Frayed Ends is one of their most underrated tracks. It riffs hard. Dyers Eve is also one of my favourites. Probably the second best off the album behind One.

Album Rating: 4.5

One is just one of the very few mega popular songs that never gets old. I could go the rest of my life without hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit, Creep, literally all of the Black Album. But One just ain’t like that.



Blasted this album all the way through at work today and One came on the fucking radio in the next room like an hour later and I was just like fuck yeah man

Album Rating: 5.0

Agreed. One is one of the few songs, that is actually musically interesting

as a young metalhead in nowhere USA I had multiple Metallica CD’s from Walmart and this is the only one I ever really came back to. i still think it’s kinda inarguably Metallica’s best release.

Album Rating: 4.5

I mean it’s not even close for me. These days I like Puppets and Lighting (tho there’s a couple of throwaway tracks there), dig most of Death Magnetic, and I literally only really liked Spit Out the Bone on Hardwired.

Black Album has some solid deeper cuts but I’m just so fucking sick of hearing Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, and especially Enter Sandman. Like I’ve seen Metallica exactly once but somehow have managed to hear that song live like five fucking times from other bands

Album Rating: 4.5

And more on Frayed Ends, that’s the hardest I’ve ever been blue balled in my life. Waited in line in the rain for hours, managed to get front row, only for them to close with Enter Sandman and then play the main riff to Frayed Ends… and that’s it. Just so disappointing.



Hoping they play it this fall but I’m not gonna hold my breath

Astounds me that james hates that song so much. Wtf is his reasoning? One of their best songs and their forgotten 80’s epic

Album Rating: 5.0

The only thing I can think of to dislike on Frayed is the goofy Viking chants at the beginning, but the rest of the whole song is mint so that's a pretty dumb reason to keep from playing it live.

Eh I still love even that. The track is fucking awesome imo

Agree with Wildcard on digging most of Death Magnetic. I don't ever really go back to it because it's obviously not the level of the early stuff but it's the only thing that's come close in a very very long time. Honestly can't dig anything from anything they've done since then

Album Rating: 4.5

Def check out the beyond magnetic ep if you haven’t already



Hate Train and Hell and Back are just as good as anything on that record

Album Rating: 4.5

Hate Train is a huge jam yeah. God I completely forgot about that tune but loved it back in the day.

beyond magnetic >>>>>>> death magnetic. at least 3 of the BM songs would be top 3 on DM

Album Rating: 4.0

Always considered this my least favorite pre-Black Metallica album. The lack of bass really hurts and some of the longer songs tend to drag, but it's still a good time, even if I don't listen to it nearly as often as the other early albums.

Important bump

Album Rating: 5.0

Metallica were vastly superior to any of their peers all throughout the 80's and everyone looked up to them as kings and rightly so. KEA was groundbreaking and unprecedented, RTL was so much better than anything else in '84, no-one could close to writing a Master of Puppets in '86 with songs like Sanitarium and Orion and Justice was beyond anything else in '88 although I really like So far so good. But even that can't compare to the songs in Justice. Rant over
