It's Master Of Puppets, followed by Ride The Lightning

Posted by: VinceG Sep 24 2007, 12:22 AM

Deff. Pure thrash escence. They started loosing it as they launch more albums.

Ride the Lightning!

I'm going to have to agree with a lot of you and say "Master of Puppets".....everything before the black album was good though. But the real question is, what happened to Metallica? They used to be really good and the 90's rolled around and they just got really bad and they're just getting worse. The black album isn't terrible.....but I think that's the point they should have reallized it was time to call it quits. Same goes for Weezer, the Blue Album and Pinkerton were great....now we get songs like "Beverly Hills". I can never figure out how bands can be so good and then get so bad like that.

Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 24 2007, 03:23 AM

Seriously, what happened to them?! i used to love Metallica, then i listened to st. anger and i wanted to gouge out my ears with one of my Star Trek pencils . granted, i always loved Megadeth and Iron Maiden more, but Metallica was a VERY close third. i wish they would get it together. come on guys!

Posted by: shredmandan Sep 24 2007, 03:36 AM

This has always been a very tuff question for me Choosing one album to be my favorite,but i would either go with Master of Puppets or Justice for all.Both of those albums i can still listen to all the way through

Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 24 2007, 03:37 AM

Well it seems master of puppets is the perfect metallica album. everybody loves it!
Justice for all was great as well.

Posted by: SLASH91 Sep 24 2007, 03:53 AM

Same here.

What do you guys think- will their next album be thrash?

Posted by: shredmandan Sep 24 2007, 04:06 AM

I dont think so You never know and i wont give up on them but i think there past that now and are constantly try to reinvent them self and stick with todays mainstreem music.I think you will get a st. anger style album again just improved with better drums,solo's again and hopefully a better voice.And if not that will be similer to what load was.Yeah they could prove me wrong and i hope they do .I would even be happy if they just made a album that sound's good even if its not hard thrash like th past.We will see as its supposed to be out at the beginning of the year

Posted by: Robin Sep 24 2007, 04:07 AM

No. Even if they play thrash, it still need to sound thrash to be thrash imo. And that will probably never happen with that band.

Posted by: DeepRoots Sep 24 2007, 04:09 AM

I'm a master of puppets addict myself. I hope next months album isnt as bad as st anger was (it is next month right????)

Posted by: SLASH91 Sep 24 2007, 04:12 AM

I hope that your wrong ...I have a feeling you wont be though

Posted by: VinceG Sep 24 2007, 04:15 AM

there never gonna be able to pull off a thrash sound. Exodus and Kreator can barely sound thrash in there newer release, let alone metallica who lost there thrash edge after Kill em All. I could honestly say that if your a young band like Gama Bomb or Violator, thrash would be more aggressive but if your old your not gonna be able to put that thrash element into your music as much as younger generation of thrash metalers. Plus most of them are beer drinkers. Beer and thrash has always been a great combination.

Posted by: SLASH91 Sep 24 2007, 04:20 AM

You dont think that Ride the Lightning was thrash?

Posted by: botoxfox Sep 24 2007, 04:22 AM

Mine would probably be Ride the Lightning, altough I've never really liked Metallica that much.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Sep 24 2007, 04:38 AM

Ride The Lightning

Posted by: kevin-riff-after-riff Sep 24 2007, 04:53 AM

master of the puppets, or the black one ...... cant choose

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Sep 24 2007, 05:07 AM

The master of puppets, for sure

the early albums sounds a bit bad, but they are good enough

Posted by: Robin Sep 24 2007, 05:13 AM

Hmm, I see it the opposite way Metal cant sound like Britney Spears

Posted by: Ayen Sep 24 2007, 05:41 AM

Saint Anger!


Kidding



Ride the lightning, all the way.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Sep 24 2007, 06:02 AM

Amen

Posted by: VinceG Sep 24 2007, 06:51 AM

Ride the Lightning and Master Of The Puppets are still thrash in vein, there just not as thrashy as other counterparts in the scene. Like I said, they started loosing the thrash edge after kill em all, I didnt specifically said that there not thrash anymore.

Posted by: Kai Muehlenbruch Sep 29 2007, 10:11 PM

Ride the Lightning + ...and justice for all

Posted by: mattacuk Sep 30 2007, 12:33 AM

I know little about Heavy Metal, but i did listen to Metallica alot back in school. And Justic for all was my fave, very good!

Posted by: Ben N Sep 30 2007, 12:35 AM

i loved them all.. but for me its "and justis for all"
no question about that!!

Posted by: brandon Sep 30 2007, 03:19 AM

what i do is pretend that after they put out the black album they decided that they just weren't cutting it anymore and decided to call it quits and broke up for good. it makes it easier to listen to good albums and not think about how terrible they are now.

Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 30 2007, 03:46 AM

Good advice, ill try that.

Posted by: rokchik Sep 30 2007, 03:52 AM

...And Justice for All

hands down my fave

Posted by: Resurrection Oct 5 2007, 04:24 AM

...and Justice for All

Master of Puppets is a very close second.

