I think that there is one one reason why Youthanasia is varied. After "Countdown to extinction" Megadeth composed more tasteful songs and the result is Youthanasia. Lyrics has atmosphere like the album cover. Once are "green" and once are "black". They did write about things which has personal character and divine consideration, reflection(Elysian fields) (green fields on album cover makes atmosphere of Elysian fields. And cloudy sky can be "Black curtains".
About heroism"Blood of heroes".
Dave Mustaine's guitar talent for composing is big. But what he created on Youthanasia is excellent. Those all melodies or solos are like mirror of Dave's soul.
Take attention for "Addicted to chaos" and great melody in refrain. This song has very strong mood. It's very personal. I think Dave did give his soul to this album.
Well, Dave did give soul to all albums but to Youthanasia more.
The feelings in those songs are very strong. For example "A tout le monde" is the most beautiful song which Megadeth recorded.
Album starts with heavy drums and guitars in the "Reckoning day". "Train of consequences" is with melody in refrain also known for sharp guitars.
"Addicted to chaos" is very capricious song with nice melody in refrains. "A tout le monde" the most beautiful in album. Real jewel in Megadeth discography.
"Elysian fields" continues with "The killings road" and "Blood of heroes" in the rich filling and atmosphere. Those three songs are with interesting lyrics and refrains.
"Family tree" is song with simple lyrics but that riff is good. "Youthanasia" is created with confusing melody and proper vocals. Youthanasia makes the end of album more speed. In fact not very speed but hitting to speed. "I thought I knew it all" it's same like in Family tree but really interesting refrain, light mood.
"Black curtains" is the darkest song on album. I love how he sings black curtains.
"Victory" is one of admirable songs. Very great lyrics, vocals,melody, very catchy solo.
So all the album is very motley.
