I was wondering what the best Metallica Album is? I heard "And Justice for all" is good. But I was thinking about geting a new one (I have thier black one) I would like to see your opinion.

And justice for all

Master of Puppets, best album I have ever heard.

Ride the Lightning. Beats out Master of Puppets by virtue of more Lovecraft references.

dont give your money to those sellout cock suckers

Syphon, your an idiot, whats your definition of a sellout huh? "Sueing somone to protect THE MUSIC THEY MADE THEMSELVES?". Selling out is when the band has NO CONTROL of their music. Which means the record company owns them pretty much. Elektra does NOT own metallica, metallica 1st of all ownz elektra, at the height of their career (Black Album) Metallica told Elektra they would leave... so Elektra gave them even more money just to stay. Their Gods, they can also play anywhere THEY want, not anywhere their RECORD COMPANY wants them to play. Your just another idiot trying to be a rebel and cant face the hard cold fact that Metallica are one of the best Metal Bands around. Right?

Oh yea, i personally like Kill em All the most, fast as fuck.

what an ignorant fuck you are. a sellout is someone who values money over music which they clearly do. any true musician wants to share his message with people, prosecuting them is not the way to go about sharing. i hardly think that the music needs protected from anything. how exactly can kids on napster harm the music? or perhaps you mean protect thier profits in which case you haven proven that they are sellouts.

"at the height of their career (Black Album) Metallica told Elektra they would leave... so Elektra gave them even more money just to stay"

once agian you illustrated how they value money over creative freedom and musical happyness.

"Their Gods, they can also play anywhere THEY want, not anywhere their RECORD COMPANY wants them to play"

i'd like to see one of those scoundrals try to play for me.

"Your just another idiot trying to be a rebel and cant face the hard cold fact that Metallica are one of the best Metal Bands around"

the only fact that i see in this rebuttal is that you didnt think as you were writing it. care to share why they are so great? in my book it takes more than playing skill to be great. a great musician is also a good person who cares for music and its welfare, not a group of eletist pigs who think the world owes them for breathing. metallica and especialy lars ulrich have a huge chip on their shoulders. playing music doesnt automaticly entitle you to fame and fortune.

"Right?"

NO!

Easily Master Of Puppets, there is no doubt in my mind. It is such a superb album, every track a classic except for maybe Leper Messiah.

Definately Master of puppets is their best, with Ride the Lighnting a close second. I havn't listened to Metallica since I was in high school (like 10 years ago) and I gave up on them once they Sold out and put out that Metallica/metallica CD. Slow shit from metallica, WTF??

master of puppets by far and above the best oalbum

Gotta be Ride The Lightning, quality tunes on there

Just get all of the first four. And don't pay for them. That will make it much more pleasurable.

master of puppets is a classic,in every sense.ride the lightning is also pretty tough.

::starts playing "one" on guitar:::

I agree with Psyphon, they were 'sellouts' long before Napster was even born.

And what's with all those friggin albums that have the same damn songs as the other albums? Like... 'An Album for You', I saw this in the store and laughed my ass off.

Gotta make that money I guess...

Oh, and my vote for fav Metallica album, I'll hafta say And Justice...

It's sad too, how bands change like that. Metallica 'were' metal Gods, but that was waaay back. Same thing happened to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden too. Shit, Maiden hasn't put out a great album since Powerslave. Seventh Son was good, but it was all downhill after that. Fear of the Dark? More like, Fear of What Music is Turning Into.

I'll stick with my Euro-Metal bands, like Gravedigger, Iced Earth, etc etc.

I'd say Ride the lightening is better than And Justice, but they're both good.
Back when Metallica had hair and we still set each other on fire in the pit. *sigh* Those were the good ol' days. Priest and Maiden, still pretty good, though some of Maiden's newer junk is a little soft for me. I like to stick with the old awesome metal of the day, but I'm really into Norweigan Death Metal lately. Oh, and anyone who gets near me while listening to "nu-metal" gets fed to my daughter. She at least has the taste to listen to something decent like funk. Now funk is cool, as long as you're not trying to be a badass metalhead while listening to it.

"Metallica should have a greatest hits cd out woth buying"

I believe the S&M CD's were somewhat of a greatest hits album for them. I actually think the songs were bettered by playing them with the symphony. I can't say the S&M CD's are my fav, but they were pretty cool. My fav Metallica CD is Load, only because the songs sound more soulfull on there, like "Bleeding Me" and "Outlaw Torn." I'm just a sucker for that stuff.

Master of Puppets is the only one i like.
