Me too (the part about S&M). But I vote for "...and Justice For All" since I think it's one of the best albums of the '80.

I'm a BIG Metallica fan and I have ALL their albums. I say their best one is "Master Of Puppets" Clap, followed by "...And Justice For All" Clap and "Ride The Lightning" Clap. I think their early works can be considerated Prog Related, hope someday they'll be added to ProgArchives ...

Yes, it's true ... but it has to be with the distortion. Really I can not hear so much the bass on metal bands. But "... And Justice For All" has an excellent sound and ACCURACY, very well recorded.

Lars, James and Kirk went on record to say that they regularly turned Jason down or tuned him out on "AJFA".  That's why no one can hear him.Cry
 
My fave is MASTER OF PUPPETS, followed by RIDE THE LIGHTNING and ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.  I also like ST. SNGER, although it's messy as hell.

Kill 'Em All - 4.5/5 (Rough at the edges, but amazing).
Ride The Lightning - 4.75/5 (Nearly perfect, but "Creeping Death" is too long and repetitive).
Master of Puppets - 4.9/5 (I just don't like "The Thing That Should Not Be")
...And Justice For All - 4.6666/5 (Gets a bit noodly - I could care less about hearing Jason Useless).
Metallica - 4.25/5 (No more adventurous meanderings, but very slick, and a colossal sound).
Load - 1/5 (tripe)
ReLoad - 0/5 (why did I waste my money)
St. Anger - 1/5 (I almost like bits of it - but very dull overall).
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Orion is incredible. It's what I was raised on on middle school. LOL

And by the way, who the hell voted for St. Anger?! Hope it was a joke...

Kill'em All
Raw energy - fast and angry. Hetfield's vocal sucks. Overall good and interesting debut, but nothing special, it just can't grab me.

Ride The Lightning
Now we're talking. Thrash masterpiece. Everything is in the right place, album doesn't drag. Riffs are powerful, intricate and catchy, solid sound, technique is great also. My fav.

Master Of Puppets
I've never understood what's so great and groundbreaking about this album. Decent thrash. The first tracks are awesome, but then it slows down and only at the end we have great tracks. It's too fillish to my ears.

...And Justice For All
As thrashiest as it gets, but it's sheer technique. There's no room for soul here, except for masterpiece such as One and few other great tracks. All in all, superb at virtuosity and decent at emotions.

Metallica
It's been sooo long since I've heard it (maybe I should check it again?)...I don't even remember is it really that bad, as I thought of it back then. Well, I don't like it. It just doesn't appeal to me.

Load
Same as above

Reload
Same as above

St. Anger
Actually I refuse to listen to it. I've heard St.Anger, Frantic an couple of other songs on radio and deeply disliked it.

My fav is The Black Album, although the previous albums are all very good, specially Master Of Puppets.
I also like Load very much. They changed their style but IMO the songwriting is very good. Re-Load is OK but weaker than Load.
St Anger is rather bad.
