[QUOTE=lilmetallica]i dont know the band names butt ive heard the songs and it sounds like they're just sayin syllables or word fragments er somethin which do you like better puppetz(entire cd) or RTL (entire cd)[/QUOTE]

Im gonna have to go with Ride The Good Old Lightning. I really like what they were doin in 81, 82, and 83 and I would give anything to get my hands on some free demo downloads from those time periods...but anyway I like RTL because kirk does some really kick *** things on that album. Trapped Under Ice has a Hammett buffet and I really love Fade To Black(should have done more like it in the 80s). Puppets was good, dont get me wrong, but I dont think it was anything compared to what they were doing in 84 and before. My favorite album overall Kill em all and any recordings before that!

[QUOTE=lilmetallica]some of the metallica songs are like that the first time you listen to them but most you can understand[/QUOTE]

yea most of the words you can understand, and once you read the lyrics all the words make sense.

I'm going to say Ride the Lightning. Ride the Lightning has my absolute favorite song, Fade to Black, and I think the guitar work is better. Yes Master of Puppets has some great guitar work, but I just like RTL a lot better. Master of Puppets was better recorded however

I think it's better than puppets because all the songs on their are some oft the greates songs ive heard in my life. Fade to balck, call of ktulu, creeping death, all incredible songs. But you cant forget all the other songs because they are all great

justice beats em all IMO :thumb:

[QUOTE=willis2441]justice beats em all IMO :thumb:[/QUOTE]

I agree, a lot of people who are classic Metallica fans (not there new stuff) seem to not like it as much. I dont know much about bass so i wouldnt be able to comment on how that changed, but other than that it certainly sounds like there most advanced album musicially.

And it has everything you want.

1. Straight up Metal - Blackened
2. Softer song that is amazing - One
3. Gloomy - The frayed ends of sanity
4. Thrash/Speed - Dyers Eve.

[QUOTE=willis2441]justice beats em all IMO :thumb:[/QUOTE]

dont know about that one...it lacks a non-political track. and one were you can tell kirk is a god. Justice was alright...but all the tracks sound teh same to me. you can hear ten metallica songs and tell which one if off jusitce just by the way it sounds. but everyone can have an opinion...i have no problems with that.

Ok here I got with RTL:

1. Straight up Metal - Fight Fire With Fire
2. Softer song that is amazing - Fade To Black
3. Gloomy - Call Of Ktulu, For Whom The Bell Tolls
4. Trash/Speed - Trapper Under Ice

I love justice, just not as much as RTL.

It's probably my third fav, right behind puppets

One of my favorite songs on that cd is harvester of sorrow

I agree RTL has everything you want, but so does ajfa not to mention master and kea hav alot of great songs as well. There all got there own styles so you cant really compare them. and with the load reload thing id rather load but the first 3 songs on reload are awsome

Yes, its kinda like a mix of songs, so people of all genres would probably like at least one song from the Ride the Lightning or Master Of Puppets :D

[QUOTE=Sandtrap]I was refering to the current metal that is reffered too as black metal. the stuff were they sing so weird you couldnt understand what there saying(literaly)unless you read the lyrics off the page while listening to the song. I dont even know if I could follow along under those cirumstances.[/QUOTE]

Burzum is like that. Mayhem, for the most part, is like that. Darkthrone is like that on A Blaze. I don't really see the problem.

I prefer Ride The Lightning for an "everything you want album". It has catchy songs, beautiful but metal songs, and straight up kick your *** thrash.

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]I prefer Ride The Lightning for an "everything you want album". It has catchy songs, beautiful but metal songs, and straight up kick your *** thrash.[/QUOTE]

I'm somewhat agree. RTL is my fav. Metallica album... next to AJFA.

[QUOTE=Sandtrap]and one were you can tell kirk is a [B]god.[/B][/QUOTE]

Good?


I would agree and say that AJFA is the best metallica album up to date. AJFA song is **** awesome. Along with one, blackened, to live is to die, etc... All songs on that album are great. ;)

Ride The Lightning is number 1
Kill 'em All/Master of Puppets, I'd probably say Kill 'em All's better, but not by much.
...
Hell, I say St. Anger's better then AJFA.

[QUOTE]Hell, I say St. Anger's better then AJFA.[/QUOTE]
No way, you really prefer St. Anger to AJFA?

NP: Dream Theater-Erotomania

MOP
RTL
...AJFA
KEA

There's the official order for fatbandit's choice, though the top three are almost interchangable. I always change my mind about which is best.

For me the best are always just the first four albums, I can't decide on one album.

The newer stuff of Metallica isnt half as good as the old stuff (this has been said before) but i talk to people and they say they love metallica and i go fav album and they say sumin like St Anger like that is their worst album. My favourite album would be either The "black" album or ride the lightning

Psh, I love the Black Album and Loads. But if I'm in a 'f[b]u[/b]ck sh[b]i[/b]t up' kind of mood, nothing helps better than Justice. If you're listening to the later stuff, listen to it for what it is (finely crafted music, that is very listenable and all round quality stuff), not what it isn't. If you want to listen to old school thrash, go listen to KEA.

Still, one of my favourite albums is S&M. And one of my favourite tracks off of that is Hero of the Day, so its not as if the Load/Reload stuff is bad.

Load is probably my favourite album and i am unfortunate enough to not have bought the S&M album but i will get around to it.

oh and i meant like Reload and St Anger more St Anger cause i reakon they sold out...i should get the album and listen to it first tho lol before i start making these claims...reload does have fuel on it tho and the memory remains so that gives it credibility

this post made me laugh :lol:

I would Probably say:
RTL
KEA
MOP
...AJFA

My top three are almost interchangable and i even go through phases when ..and justice for all sneaks in aswell. I think Ride The Lightening is the best because it still has that awesome heavy sound but shows evidence of the band maturing (fade to black). Although Master of Puppets also does this aswell and includes my favorite metallica song (Sanitarium), it just seemed to me that it didn't extend enough on RTL or take them to any new levels.
The reason fo my placement of KEA is that it is the bands debut and is flawless from start to finish, which is some acchievement. I probably prefer the more matured metallica albums and songs but KEA is metal from start to finish and is great when in a ****ty mood.

i get it
