Risk doesn't live up to its name, either. The band again teams with producer Dan Huff for a dozen safe, melodic, vaguely metallic tunes. Risk may please Megadeth fans not familiar with the aggressive, progressive, heavier metal of the band's Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? Like Metallica (Megadeth singer-guitarist Dave Mustaine was a founding member), Megadeth has risen into the mainstream. Yet the majority of Risk's songs are not instantly memorable or accessible. \"Insomnia,\" as befitting its title, utilizes unsettling, anxiety-provoking strings to create a powerfully frenetic mood, aided by Dave Ellefson's bass, which blazes throughout (he's especially histrionic on \"Time: The End\"). Despite the silly title, \"Prince of Darkness\" is catchy and forceful. \"Breadline\" is sinister and melodic, while \"Crush 'Em\", a deliberately executed fist-pumping sports anthem, is simply innocuous. Lacking the crucial rock \u0026amp; roll ingredients of danger and rebellion, Risk ultimately poses no threat. --Katherine Turman Product description Megadeth ~ Risk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 724349913400\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0724349913400\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e MFR724349913400#VG\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51461017633065,"sku":"EL-XTAB-RH03","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51DLwCTwDQL.jpg?v=1762032579","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/products\/megadeth-risk-cd-used","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
