Favorite Metallica Album

What's your favorite Metallica album?

Ride The Lightning, without a doubt. Too many songs on it I love... Basically the entire album.

I can't pick one! My top 3 are "Ride the Lightning", "Master Of Puppets", and "...And Justice For All".

'nuff said!

Master of Puppets - better was never released and won't be.

...And Justice For All. VERY underrated. I love that album.

Master. Remaster this baby and give me some bonus tracks.

Ride the Lightning to be sure. Not a weak song on there

i'm gonna get rubbish thrown at me in the streets for saying this but i like the black album the most. i weren't around for all the 'sellout!' cries so i don't hold a grudge against it like many people do

Kill 'Em All but like Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets nearly as much. Kill 'Em All was the album that got me into Metallica and thrash in general.

Ride The Lightning

Ride The Lightning or ...And Justice For All

yeah, me too way back in 1983. it was so new and awesome. I love all three for different reasons.

I would say Master of Puppets.. I never heard thrash till I meet Stepcuz in 87... He put this album on got me hook..

Ride the Lightning.

If I had to choose just one, I'd probably pick "Puppets", but really, I can listen to any one up to "Justice" anytime, anywhere. They are all just so dang good.

From the "black" album on thru "Garage Inc.", I have to be in the right mood or want to hear a specific song before I'll pick one of those releases.

"St. Anger" collects dust.

Oh MAN... trying to pick a favorite from the first four (four and a half if you count the 5.98 EP, haha) Metallica discs is tough... because for a long time I lived, ate, breathed, and slept Metallica. Those CDs are a major part of the soundtrack of my life. (We won't discuss how I feel about everything post-JUSTICE...)

I suppose if you put a gun to my head right now and said CHOOSE I'd have to go with "Lightning," but it could honestly be any of those first four records, so you might get a different answer tomorrow!

KEA and RTL

Master and Ride

Master of Puppets

I think I have always said Ride the Lightning. In my view, Metallica added more and more filler as time went on. I know it's not really filler, but it's just tracks that did not appeal to me. But they also progressed in songwriting and whatnot. So, while Kill em All probably has the least amount of songs I dislike, the songs I really liked on RtL were better than the songs I really liked on KeA. Master of Puppets is a great record, but also has "filler" IMO.

Filler:

Seek & Destroy

For Whom The Bell Tolls
Escape
The Call Of Ktulu

Disposable Heroes (maybe, maybe not)
Leper Messiah
Orion

Actually, I just convinced myself that my favorite is Kill Em All.

Ride the Lightning was the album that got me started on the Metallica train, and it's also my favorite. The whole thing is flawless.

are you freakin kidding?! seek and destroy is a great song but its ur opion, for whom the bell tolls; they could have made it better, escape; a great song in my opion. the call of ktulu; ur just pickin on this one cause its an intrumental. it is one of the most musically brilliant songs ever writen, same goes for orion. disposable heroes; i cant even come up with a concevable reason why not to love this song, and leper messiah is just a damn great song.

but i really cant tell you my favorite. any one of the first four albums is my favorite changing from day to day.

I love Seek & Destroy.
