Well, it´s the album that I think many Metallica fans thought they were betrayed. I loved it immediately when it came and still love it! My favourite Metallica albums are:

1. Master of Puppets

2. ...And Justice For All

3. Metallica

4. St. Anger

Like all the other albums too, Death Magnetic is the only album I can´t listen.

wait... you'd rather listen to St Anger than Kill'em All?

Oh Christ, this again...among Metallica fans you seemed not can like St. Anger. I have thought in the first moment I´ve heard it it´s great album. Really I think they did with it a lot better job as in Load or Reload, it has lots in common with Justice for all, not least the very dark atmosphere and really rude sounds that I really love! Of course I like a lot also Kill `em all and Ride the Lightning, but I think in those albums they put out their youth energy, in Masters they mature and made after that those other three great albums. But yes, I am also those who likes Lulu and I am not continuing this, because it´s waste of time. If you don´t understand why I like those Metallica-albums, then you don´t.

Only disappointment I have had with Metallica is Death Magnetic, they have told later they had meetings with Rick Rubin where they tried to find out the deepest substance of Metallica. They tried to make an album what fans wanted and you can really hear it in that album.

sorry if my question upset you, it's not my intention, I was surprised by your post.

The youthful energy is the exact reason I enjoy early Metallica.

I agree with what you say about DM, I don't like it that much either, the songs drag a bit. I rarely listen to it.

Sorry if I was too attacking towards you. I have had a lot of s**te towards me in some other forums with that opinion. I guess there are someones who like also Death Magnetic, that´s ok to me.

Really loved specially in the youth age all those four first Metallica albums, we used to watch also a lot "Cliff Em all" when we drank beer. But when I have got older, I have also started to respect calmer things also in music, but of course sometimes it´s fun to put some Metallica on and even mosh (not many times, my neck can´t stand it anymore)!

Ride the Lightning. It was the most innovative and groundbreaking

I really love Lulu. Not heard other Metallica albums, but I'm not Trolling.
I think the experiment of the band and Lou Reed worked successfully for me.

For a long time my favourite album was Ride The Lightning then it was The Black Album but now it's Master Of Puppets. And now I'm sure this is their best album. Favourite songs: Battery and Sanitarium.

I used to say Ride The Lightening a lot. Upon revisiting the album not long ago, I only love the opener, Fade to Black and Call of Ktulu. The rest is just 80's Hard Rock.
Death Magnetic, however..........simply AWESOME.

... And Justice For All , closely followed by Ride and Master. I like though all their first 6 albums. Only St. anger is a dud.

1-Death Magnetic
2-Hardwired
3-Ride the Lightning
4-...And Justice for All
5- Kill 'em All

Then the rest, except for the vomit-inducing abominations most of us call St. Anger and Lulu.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
