Garage Inc.

Master of Puppets

Ride the Lightning

Kill 'Em All!

Load

Re-Load

 

 

By the way anew album will be out soon.

[Guest Mr. Adam]

Right, here goes. And in brackets are my favourite songs off each.

 

1:Ride The Lightning. (For Whom The Bell Tolls, Creeping Death)

2:...And Justice For All. (One, Blackened)

3:Kill 'Em All. (Hit The Lights, Seek and Destroy)

4:Master of Puppets.(Battery, Leper Messiah)

5:Metallica(Unforgiven, Misery)

6: Garage Inc(Whiskey in the Jar, Am I Evil?)

7:Load/Re-Load(King Nothing, Fuel) It's from the same recording session so it's the same album. That might just be my thinking though.

 

I ain't putting S&M on as an album cos it's a DVD first and foremost for me. That along with Cunning Stunts is a quality live performance.

I don't mean to put Kill 'Em All and Load / Re-Load so close together because Kill 'Em All is Sooooooo much better than those to craptastic pieces of fecal matter.

 

Load / Re-Load (Both killed Metallica for me, so they both are equally bad)

I probably like Load and Re-Load more than most, but there are some damn good songs on there, and I've always snickered at the "sold out" argument that usually accompanies people's dislike of those discs. Honestly, I think all the Metallica albums are good, even Kill 'Em All, which I ranked last.

I don't think anyone can appreciate how influencial and special Kill Em All is unless they were around the time of its release. My cousin was, he was the person who got me into Metallica, and compared to what else had been done, Kill 'Em All pulled out a very large gun and blew them all away.

 

Kill 'Em All, along with Appetite For Destruction, Anti-Christ Superstar & 1984 (Van Halen), remains apart of the select few which i call my favourite albums. A true masterpeice.

Converge, you said "Re re"

[Guest DrTom]

I don't think anyone can appreciate how influencial and special Kill Em All is unless they were around the time of its release.

I was around then, and heard Kill 'Em All not long after its release. I don't think the band hit their stride until Ride The Lightning, though, which I thought was orders of magnitude better than Kill 'Em All. Kill 'Em All was like a declaration of intent: we intend to kick your ass with this music. It just took them until their next album to really follow up on that.

[Guest Sassquatch]

Being a huge former fan of Metallica I must say that I enjoyed most of their albums. I saw both sides of the coin in the "Metallica sold out" arguement so I am divivded on the matter.

 

Anyways, I chose "Ride the Lightning" as the best Metallica album because I like "For Whom The Bell Tolls" the most out of any other Metallica songs and I feel that the album has some awesome songs on it to boot all around.

 

Anyways:

[Guest DARRYLXWF]

Ride the Lightning: I voted for this album, because every song except Trapped Under Ice (which is still rather good) kicks ass. Fight Fire with Fire is an awesome opener, followed by the title track which I consider to be highly underrated and also includes one of my favourite Guitar solos. Follow THAT up with For Whom the Bell Tolls, a set list favourite, and THEN you've got my personal favourite tune FADE TO BLACK. Good Fuck this album kicks ass. I should also mention that Creeping Death kicks ass.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

I'll just say this; my two favourites are Metallica and Ride The Lighting. I sway back and forth between them constantly now as my choice for number one, but just for continuities sake I'll stick closely with my longtime choice of Metallica as the superior album. Classics like "Fade To Black", "Trapped Under Ice" and "Fight Fire With Fire" are on my doorstep, however. The black album is just lucky it doesn't have the oft drawn out songs Ride has or it would be in for it...
