Mustaine said that the album ended up having a musicality that fans weren't expecting:

“We had a negative reaction with “Risk” because people expected speed and the kind of Thrash sound. If that album had been released as a Dave Mustaine project, people would have loved it. But because it’s Megadeth, they expected Megadeth. And that was my mistake. I should have called it a solo album. But I had the guys from the band there, it would have been totally disrespectful to do that.”
