death - Scream bloody gore
If y'all are going down the Megadeth rabbit hole you oughtta check out "Ashes In Your Mouth". Either the album version off of Countdown To Extinction or the live version from Rude Awakenings are excellent choices. You won't be disappointed.
They gave the whole made for radio thing a crack it didn't really work but looking back now i can appreciate the songs much more now than when they first released them
fun fact: death was already taken as a band name so they had to go with something else. all members are playing drums on this track even though it sounds like bass and guitar. its never been done before and i doubt itll be replicated again. big 60's band all the way into the late 60's. david ford actually taught geroge harrison how to slide on a guitar.
This album is just Dave Mustaine doing what he does. Meaning, he’s just showing his chops. Dave’s biggest influences, and really the music he grew up with, was straight up 60s and 70s rock! He always sited AC/DC, Alice Cooper, and Deep Purple as huge influences on his music. Dave is a basically a musical genius. He never holds back, but he doesn’t try to do too much. He writes really kick ass hard rock and heavy metal. Legendary band!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 Edit: I highly recommend you react to the song Tornado Of Souls off of the Rust In Piece album. Dave at his best! That entire fucking album is a masterpiece! One of the best heavy metal albums, EVER! Bar None!! 💪🏼💪🏼
I really enjoyed this reaction. We get to see you both react to the song being 'something you wouldn't expect' from Megadeth. Brad even knows their 'sound' from Rust in Peace,....well done Brad. I encourage you two to do any song from the album Dystopia.
@@sumonjamal1653 I don't think I've heard anything from it yet, but so far I've liked everything they've done from Youthanasia on. Their earlier stuff was hit and miss, but when they were on target they really nailed it.
Dystopia , endgame and United abominations were straight metal albums . alot of the system has failed was aswell . Megadeth put out a few stinkers in the 2000s but they put out albums on average every 3 years so it's expected. They've made a much better return to metal than other comparable bands
Megadeth went hard rock radio friendly for a little bit during the '90s. Still kicked ass! Then they went back to metal during the 2000s. I still like their stuff during the change. Way better than Metallica's Load and Reload stuff. Yall need to listen to "Dread and the Fugitive Mind" and "Dialect Chaos/This Day We Fight!" Great songs! When Megadeth returned to their thrash metal roots.
Thanks for your awesome videos! Megadeth is my favorite band. Personally if you do more I think you should try to listen to songs/albums in order. They have 15+ albums with lots of great songs.
This is a really underrated album. This and She Wolf from the same album are very catchy. I forgot FFF is fantastic.
It's one of my favorites. 🤘
My favorite album by them.
Not underrated but one of their worst. Only RISK is worse. Cryptic Writings is one of the most uninspired and boring metal albums ever. FFF fantastic? It is a musical equivalent of waving the white flag. This is the sound of Megadeth giving up.

I agree about the "natural progression" take, because Youthanasia sucked too.

Worked well as a sound. Loved it and then. Love it still.

I understand both sides. But Marty had a huge influence on this band. And he’s one of my favorite guitar players

Great selection !!!
the arsenal of megadeth can't get rid of they say!
The remasters are all terrible. Also, you can't play that song without playing Into The Lungs of Hell first.
The first song I learned to play all the way through on guitar.
Next song on the album, “Almost Honest” is also great.
Aren’t all of them? 😉
Yeah I'd like in the beginning to a croaking frog
"Almost Honest" was really underrated, it was also a single but got very little play compared to "Trust".
Don't forget that most of these bands like Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax etc that made trash and speed metal poplular, grew up on hard rock and earlier metal so it's not unusual for them to go back to their roots at times.

“Architecture of Aggression” by Megadeth
Such an under-rated masterpiece of a song.
I thought that was the end of "Skin O' My Teeth"?
Badass song very underrated and the reason they get no radio airtime? Because this kind of music forces you to think
Is it just me or does beginning bassline sound like Sunday Bloody Sunday from U2? 0:42
Not a U2 fan but that one song had me back in the day.
More 90's Megadeth!
It certainly is different than previous albums, but that doesn't mean bad. In fact it's pretty good.
Thank you guys for this reaction. This is one of my favorite songs and my favorite Megadeth song. This was from their album "Cryptic Writings." Next check out any song from their "Youthanasia" album. It is so underrated. "A Tout Le Monde" or "Blood of Heroes" would be a couple suggestions.
I second the suggestion of A Tout Le Monde. That song will be played at my funeral
every song frmo that album is good, and I would recommend Killing Road from Youthanasia!
A tout le monde is a dope, classic in my book along with trust even if they sound different than their previous stuff
The riff in this song is sick.
My fave Megadeth song.
Same here dude, the way he sings "My body aches from mistakes" just hits the spot for some reason

