	Cryptic Writings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cryptic Writings is an album by heavy metal band Megadeth, released in 1997.
		An EP with instrumental versions of some of the songs were released the same year.
		Continuing the trend from Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings features fewer songs critical of government and politics in favor of more personal songs.

	MEGADETH
		Now, 15 years later, with the release of their eighth CD Cryptic Writings (Capitol Records), Megadeth continues to enjoy the success and longevity that very few rock bands have been able to possess.
		But so much has happened between Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings in the music world...everything is different; the fashion, the haircut, the sound of the music.
		We also wanted Cryptic Writings to move forward, into new uncharted territory for us, and that was specifically where Bud gave us a lot of direction.

		Our fans consider us the Mercedes of metal." If that is true, then Cryptic Writings (Capitol), Megadeth's latest, clearly shows them to have all their pistons pumping.
		A true headbanger's delight, the album gives no indication that Mustaine, guitarist Marty Friedman, bassist David Ellefson and drummer Nick Menza are ready to abandon their patented speed-riffing attack in favor of a more alternative, grunge, punk, pop or, heaven forbid, electronica approach.
		GW: The quality of the songwriting on Cryptic Writings is similar to that of the material on Countdown to Extinction, as opposed to Youthanasia, which many thought was a little below Megadeth's standards.

		The group's seventh album Cryptic Writings is its strongest release since 1990's Rust in Peace.
		Granted, there's not much innovation on Cryptic Writings, but in an age of self-centered angst and watered down Nirvana riffs, Megadeth's unapologetic metal fury is as refreshing as a dip in the pool on a hot summer day.
		Rating 3/5 And probably was since the two studio albums that followed Cryptic Writings were in the correct order.

		Cryptic Writings is actually the album of maturity.
		Even though Megadeth does not search for the killer riff anymore, Cryptic Writings has powerful and speed songs like 'The Disintegrators', 'Vortex' or 'FFF', that could have been on the previous albums.
		The very god 'Use The Man' does not sound like any other song, with an intro that seems to come from a radio of the 60's and an unconventional and catchy structure, even if it is a bit disturbing.

		Mustaine writes, "I was happy just to finish this record, because things were unraveling fast, and I was very sad to have to relive this record while remixing it," and you can feel his pain.
		After all, there is some great music here on Cryptic Warnings; it just wasn't of interest to Megadeth fans, most of whom had given up on the band by this point.
		Given this underlying sentiment of despair, Cryptic Warnings is somewhat of a depressing album to listen to presently.

	Megadeth--Cryptic Writings
		Listening to it at the time of this writing, I can assure every metal fan, that they will adore this.
		A few of the songs on Cryptic Writings are a little more commercial sounding than what most Megadeth fans are used to.
		I have found that playing Cryptic Writings at certain headbanging levels, causes the window panes to rattle, so there should have been some kind of warning on the cover saying that it can shatter windows if played at certain sound levels.

	Feature Reviews
		The lyrics and vocals are quite inferior to the brilliant Youthanasia album, and while the band proves that they can still wail with the best of them, this album simply does not offer the diversity of some of the previous albums.
		If you, like myself, weren't thrilled with Cryptic Writings, you probably won't be impressed with this one either.
		I like this album alot, and compared to 'Cryptic Writings' it shows that Dave and the boys have matured better with Dan Huff at the helm.

		Amazon Review - Cryptic Writings, Megadeth CD In 1996, Dave Mustaine's former band (Metallica) alienated their cult following by releasing "Load," an album which was very commercial, simplified, and alternative.
		And even though Dave Mustaine and Megadeth would eventually follow suit and release "Risk" in 1999, they first made an album (1997's "Cryptic Writings") which pleased all metal fans, and helped make the Metallica fans less angry.
		"Cryptic Writings," which is kind of like a combinations of Megadeth's last two albums (1992's "Countdown to Extinction" and 1994's "Youthanasia"), is full of crunchy riffs, memorable hooks, and famous, acrobatic guitar solos from axemen Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman.

		As said before, Cryptic Writings is not really a 'guitar-album', but the great lyrism of Marty Friedman is still there, on 'Vortex' or the excellent 'She-Wolf', that alternates violent verses and melodic choruses.
		Finally, we can quote Dave Mustaine, who said that Cryptic Writings is the accession of Megadeth to a certain professionalism.
		Rob Halford still sings like a god though hes starting to get old and isnt moving as much on stage as he used to.

	Megadeth: Cryptic Writings - Review by Gerald Tan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Who else could pontificate about social ills over a catch phrase like "have cool will travel" or begin a song with a line like "The mother of all that is evil, her lips are poisonous venom." You know you want to laugh, but the music's pounding too hard, and you're too busy singing along.
		CRYPTIC WRITINGS is easily Megadeth's most powerful album since 1990's RUST IN PEACE, and it even sounds better.
		Cryptic writings is awsome it is my 3rd fav album, i luv RUST IN PEACE AND COUNTDOWN MORE, BUT THIS ALBUM iS UP THERE WITH EM.

		With Youthanasia, Dave Mustaine began moving Megadeth away from its thrash roots, incorporating synthesizers into their sound and writing subtle, textured songs.
		Cryptic Writings continues this evolution, which unfortunately reads better than it plays.
		Megadeth doesn't quite have the skill or imagination to craft such ambitious material; they sound better playing thrash, which they only occasionally do on Cryptic Writings.

	Transcending the Mundane: Review of 'Cryptic Writings' by Megadeth
		From the interviews and news clips that I read, I couldn't help but anticipate Megadeth’s latest attempt to return to their former glory, Cryptic Writings.
		The album has its high points; several songs attack right from the start and don’t let up.
		If I had it to do all over again, I’d probably still buy Cryptic Writings just to hear the excellent "Trust" and "Sin," and the occassional moments when Megadeth rocks like they’re capable of.

		Following the release of their small album Hidden Treasures, which was followed by Youthnasia, Megadeth released Cryptic Writings.
		Many fans were disappointed with this album because once Countdown to Extinction was released, they slowly moved towards regular metal instead of thrash.
		It follows the SAME pattern of writing as the other songs.

	Tower Records - Cryptic Writings [Remaster] - Megadeth
		While Metallica was busy climbing to the top of the thrash-metal heap, Dave Mustaine and Megadeth were quietly carving out a niche for themselves, distinguished by intelligent songwriting and a progressive approach that avoids erratic genre-jumping.
		Mustaine's breadth of song subjects continues to expand on CRYPTIC WRITINGS, with topics ranging from stalkers ("I'll Get Even") and drug addiction ("Use The Man") to Armageddon wrapped in a cloak of punk anarchy ("The Disintegrators")
		Some of CRYPTIC WRITINGS' cooler touches include the electric sitar on "A Secret Place" and the acoustic guitar, mellotron and synths on the multi-part opening track "Trust".

		FFF (Fight For Freedom) is another fast song which is pretty cool.
		I'm sure there's some other good songs here that I've forgotten to mention, but I'm just too tired to write about them too.
		This is a pretty decent metal cd, but it cannot be compared to Megadeth's best work.

		Have Gun/Will Travel was the name of a TV show during the 1970s or so which was origonally supposed to star Bruce Lee, but was someone else instead because of racial issues.
		All I can say about this one is that it seem that the band wanted to have a little fun and get away from writing extremely meaningful songs all the time.
		This is a cool song about a 'she wolf,' somewhere along the lines of a wherewolf, I guess.
