Reverend Jax Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 *Garage Inc is a 2 disc set that includes the entire Garage Days Re-revisited collection, which was out of print and very hard to find, within it's track list, hence listing them separately is pointless. Metallica made some of the most solid albums in their day. They've gotten lazy. It took them 5 years to get into the studio after 1991's self-titled decaplatinum plus album, to record the material for 1996's Load and 1997's Reload (originally intended to be a double album, it turned into two albums instead) and they've only been in the studio since then to record "I Disappear" for the M:I2 soundtrack. Dispite that laziest (or maybe fighting piracy leaves no time to create new music), they recorded some of the eighty's best and most solid albums.

The NZA Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Yeah, back before they were fisting their fans, I remember "Ride the Lightning" and "...And Justice for all" being pretty good. First one i bought on my own was the infamous black album tho, good damn near the whole way through. But who knows, perhaps ill vote for Reload just to be contrary.

Reverend Jax Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Voting for Reload woudl be such a Nick thing to do. Master Of Puppets is the clear choice for me, but Ride The Lightning and ...And Justice For All are incredible to and are worthy choices. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised if The Black Album gets the most votes, but I can only assume those who vote for it have never heard Master Of Puppets. Taste me, you will see, more is all you need, dedicated to how I'm killing you. Comforming faster, obey your master, your life burns faster, obey your master, master. Master of puppets are pulling your strings, twisting your mind and smashing your dreams, blinded by me you can't see a thing, just call my name cause I'll hear you scream master, master. Oh yeah.

JunkerSeed Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Hmm, I'm gonna have to agree with Jack's on this one. Master of puppets just rocks. I mean it has the title track, battery, leper messiah, dispodable heroes... orion.. damage inc.... shit I'm listing every song... Yeah, it's one of the better cds ever recorded, and one of the top metal albums ever, maybe the best one. Nothing from Kill em All to the black album is anything short of genius, so this is all a matter of opinion I guess. Load was a fine cd too, and I think reload has some good songs on it, but those are not metal cds, and they dont touch the old stuff obviously.

Reverend Jax Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Yep, you stopped before mentioning the thing that should not be and welcome home (sanitarium), which are two other classics. It's just non-stop perfection on that disc. As far as being the best metal album, I have to put Paranoid by Black Sabbath first, just for being so damn important for setting the standard for metal. BS's self-titled debut was awesome, but Paranoid was the album that set the tone for the whole genre. I probably put Appetite For Destruction and Ænima somewhere in the third through fifth spots.

TopDawg540 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I've always preferred the black album myself. Enter sandman, sad but true, hell their all classics on it. Could listen to that sucker all day long and not get tired of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 I've always preferred the black album myself. So by 'preferred' you're saying you've heard Master Of Puppets? Cause if you haven't and you think the Black Album is great from start to finish, well then Master Of Puppets will blow your mind. The Black Album has a few weaker tracks, but MOP plays like a greatest hits disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg540 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Actually now that I think about it I only have the black album and the 2 disc set they did with the london symphony orchestra(i think) Of the other CD's i've heard a few tracks here and there but never sat down and listended to the full disc. So I guess I'm just Biased toward the black album. :sly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 As I suspected. Listen to Master of Puppets. It's crazy good. If you don't want to bother with looking for them, I can send the mp3s to you through ICQ, just ask. Ride The Lightning is a great album to listen to afterwards if you like MOP, but I wouldn't recommend ...AJ4A until you've settled into 80's Metallica. It's an incredible album, but it takes more patience to listen too for some reason. It's more...subtle, for lack of a better word. And the live album you're thinking of is called S&M, and it's the San Francisco Symphony (the S stands for either San Francisco or for Symphony, and the M for Metallica). Now here are the Metallica album covers, in order of release (same order as on the poll): FYI: The image on the cover of Load is blood and semen mixed together.

deacon Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Im going for Master Of Puppets aswell, there just isnt a better Metallica album. Ride The Lightning comes a close second followed by their debut Kill Em All. I love the songs on ...And Justice For All but the production on it is absolutely terrible. You cant hear any bass at all. Basically the Cliff era was Metallica at its best but Im intereseted to see what Trujillo brings them cause he looks to be one mean motherfucking bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted March 31, 2003 Author Share Posted March 31, 2003 The new album is called St. Anger right? I hate Metallica for not releasing studio albums. It's like they think one studio album every 6 or seven years in acceptable. I'll obviously give it a chance, but they piss me off as people, we'll see what they do as musicians. I never really liked Kill 'Em All. Too much thrash, not enough arragnement. I place it fifth behind MOP, RTL, AJ4L and the black album.

deacon Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Yeah St. Anger it is, I know it's pretty shitty how they never release stuff but I still love em. I still think Load is very underrated, its an amazing album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Load was a fine cd too, and I think reload has some good songs on it, but those are not metal cds, and they dont touch the old stuff obviously.

alive she cried Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) My order of favourite metallica albums 1. Ride The Lightning: This just pips MOP for me. while it does have two pretty crap songs (trapped under ice and escape)It's also got Creeping Death, Fade To Black, The Call Of Ktulu and of course For Whom The Bell Tolls. 2. Master Of Puppets: Another genuine classic, best songs, Battery, Master Of Puppets, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and Orion. 3. ...And Justice For All: Their last great album, best songs, Blackened, One, Harvester Of Sorrow, The Shortest Straw and To Live Is To Die (their last instrumental) 4. Garage Inc.: Their best album of the nineties, best songs, Free Speech For The Dumb, Sabbra Cadabra, Turn The Page, Loverman, Astronomy, So What and Am I Evil? (their best song of the nineties, despite being recorded in the eighties) 5. Metallica (Black Album): A step down but still a great album, best songs, Enter Sandman, Sad But True, Wherever I May Roam and of course Of Wolf And Man (one of their best ever songs) 6. Load: Despite not being metal a great rock album, best songs, Ain't My Bitch, Until It Sleeps, Hero Of The Day and The Outlaw Torn. 7. Kill 'Em All: Very raw but has some great songs, Hit The Lights, The Four Horsemen, Motorbreath, (Anasthesia) Pulling Teeth, Whiplash and Seek & Destroy. 8. St. Anger: *sigh*, need i say anything? good songs, St. Anger, Frantic and The Unnamed Feeling 9. Reload: Oh sweet Jesus, what a pile of shite, good song, Fuel p.s. I left S&M off the list 'cos it was'nt a studio album, but if i was to put it in, i'd put it in ahead of garage inc. in fourth place Edited March 22, 2007 by alive she cried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 i think load and re-load were quite good, but st anger, well, ive had better bowel movements after a night on the stout and had a kebab to boot.... nothing will beat ride the lightning though, it had the fire and fury of mustaine fuelling it on... after that i'd say justice and s&m and puppets a close fourth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Kaniggit Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Speaking of Metallica Albums... their newest one is due out in the fall. It's called DEATH MAGNETIC I am very eagerly awaiting to hear what Metallica and Rick Rubens have created! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) I like the use of the D and C to look like magnets, and the classic Metallica 'M' being electric bolts shooting out. Hopefully, there will be other things to like as well. Edited July 10, 2008 by Reverend Jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