awesome ive wanted yall to do this song for ages

Kick the Chair is a banger. The rock n roll stars aligned in a big way that they got Vinnie on drums on that album
Megadeth rocks🎸
fun fact: death was already taken as a band name so they had to go with something else. all members are playing drums on this track even though it sounds like bass and guitar. its never been done before and i doubt itll be replicated again. big 60's band all the way into the late 60's. david ford actually taught geroge harrison how to slide on a guitar.
Prince of Darkness 👌
Hellz yeah i requested this as well, this my freakin jam right here. megadeth rocks.thanks guys. (Kill the king) by megadeth is also sick dope
Definitely checkout 1000 Times Goodbye by them
One of the few Dave was able to get on the radio.
There’s nothing sexier than your bride groovin’ to Megadeth! You’re a lucky man, brother! 👊🏻
sounds like style of james hatfield of metallica.
This album is just Dave Mustaine doing what he does. Meaning, he’s just showing his chops. Dave’s biggest influences, and really the music he grew up with, was straight up 60s and 70s rock! He always sited AC/DC, Alice Cooper, and Deep Purple as huge influences on his music. Dave is a basically a musical genius. He never holds back, but he doesn’t try to do too much. He writes really kick ass hard rock and heavy metal. Legendary band!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Edit: I highly recommend you react to the song Tornado Of Souls off of the Rust In Piece album. Dave at his best! That entire fucking album is a masterpiece! One of the best heavy metal albums, EVER! Bar None!! 💪🏼💪🏼
"Sweating Bullets" you will need the video. Hello me nice talking to myself / nice story tell it to Readers Digest.
Great jam. Probably my fav of theirs.
They switch the sound and tempo in that bridge to make you miss the hook... then they drop it again and the familiar sound pulls you back in.
This was the last album with the late great nick menza!!and arguably the best line up ever!!!
Check out Almost Honest. So good!
The first few seconds is the end of another song. Their best album was Youthinasia. I would suggest doing the whole album.
I really enjoyed this reaction. We get to see you both react to the song being 'something you wouldn't expect' from Megadeth. Brad even knows their 'sound' from Rust in Peace,....well done Brad. I encourage you two to do any song from the album Dystopia.
That was the end of "Skin of my teeth" at the beginning
Use the man is one of my favourites off cryptic writings
Megadeth started as a thrash metal band but has mellowed over the years.
Listen to their last record 'Dystopia'... crushing metal 🤘🤘
@@sumonjamal1653 I don't think I've heard anything from it yet, but so far I've liked everything they've done from Youthanasia on. Their earlier stuff was hit and miss, but when they were on target they really nailed it.
@@ramonacosta2647 "Dystopia"... 'The threat is real' ... 'Fatal illusion' ...Check out those tracks...🔥🔥🤘🤘
Dystopia , endgame and United abominations were straight metal albums . alot of the system has failed was aswell . Megadeth put out a few stinkers in the 2000s but they put out albums on average every 3 years so it's expected. They've made a much better return to metal than other comparable bands
@@ronpaul1082 Well, Exodus, Testament, Overkill, Death Angel, Kreator... put out some of their best records after 2000.
i love this album!!!
Marty Friedman on guitar. Awesome
Megadeth went hard rock radio friendly for a little bit during the '90s. Still kicked ass! Then they went back to metal during the 2000s. I still like their stuff during the change. Way better than Metallica's Load and Reload stuff.
Yall need to listen to "Dread and the Fugitive Mind" and "Dialect Chaos/This Day We Fight!" Great songs! When Megadeth returned to their thrash metal roots.
Intro into the bridge transition
Thanks for your awesome videos! Megadeth is my favorite band. Personally if you do more I think you should try to listen to songs/albums in order. They have 15+ albums with lots of great songs.
For a really different sounding Megadeth song, try Ecstasy from their album Risk.
Risk is very under-rated. If it didn't have the Megadeth label on it, it would be considered a really great album.
