Bolded part - that's not what you said. You said "But if I had to choose, probably Megadeth, for the simple fact they never released a Black Album of sorts." Nothing about 'to my knowledge'. That's a pretty definitive statement implying you know both of their catalogues well, and saying that Megadeth never commercialised their sound or made more accessible music, which isn't true. They softened their sound gradually throughout the 90s. Listen to something like Wanderlust or Ecstasy off Risk - very accessible stuff.

Not that I'm really bothered either way, but I think your reasoning (at least as you originally expressed it) is flawed.

You didn't read my whole text, or chose to leave out a relevant part of it. Here is my direct quote: "Both are good bands technically but neither has a killer singer like Maiden has (different styles, I know, but it makes a great difference to me), so I never bothered too much since I would prefer the great vocalists..."

Like I said, I never bothered too much with neither, but that does not prevent me from saying Deth has never released a completely pop, purely commercial album as Metallica's "Black" one. I never heard anything like it from theirs, so, to me, it is indeed a hard never. No flaw in my thinking. Youthnasia is not similar to it, specially the kind of production behind it, but if you think it is, it is your opinion.

The issue is you said it was a 'simple fact' that they never released an album like The Black Album, then you then admitted you don't actually know their full catalogue. How could you say it's a fact if you don't actually know their whole catalogue? Listen to Cryptic Writings and (especially) Risk, and tell me they didn't release a commercial album.
