I honestly consider it a highly good pop metal/hard rock album that does what Metallica wish they could have done with
Load and
Reload. I mean those albums are fairly entertaining pop rock with a good pop sense, but
Risk has way more personality. Too bad the band's name was so goofy, Dave's voice was too cheesy for public consumption, and Megadeth simply didn't have the name recognition at the time to overcome their metal past. In another life though that album could have pushed serious units.
