Metallica. One of my favorite bands. If you haven't listened to them, and you're a fan of metal, you need to give them a try. https://www.pandora.com/artist/metallica/AR76blkv44mhfXK Through the magic of internet radios, here's some music. And before you get on my case, I'm not reviewing Lulu, Garage Inc., or Hardwired...to Self-Destruct. Now, let's get on with it! Starting in chronological order...
Kill 'Em All (1983)
Amazing debut album. Really nothing else to be said. Standout tracks are Hit The Lights, Jump in The Fire, Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), and Seek and Destroy. 9/10
Ride The Lightning (1984)
You would have expected a dropoff in quality with the fact that this album came out a year after their last album, but it really lives up to its predecessor. Standout tracks are Creeping Death, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, and Trapped Under Ice. 10/10
Master of Puppets (1986)
Another phenomenal work. Also, Cliff Burton's last album. May he rest in peace. Standout tracks are Battery, Orion, and Master of Puppets. 8.5/10
...And Justice For All (1989)
Another amazing one. I've found that it's easier to talk about a bad album than a good one. Standout tracks are One, ...And Justice For All, The Frayed Ends of Sanity, To Live is To Die, Dyers Eve, and Blackened. 10/10
Metallica/ The Black Album (1991)
I would consider this the last album where most of the songs are solid. Standouts are Don't Tread on Me, Wherever I May Roam, The Unforgiven and Enter Sandman. 8/10
Load (1996)
The quality starts slipping here, folks. My God. Standout track is King Nothing. 6/10
Reload (1997)
Still disappointing. Standouts are Fuel, and The Unforgiven II. 5/10
St. Anger (2003)
Let's just forget this one exists. There's nothing more disappointing than this. Imagine you're a Metallica fan, this album just released, you think "The last two were stinkers, sure. But they can't possibly get worse, right?" So you get home after buying the album, you put it on your music player, and this radio-centric garbage comes out. If you were me, you'd say, "Screw it, I'm pulling a Mustaine." Then you would defect to Megadeth. No standout tracks. 0/10
Death Magnetic (2008)
Their first thrash album in almost two decades. Yes, AJFA came out in 1989, but it was a progressive album. Standout tracks are The Day That Never Comes, All Nightmare Long, and Suicide and Redemption. 7/10
