more melodic, still heavy metal

Review Score: (10/10)
Megadeth may have shyed away from sheer metal after "Rust", but they by no means lost their edge. "Youth" sports gigantic, killer riffs with the best being on "Reckoning Day", "Victory", well, mostly all of them get in your head one way or another. Also, the lyrics on this album are more focused on one issue rather than sarcastic jokes (you know what I mean). For example, the "Killing Road" talks about the life of a touring band, "A Tout Le Monde" speaks about suicide, and the title track contemplates government corruption. On this album, compared to other Megadeth releases, they are more focused and mature without losing any of their edge.
