Megadeth se snaží o úspěch arénového thrashe a daří se jim to. Na "Countdown to Extinction" vyměnili Megadeth své rozvláčné, progresivní skladby za sevřené, kompaktně napsané a zahrané písně, které se lépe hodí pro rádia a MTV éter, nebo spíše pro širokou základnu fanoušků rockové hudby po celém světě. Album se dostalo na druhé místo americké hitparády Billboard a v roce 1992 získalo dvojnásobnou platinu. Countdown To Extinction bylo v roce 1992 nominováno na cenu Grammy v kategorii "Nejlepší metalový výkon".
