Hard Harry412 can report that it is pretty darn good! This album is noticeably slower then their previous ones, but that is because they are trying out different things and attempting to branch out as song-writers and is to be commended! After all you can always hear Megadeths fast aggressive early songs when you actually go to one of their concerts! (or buy one of their live albums too!)
'Youthanasia' is bolstered by a couple of good singles! 'Train of Conseqences' is a totally heavy almost groove metal type of song that one could argue is riffing off of Pantera or even Helmet. I am sure some hard-core Megadeth fans probably don't like it, but Hard Harry412 has always liked it.
Also 'A Tout Le Monde' is one of their better songs that show-cases their new found slowed down melodic side. The main riff is pretty cool and Hard Harry412 wonders if if would sound cool if it was done faster in a speed metal style!
Overall 'Youthanasia' is a totally worthy addition to the Megadeth catalogue. Also it shows them experimenting with their sound a few years before Metallica did it with 'Load' and I think that overall 'Youthanasia' is better than 'Load'. This round goes to Megadeth!!!
