Youthanasia is criminally underrated. It's probably my favorite Megadeth album behind RIP and people act like it's as bad as CW or Risk when it's way better.
That's just my opinion though.
I agree with you 100%, Youthanasia is criminally underrated, and the most consistent album Dave ever wrote in terms of every song being really good. Not a single song out of the twelve is filler, something one actually can't say for the most typically cited classics of Peace Sells and Rust in Peace (there's no Dawn Patrol or These Boots on Youthanasia). Of course, it's considered heresy to even say this. I think the reason why Youthanasia didn't get accepted by some is the fact that the songs are more or less mid-tempo, and people were hoping for some faster songs, but I don't think that's a reason to judge the material as any less than it was. Definitely anyone who thinks Risk, the worst Megadeth album x100 is better than Youthanasia has their eardrums up their asshole. It's like saying one of the post Black albums was better than Black. There's a difference between trying to write great mid-tempo songs that have great melody and harmony at every turn, and incorporating a lot of weird-fitting non-metal influences that disrupt every thing the band ever tried to do in terms of musicianship, mood, style, composition, and authenticity for the benefit of absolutely fucking nothing - hoping to sell more albums and instead selling less because of the embarrassing drop of quality in every aspect.
