Best Metallica Album?

[disrupter006]

just wondered what u guys thought...mines gotta b st. anger because im really into the heavy guitar stuff these days...a close second is probably reload...i dont like their old stuff much because of the sound quality of it.

[DankHero]

i like Master of Puupets and And Justice For All, and St.Anger well i like em all so yup

[Viper]

Old stuff>>>>New stuff.

[disrupter006]

^^^i beg to differ

[Blaksmoke]

Never heard any of them...

[disrupter006]

...wtf**^^??

[C.J.]

I like AJFA.

But, I am a huge Metallica Fanboy, and they have yet to put out a CD I don't love.

[disrupter006]

ur one of the first old school fans that actually likes St. Anger (that i have met)

[goku2057]

All of them are good (Minus St. Anger) but the Black Album is my favorite.

[Skull Kid]

St. Anger = horrible. Load and Reload = bad, but not as bad as St. Anger

The rest = 1337

The best = black cover

[nolifeking]

ugh, the black album is horrible, i dont know why people like it. Saint Anger, Load and Reload are absolute garbage. And Justice for All is alright, but the production value went way down on that album, and thats the album where they started to tone everything down. In Justice for All is the newest metallica album I can stand, everything after that is just bad.

[Perfect Agent]

...And Justice For All is probally my favourite. Everything after that is really shit, especially St. Anger. I have no idea why people bum off it so much.

Only because you are 15 and dont know any better!! Metal poser that you are.

I stopped listening to Metallica when the Black album came out. I dont mind change, and I am not afraid of it, but they went in a direction that I wasnt prepared to follow.

Why dont you have the album Garage Days Re revisited? That was prime Metallica!! Best album in my book. I still own the tape to this day, along with all the old albums.

I remember when Metallica's slogan was, "Metal up your ass!!"

Now its more along the lines of, "Flowers up your ass!" (Or in Lar's case, big hairy cocks!)

Poor Cliff Burton must be rolling in his grave because of what Metallica has become.

[Perfect Agent]

Another point, kinda following on from CC's insult. St. Anger is like the n00b Metallica album. People, well, the n00bs were like, "omg this is the shiznit, I loooooooooooove metallica!!1!!1". And they say this when all they have heard is like St. Anger and Frantic on MTV.

[Peter]

Who the feck put St anger as the best album? I fucking hate their new songs, frantic pisses me off, st anger is.....adequate. Ride the lightning and Master of Puppets kick arse

[disrupter006]

I put it as best album because its my fav. of them all...YES I HAVE HEARD THEM ALL (my dad has a few of the old ones) ... u call me a poser because i like something different than u...w/e i am definately NOT A METAL POSER...i listen to a wide variety of music ... i frankly like new metal (nu...is not a word im afraid) it has a cleaner sound than that of the 80's.

sry for double post but...it says FAVORITE ALBUM not BEST ALBUM...best album i know would bring in alot of confrontation but it seems that some people still dont get it...

[orcus116]

Ride The Lightning. It was a close call between that and MoP but I find myself listening to RTL more. The guitar riff on the song Ride The Lightning at about 2:35 has to be one of my favorite riffs now. Anyone who says St Anger is the best shouldn't even label themselves as a Metallica fan.

Why wouldn't favorite also count for best? Isn't something being "the best" also count as what that person conceives at "the best" album based on opinion which is generally the same thing as calling something a favorite.

[Cobra Commander]

Im sorry but if anyone says that the newer music that Metallica makes is better then the old they really have no clue as to what Metallica was all about. I listen to everything except Country and Rap, but even I know crap when I hear it. Every band changes. Mega Deth, Slayer, Pantara, Death Angel, Ministry, and Sepultura (just to name a few) all went through a change, but none like Metallica. Ive been to every concert of theirs when they played in Vancouver, and even a few of the smaller venues in the states, way before they made it big. Yes have seen shows when they still played in bars. A few years ago they played at Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver and it was the worst show I had ever been to. James couldnt even sing "Seek And Destroy" and had to pass the buck over to Jason. I was so ashamed to call myself a fan from that day on. Then a few months later they came out with the "Black" album. Well I couldnt believe just how far gone they were. If you talk to older fans, much like me, you will hear us say, "Oh Metallica will put out another "REAL" heavy metal album again.", but alas, this is never going to happen. They are old and washed up. The music now is boring at best, with none of the fast paced grind that used to be in every song they did. Yes this is just my opinion. One I will die with. But it sickens me to the bone when I hear new albums being called better then the old. Its wrong, dead wrong. When you goto heaven may Cliff go easy on your soul!

