I don't know about anyone else, but I thought St. Anger was trash.

When I was listening to it the first time, I said "WTF happened to the drums?"

Get ?S&M? for a nice summary of Metallica?s more popular stuff. It?s a nice introduction to Metallica, but realize the symphony is atypical :p

Metallica goes through distinctive stages, so old and new sound very different. Some people don?t like change and just want to hear the same stuff regurgitated.

This is sort of an oxy-moronic situation. You're asking for the best of something that isn't good.

You can have 5 piles of sh*t sitting in front of you, and one of them will certainly be the best.

That said, if you don't like Metallica, then no need to post.
