By most old school fan's accounts, these seem to be the 2 favorite Metallica records. Which do you prefer?

Master of Puppets is one of my favorite albums of the 80's and the only Metallica album I've never actually gotten burnt out on.

Ride is near perfect. Plus it has their best song Fight Fire with Fire.

Depending on the day I like one better over the other so I picked both.

Ride is the better of the two, but just barely.

Two (minor) points I have against Ride:

-Call of Ktulu is the most repetitive instrumental ever, as cool as the riffing is.

-Escape. Although I've warmed to this song as an adult.

Points against Master:

-I got nothin'.

took the words right off my finger tips. I'd actually rate Kill ' em All higher than MoP also.

Master of Puppets is my favorite Metallica album. Still listen to it regularly.

Replace Call Of Ktulu with Orion and Ride would be just about perfect. As it is I still think Ride as the slightly better album.

Now we're talking.

And replace Escape with--anything.

You two need to stop. Stop replacing stuff.

I'll take Puppets. Battery is my favourite Metallica song.

I'll also take Kill'Em All before Ride the Lightning.