Posted by: Animosity Oct 5 2007, 05:57 AM

Master of Puppets

Hetfield stopped drinking

Posted by: Understudy Oct 7 2007, 01:08 AM

Kill em All and then both garage albums

Posted by: Bondy Oct 7 2007, 08:33 AM

Master Of puppets defo

Posted by: ActiveX Oct 8 2007, 01:42 PM

For me it's definitely Ride the Lightning

Posted by: shredmandan Oct 8 2007, 01:46 PM

I wanted to say Justice as well cause i fell its there most intense riff's,but the lack of bass on the album is the only thing that holds me back from saying its not my favorite.If only they wouldnt have tryed to cut Newsted's bass out it would be a 100% Pefect album.

Posted by: VinceG Oct 8 2007, 02:02 PM

They actually remastered that album along with other earlier once.

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Oct 8 2007, 02:12 PM

Did somebody said "Saint Anger" ?? hehehehee

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Jan 22 2008, 12:37 AM

Kill em all...

Posted by: USAMAN Jan 22 2008, 12:40 AM

MASTER.....MASTER....MASTER OF PUPPETS.............

Posted by: SLASH91 Jan 22 2008, 12:43 AM

Still can't decide between Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for all

Posted by: Gus Jan 22 2008, 12:46 AM

My preferred is the black album (though And Justice for all would be almost a tie if I had to give notes)

P.S. Seems I am the only one to prefer this phase(black+justice) instead of the more thrash metal 3 first albums? Well, before being flamed I do like them, but the question is about the preferred

Posted by: SLASH91 Jan 22 2008, 12:57 AM

Don't worry about being flamed here, man. It HARDLY ever happens, and is always quickly put to an end. Speak your oppinion without fear

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 22 2008, 01:20 AM

Going to have to say MASTER OF PUPPETTS!!!

Posted by: Gus Jan 22 2008, 06:59 PM

Hey. That was actually my first impression.The discussion level in the forum seems to be 1000% more polite and less biased than 99.9% internet forums

Posted by: Nick334 Jan 22 2008, 08:15 PM

Master of Puppets. Black album in a close second. Luckily it seems, I haven't heard anything after Black album.

Posted by: SEANCD2005 Jan 22 2008, 08:20 PM

It realy depends what kind of mood im in I realy like them all but i think i tend to listen to justice or puppets a bit more than the others, well actualy i listen to there live stuff more

Posted by: coffeeman Jan 22 2008, 08:25 PM

Definitely the black album, when I was start playing the guitar in 1992 a friend of mine gave me the tabs of that album , so the first riffs I learned to play were from that album , I have a very speciall conection with it.

Posted by: Matt23 Jan 22 2008, 08:34 PM

Master of puppets

I like all their albums till the black album (like enter sandman). Wonder what their new album ll be like.

Posted by: drw84215 Jan 22 2008, 08:47 PM

they say that the new album will be like the days of old Metallica. Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets are my favorites. both tied for number one. and ...And Justice for All is a shy second.


RIP Cliff Burton!!!!

Posted by: Freebird Jan 22 2008, 08:58 PM

Kill em all is the absolute best.... The TONE on that album is absolutley CRUSHING!! Plus the music is great!
So far it goes: 1. Kill em all 2. Justice for all 3. Black album
I don't like master of puppets! The only good song on it is the title track, all the rest is not good to me...

Posted by: kyldeee Jan 22 2008, 09:08 PM

Master of Puppets is my favorite from Metallica, but I also like the Black Album...

Posted by: JVM Jan 23 2008, 12:15 AM

Justice is probably my favorite metallica album. I pretty much love them all (sans S.A.) but I really love ..and justice for all

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 23 2008, 12:17 AM

I agree on the black album. I love that one as well

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 23 2008, 12:19 AM

Ride the Lightening is my fav after St Anger i lost hope

Posted by: SLASH91 Jan 23 2008, 12:23 AM

Idk...I've never liked the Black Album that much. Don't get me wrong, there are some awesome songs on there like The Unforgiven, Of Wolf and Man, and Nothing Else Matters, but I absolutely HATE a couple of the songs like Holier than Thou and The Struggle Within. I guess if I could overlook the fact that they made 4 great thrash/heavy metal albums before the Black Album, I'd be able to like it more. But I just can't

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jan 23 2008, 01:05 AM

those are the track that i hate the most from the black album too. the rest are good to me.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 23 2008, 12:15 PM

Ride The Lightning by a long way. It was all downhill from then on.

Posted by: SLASH91 Jan 23 2008, 06:31 PM

Just read that Metallica's new album got pushed back to SEPTEMBER.

Oh, well. I guess, it just gives them more time to polish it and make it thrashy

Posted by: Nemanja Jan 23 2008, 06:37 PM

LOAD...for me the best...
I was in love with metallica for many years as a kid...but then when LOAD came I was disapointed...
3 years later for my 20th birsday friend bought me LOAD...UUUAAAAUUUUU....
Blues metall combinatios blow me away...

Posted by: JVM Jan 23 2008, 09:03 PM

Yeah, I know metallica is supposed to be thrash and everything but I love load too

Posted by: Sabbz Jan 24 2008, 12:52 AM

Black Album and everything before it = AWESOMENESS
Everything after the Black Album = Steaming turd floating in a bucket

Just my opinion, of course.
