Risk
The eighth album represents Megadeth's greatest departure from thrash metal, exploring alternative hard rock sounds that divided the fanbase. This commercial experiment marks the end of the golden era with Marty Friedman's departure, thus closing the band's most creatively successful chapter. Despite the controversy, it demonstrated Megadeth's willingness to take risks and experiment.
