What's your one favorite Metallica album?

[Chooie]

Justice and Lightning are my faves, but the one that gets me into a seriously rockin' mood is the black album. I also liked the idea behind s&m, but i think the execution was just a little off.

I'm partial to "And More Money for Us."

 

[vi edit]

Master, S&M, Justice, Black, Kill, Ride, Load, Reload.

And in that order

Don't know about album, but "Enter Sandman" is their best song.

 

[Swag1138]

Dont have a fave metallica album. Never liked em enough to buy one. The only song I own of theirs, is the one from the MI2 soundtrack, which I got for free.

Ride the Lighting = Good
Kill'em all = Good
Master of Puppets = Good
And Justice for All = Good
Anything after Justice = Suck

Load, Reload and Black and any other new stuff suck big blue balls bigtime..

I used to like early Metallica. How did they get to be "alternative"?

R-I-D-E T-H-E L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G

And it isn't close

Justice was there last good album, Black album was OK at best, Load and ReLoad are complete vomit. I bought Load the day it came out, listened to it once and threw the CD out the window(seriously). It is an ebarassment, it sounds like G&R meets the BackdoorBoys.

S&M was decent, though hearing Call of the Ktulu butchered as it was with so much potential(the song was written for that type of performance) was very disappointing, Cliff would have made that there best album ever.

"How did they get to be "alternative"?"

Cliff died. Justice was still heavily influenced by Burton, he is credited with some of the song writing and clearly they were still very much aware of his death and what he brought to them in terms of music(he was the only "musician" in the traditional sense of the word).

"Favorite song: The Four Horsemen"

You probably know this, but check out the song "Mechanic" by Megadeath on the album "Killing is my Business and Business is Good", Mustaine co-wrote the Four Horseman and had an alternate version of the song, with different lyrics, on his first album. Dave does play it better then Kurt IMHO

 

[thedarkwolf]

I always like how one band had Seek And Destroy and the other did Search and Destroy hehe

Is it just me or has Megadeth actually gotten to the point were there albums are now better than Metallica. I really like there last couple.

To reiterate

Ride the Lighting = Good
Kill'em all = Good
Master of Puppets = Good
And Justice for All = Good
Anything after Justice = Suck


I used to like early Metallica. How did they get to be "alternative"?
They got that way due to the fact that in the early 90's "alternative" was selling records, heavy metal and "hair" bands were not. Therefore, being the money grubbers that they were, they made a business decision. Does anybody remember a couple of years ago that rumor going around that they were all gay, and that Lars and Layne Stanley of Alice in Chains were going to announce thier "marriage" on tour. I never really assumed it to be true, but thought it was a way that they could start to make "electronica" which was the "next big thing" at the time. Oh how I yearned for the rumor to be true, imagine all the redneck homophobic boys having to reevaluate themselves because their idols were now gay. The thought of that made me laugh so hard.


Throw Garage Days on that list of Good above

I've got something to say....
