Album Description
Available in:
Risk is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth. Released on August 31, 1999, it is the band's final studio album released through Capitol Records. The first Megadeth album since 1990 to feature a band lineup change, Risk marks the studio debut of drummer Jimmy DeGrasso with the band. Risk is the final Megadeth release to feature long time Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman, who announced his departure from the group in March 2000.
Meant to be a breakthrough to alternative rock and active rock radio, Risk was a commercial failure and received much criticism because of the great deviation from the band's traditional sound. The backlash ultimately resulted in the band returning towards a heavier sound with their next album, The World Needs a Hero. Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has blamed the record's lack of success on the fact that it was released under the "Megadeth" name, "if anybody else's name was on 'Risk,' it would have sold".
As with the rest of Megadeth's studio records released by Capitol Records, the album was remixed and remastered in 2004, with several bonus tracks added. A new album cover was used as well.
As of 2013, Risk is the last Megadeth album to receive a Gold certification from the RIAA.
