 Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction: Music-Hills.com
Megadeth is one of the few metal bands to have successfully handled the transition to the '90s, and Countdown to Extinction is proof positive; although considerably more streamlined and commercially oriented than their previous efforts, it's still a fine album, and arguably one of their best.
Lead singer and guitarist Dave Mustaine's lyric-writing has improved, and the results can be heard on "Countdown to Extinction," "Symphony of Destruction," "Architecture of Aggression" (it's a rare songwriter who can make a line like that fit in a chorus), and "Foreclosure of a Dream".
This is arena metal at its best; Countdown to Extinction (a reference not to genocide, as one might assume, but to endangered species) manages the difficult trick of being commercially appealing and musically sound at the same time.

It is generally believed that Megadeth's first non-thrash album was 1990's "Rust in Peace," but I think their first non-speed metal record was 1992's "Countdown to Extinction." "Rust in Peace" was not only very speedy, it was also my favorite `Deth album of all time.
In conclusion, "Countdown to Extinction" is the sound of Megadeth evolving, while still remaining true to their roots.
No, "Countdown to Extinction" isn't as great or fast as "Peace Sells...but Who's Buying" or "Rust In Peace;" but this C.D. is still greatly entertaining, catchy, and features some great, trademark Dave and Marty guitar work, so "Countdown" is definitely still a Megadeth album.

The reissue of "Countdown to Extinction", like those of the albums that postdate it, isn't all that different from its original incarnation.
Of course, the sheen of "Countdown to Extinction" has always been a thorny issue with some longtime fans, and this further polishing isn't likely to remedy those too-slick criticisms that have increasingly dogged this album with the passing of time.
To go back to 1992 for a moment, you should remember that the almost chart-topping "Countdown to Extinction" was a major turning point for Megadeth as well as for the thrash metal movement they'd helped lead throughout the late '80s.

 Metalopolis.net - MEGADETH - Countdown To Extinction
Asi nejmelodičtější skladbou je "Countdown To Extinction", na které se podíleli všichni členové skupiny, což v minulosti bylo téměř nemožné.
Dle mého názoru se „Countdown To Extinction“ jen těžko dá označit za vrchol Mustainovy tvorby, i přesto že svého času jsem měl tohle album hodně rád a dodnes u mě funguje jistá nostalgická příchylnost k veškeré starší tvorbě MEGADETH, vrcholem pro mě zůstává album „Rust In Peace“.
Pravdou ale je, že i na „Countdown To Extinction“ je dost povedených pasáží a celkový dojem zůstává i po letech kladný, na svou dobu nadstandardní kousek poctivé thrasheřiny.

 RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction
Rust In Peace was an intense piece of high-tempo technicality and one could argue that some of that charm is missing with Countdown; luckily these songs are so good that you don't really notice the "new" direction, this is just heavy in a another more controlled way.
When turning to a metaphorical explanation I imagine Countdown To Extinction as a heavyweight machine, slowly but firmly crushing everything in its path with precise and well thought of motions.
An architecture of aggression repeatedly spreading those sweating bullets, knowing nothing about the term captive honour, bringing the countdown to extinction just before swaying to the symphony of destruction that finally takes it crashing to the ground with ashes in mouth, slowly mumbling "this was my life", OK that got a bit out of control.

 Rolling Stone : Megadeth: Countdown To Extinction : Music Reviews
Megadeth, which used to be notorious for its frequent upheavals, seems to be settling down.
Not only has its outspoken leader, guitarist and singer, Dave Mustaine, gotten married and become a father since the release of Rust in Peace in 1990, but the band's fifth full-length album, Countdown to Extinction, is the second consecutive LP to be recorded by its present lineup.
While Countdown echoes the band's earlier work thematically, it's stylistically disappointing: The music, which is considerably more subdued than anything Megadeth has ever done, sounds formulaic; the musicianship is pedestrian; and the album as a whole seems to have been written for marketability rather than merit.
