fight fire with fire might be the only classic metallica track i prefer the studio version to the live version. (of the songs they've performed at least semi often)

"Dang you think they sound better live today than on their albums? Interesting"



from this album i'd 100% say their live renditions for bells, fade, and creeping death have surpassed the studio versions since at least the jason era and its still true today. would say that for basically all the big hits from the first five albums besides maybe "one".

Probably my favourite thrash album. Master of Puppets may have higher highs (Orion) but this just does not slow down at any point. Super concise, riffs hard and an amazing guitar tone.
