^Hell no, there's some really great stuff on that album. Unfortunately some filler too. I can't remember what I voted, probably Master, but could as well have been Ride, Justice or Load. Yes, I love Load and especially Metallica's best song ever closing that album.

And Justice for All for me. Though I'm not a big fan by a long shot, their albums up to the Black are all pretty good to listen to once in a while.

AJFA, the most complete in terms of composition, lyrics and innovation... (Master comes close)

I think the 1990s stuff wouldn't have been as reviled if they:

  1. Had sold under another name than Metallica. You know, it's kinda stupid to sell an album under the Metallica name when it's not actually metal. Wink
  2. Got someone else than James Hetfield to sing... sorry, but he can't do normal rock vocals.Ouch

^ Possibly, Load and Reload could have been hailed as decent records if under a different name

I'm new to Mettalica, as in two weeks ago, got RTL, MoP, and AJFA
have no opinion what my favourite is yet, been concentrating mainly on MoP.
On AJFA, I can recognise some great ideas musically but the production is dreadful, what on earth was the band thinking? didn't they recognise something was wrong with the production ?

My favourite is And Justice for all , but I'll vote for St Anger. One of the most underrated records ever. Who cares if it does not have guitar solos and the drums are horrible?? The riffs are really addictive and the record is worth a listen time after time.

^Wow, someone who understands Thumbs Up I like the piercing quality the snare drum sound has and the songs are mostly very good if often overlong. Still the weakest Metallica album with ReLoad, but hey, I'm a fanboy anyway. It was so cool to see Jason playing with the band again in the R&R Hall of Fame ceremony.

OK - I'll be the first - I actually prefer The Black Album to all their other output; not that the other albums are bad as such; Master is a good album & Justice could have been if it weren't for the production, but overall I have always loved The Black Album.

But John Petrucci can actually PLAY lead guitar though. It's clearly not Kirk Hammett when the guitarist knows how to bend in tune and do vibrato properly. And not butcher his own solos when playing liveLOL

Although, yes, some reviews on PA liken the album to Metallica, but it has way too much groove metal riffing rather than thrash metal riffing going on to be properly compared to the Metallica's thrash metal stuff.
