'Of Mice and Men', 'Scorpion' and 'Tears in a Vial' are some of my favorite Megadeth tracks across their entire discography. I've got some nostalgic feelings for the album too, so that might cloud my judgment a bit. And yeah, 'Die Dead Enough' is pretty damn catchy. Possibly the shortest verse ever too.
I mean, no, but I will say that Scorpion is a great song.

And Batlord is stupid don't bother with Risk.

I feel like it gets its dues more or less. I guess it's not very common to hear it put alongside Rust in Peace or Peace Sells though.
