100%. Dave is more meathead cringe but he's a better pop songwriter and way more fun. I still think he should have stuck to his guns and not tried to re-rebrand by going back to thrash. Risk wasn't perfect but it was his last good album and "Die Dead Enough" is the last Megadeth song I actually care about and it was the one song off The System Has Failed that wasn't trying to cater to thrash nerds. The best I can say about post-AJFA Metallica is that Load and Reload had some fun tunes and St. anger would have been a halfway decent album if they'd chopped every song in half.
