Favourite Metallica Album

I'd rank them:
Master of Puppets
Ride The Lightning
And Justice for All
Kill 'em All
Death Magnetic
Metallica

AJFA might have made top spot, but the production really brings down the quality.. they might as well have hired Jason after recording that album; it would have sounded no different. (not to mention the drums sounding like a $300 kit)

RTL for me.
I can't stand AJFA anymore because I've become a production snob and the guitar tone and almost complete absence of bass guitar just ruins it for me

No Garage Inc., no vote.

Ride The Lightning for me. It has it all. Trash metal anthems like Trapped Under Ice or Creeping Death. Classic tunes like For Who The Bell Tolls or Metallica's best ballad which is Fade To Black and a kick ass instrumental with Ktulu. There absolutely no waste on this album. And Justice For All on second place and Master Of Puppets on third.

I must go with the very few who seem to like The Black Album. It's the only Metallica album I like as a whole, most of the songs are pretty good and enjoyable for me, while the rest of the albums just have a few songs which I really like. I also just haven't been able to understand what all the fuss about Master of Puppets is, I find that album rather dull and almost like none of it's songs, plus I've never been able to get into the way they play on this album (for me it sounds kind of too amateur, but certainly I listen to something different than most other people); the only songs I like on this album are Welcome Home and Orion, and even those ones aren't among my favourite Metallica songs: for me Fade to Black is much better than Welcome Home, and Call of Ktulu is much better than Orion, so just about anytime I would rather listen to Ride the Lightning over Master of Puppets. Oh yeah, and I don't really undestand either how can St. Anger have more votes than Death Magnetic (2 vs 0 votes at the moment), I didn't really like Death Magnetic so much, but St. Anger must be the worst thing Metallica ever did.

...And Justice For All, but just because of One

voted ...and justice for all, but it could've been any album until ..and justice, all of them are awesomee

Ride the Lightning hands down, by far better than AJFA which is surprisingly voted so high on this page. Actually IMO AJFA is their weakest album in their period 1983-1991.
