Never understood some of the ppl urging this is better than master. Dont get me wrong this album is top 10 of all time. But master improved on pretty much every aspect. Production,song writing, everything. There's a weaker track here escape. no weak tracks on master. And the best song they ever made is on master the title track. This album is damn near perfect. But master is perfection.

Totally agree “this album is damn near perfect. But master is perfection”. Master is the GOAT.

As for The thing that should not be and leper messiah they are classics in the Burton era.

Don’t get me wrong lads, RTL is one of the best and innovative metal albums ever. What else was happening in 1984?

Title track is still one of my favourites by Metallica, no surprise Mustaine wrote it.

Dude was so sad in Some Kind of Monster, you almost felt sorry for him.

That scene is so funny, Lars is clutching his face all over the whole time Dave was talking, not sure if he was about to cry or if he was stinging for a line lol

I think he cringed on Dave's behalf.

The funniest was when Lars is showing st anger to his dad, and he asks his dad what he thinks.

"If I was an advisor, I would say delete that"

"master improved on pretty much every aspect"

Sounds like you're confusing "every" with "no".

All the songs on ride the lightning are better than the ones on master. Master of puppets is good but nowhere near the first 2 albums as far as thrash is concerned. Much less energy, songwriting isn't as good either. Don't get me wrong, master is still their 3rd best but...ride the lightning is just legendary.