[Perfect Agent]

Usually people like the best things...

[Orgasm Simulator Robot]

yo guys, stop bitching about disrupter. the dood has an offspring sig, which means he listens to crappy music... so leave him alone, okay ?

and their best ablum is either Ride The Lightning or And Justice for All.

[disrupter006]

offspring...not crappy...i just dont like listening to the mainstream shit

[Yes]

mines gotta b st. anger because im really into the heavy guitar stuff these days...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

[peasantlover]

You tell him Yes, Velvet Underground is way better than Metallica ever was anyway

[/sarcasm]

[goku2057]

I grew up with Mettallica...And I'm only 18. They rock, there newer stuff sucks, and the Black Album PWNS all. PERIOD.

[TheGreenElf]

I personally think St Anger was crap...they didn't even try, compared to things like Master of Puppets...I am not much of a metallica fan anymore though.

[disrupter006]

its funny how not having alcohol can change james' writing style....

[disrupter006]

ok since most of u say that the older albums are best than which one should i buy... im only gonna buy one though...Master of Puppets or ...And Justice for All

[Viper]

DL some songs from each and then buy the actual albumn you like best because both kick ass.

[Yes]

You tell him Yes, Velvet Underground is way better than Metallica ever was anyway

[/sarcasm]

Metallica is highly overrated.
Their only good album is AJFA.
The rest of their stuff is mediocre at best... and their new stuff is simply horrible.

And yes, VU is infinitely better than Metallica.

[BigChops]

Ride the Lightning is my favorite Metallica album. So many classics on that album, first they start it off with Fight Fire With Fire, which is a savage song, then it goes into Ride The Lightning, with some of the coolest riffs ever. Fuck, then you hit For Whom The Bell Tolls, one of Metallica's best. Fade to Black, an awesome epic song with some great fingerpicking. Trapped Under Ice and Escape are the weakest points in the album, but are still some cool songs, but then you have Creeping Death, which is another of Metallica's best. That short bit during the middle, "Die, by my hand," I still get chills at that part. Then it closes off with my favorite instrumental by Metallica Call Of Ktulu, which shows off some of Cliff's great songwriting and bass skills, and may be my favorite album closer of all time.

[orcus116]

ok since most of u say that the older albums are best than which one should i buy... im only gonna buy one though...Master of Puppets or ...And Justice for All

Try stuff from all of them. Start with:

Master of Puppets
Sanitarium
Battery
Orion
Ride The Lightning
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Fade To Black
The Call of Ktulu

[Sendok]

I only have St. Anger, and the black album...so ill go w/ the black album

[/dumbass]

Thanks for totally ignoring every point I've ever made in order to twist around the things I said to make a laughably exaggerated attempt at making me look foolish.

You lose.

im really glad im not the only one that thinks the beetles are not great...i dont see whats so great about them

[disrupter006]

[Viper]

[disrupter006]

after listening to this almost 4 times through ... r the others as good?

[BigChops]

You have to be kidding me. Along with the Rolling Stones the Beatles wre one of the first real bands, as in it wasn't one performer with a backup band, the band was identified as a whole. Second Beatlemania was a absolute phenomenon, that was topped with the Beatles holding the top 5 spots on the billboard top 100. That in itself is a feat that has never been even close to replicated and I think will never happen again. Then with the change in music during the late 60's from a rock and roll style to a more experimental psychedelic sound, and The Beatles were at the head of that too. They broke barriers in sound recording technology and how instruments were played. They pioneered the use of the sitar, backwards masking, heavy distortion, and more. Then there's the music, which is phenomenal. They arguably created the concept of a concept album with the release of Sgt. Pepper's. There is even more to The Beatles greatness, but I think you get the point.

Pretty close. They each have some really great stand out songs too.


'One' being my favorite.
