Best Metallica is either this or Master



If And Justice For All didn't have those historic production problems, that would EASILY be my #1 though

Creeping Death's main riff might be one of the best riffs of all time

and what's with all the hate for Escape, always thought it was a banger, really different from the rest of the album while still being consistent

Tbh don’t hate it but it’s for sure the worst song here. That and Trapped Under Ice just don’t have *it* and I don’t even really know what *it* is.



I just know Fade to Black has *it*. The title track and Creeping Death have *it*…



I hope this makes sense lol

It's solid it better than some ppl think it is. Idk bout great tho it's easily the worst on the album



Even Metallica don't like that song lol. It's one of the only songs from the first couple album they don't really play live at all

Yeah i think they hate it because the label was pushing them to write a single or something like that. Oh well, I still dig it...

Metallica were so good back then that even the throwaway "single" is still great



Always found it curious that Escape was the song Gojira chose to cover though. I would've loved to hear them tackle something like Creeping Death or the t/t
