Poll: Best Metallica Album

[St Gustopher]

I agree with the other people
why wasn't S and M included?
it was the 3rd metallica album i got about half a year ago and i still listen to it regularly

 

[Megalodon]

The early albums really, really need remastering, the 80's production is not good. Good example is when I saw then play Seek and Destroy live, it sounded so different to how it sounds on Kill 'em All. Voted Death Magnetic, because the only real difference in quality is the production and sound quality, which Death Magnetic does best thanks to its newness.
Remaster Master of Puppets and my opinion will probably cahnge.

 

[Spinwhiz]

I think anything before Load/Reload was epic but The Black Album was my favorite.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Master Of Puppets though Justice and Lightning do come close

 

[Spitfire175]

Anything after The first four is unconditionally garbage, no different form your off the shelf radio pop.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Why the hell isn't S&M on the list?

Pretty much all the best Metallica tracks, with absolutely stunning orchestral backing.

Agreed. That's definately their best album.

 

[Shiny Rabbit]

1:Master of Puppets
2:Kill 'Em All
3:Ride The Lightning

Master of Puppets was the first Metallica song I heard and and so has always had a special place in my heart but I like all of them (except for St. Anger, Garage Inc. and Death Magnetic, how can I like something I haven't heard?)

Twas pretty sweet album, really brings some tracks to life, "The thing that should not be" and "The Call of C'thulu" particularly.

 

[Yokai]

Load/Reload for sure, and I don't care if I'm in the tiny minority. It was their most creative and interesting album, and it didn't have the annoying problem ...and Justice For All and Master of Puppets did, namely, a tendency for the songs to all sound basically the same. I thought it was great.

Why isn't S&M there? WHY? That's my all time FAVORITE album, absolute genius.

Where's the box for "None of the above, because after the last three albums of over-produced corporate shilled shit has left me so cold to the Metallica experience, I want to erase the better part of my High school and College music memories and replace them with any band that wasn't going to kick me in the balls. Thank god for Soundgarden and Alice in Chains."

 

[Xeros]

Ride the Lightning, and Death Magnetic are my favorite, but I like all of them except for:

Load - Only had one good song (King Nothing)
Reload - Only had 3 good songs (Fuel, The Memory Remains, Unforgiven II)
Saint Anger - Had a few okay songs (Frantic, St. Anger, Shoot Me Again)
Garage Inc. - It wasn't bad, but it was a cover album, so to me, it doesn't count.

 

[Grahwo]

Where is S&M? THe best album they have? D=

 

[UltraParanoia]

Kill 'em all or Ride the Lightning.

Oh, and S&M doesn't count, it's essentially a greatest hit's album only with an orchestra.

That said:

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

I'm gonna have to go with ...And justice for all, black album and death magnetic.

 

[kasperTFG]

...And Justice for All. Followed by Ride the Lightning and Kill 'em All. As a group, I like the old stuff better (and also because I like pre-born again Christian Dave Mustaine), but it's impossible to deny ...And Justice for All. Anything after the Black Album is not worth the time it takes to listen to.

edit: UltraParanoia- I laughed. Out loud.

 

[child of lileth]

...And Justice for All. I don't care what anyone else says, that will always be my favorite. I can't stand anything past that (other than covers and b-side stuff), but I like most of the stuff before it also.

 

[blaqknoise]

...And Justice for All

 

[Slaanax]

I always say Black Album I dunno if its truly my personal favorite, but probably made them the most famous/money.
