BSaccone: Metallica Albums Ranked

KevinKC 02.14.18	A few days ago someone made a Motorhead list. If motorhead's album are hard to classify according to their quality, Metallica's are a lot easier. It's a bit surprising to see Black above and Justice for all though. What makes you prefer the black album ?
TheGuy 02.14.18	it was me who made it ;)
Closk 02.14.18	St Anger was terrible. Bob Rock and James Hetfield at all time lows.
CygnusX1 02.14.18	Seeing Kill em All under Hardwired hurts me
BlackwaterPork 02.14.18	Yeah wtf happened there
chemicalkid44 02.22.18	i'd put MOP above RTL and KEA above HTSD, but that's just me
chemicalkid44 02.22.18	and i don't think St. Anger is that bad, definitely better than Death Magnetic
Demon of the Fall 02.22.18	Unique list, never seen one quite like it
Samano89 02.22.18	I still think "...And Justice For All" is their best album. It doesn't even matter that the production is sub-par, the songs (all of them) are just way too damn good. Yes some people say they are too long and that they should have been trimmed up more but honestly after so many times listening to the album for years it's the one album that sounds better and better and that I can identify with more of the details in each song to the point now where each song feels so damn perfect that I wouldn't trim even a second off of each track. Blackened is my favorite Metallica song ever, the title track has my favorite Ulrich drum patterns and favorite Hammet solo ever, Harvester Of Sorrow has awesome Hetfield rhythm picking, One is a masterpiece and one of the greatest songs ever written, and the closing track has more intensity than ten cities! It's Ulrich's fastest drumming ever and some of Hetfield's best lyrics and guitar playing ever. This album is flawless! Also has Hetfield's coolest/best vocal sound/performance of all the Metallica albums/eras. I can't wait until this album gets the proper vinyl reissue soon like they just did to fix "Ride the Lighting" and "Master Of Puppets" which both turned out great.
