>Pitchfork gave RTL a 10/10 so it's okay to like now.
protip: all of their 80's albums are 8-9/10
>>64210763
Metalicas first three albums are decent but not top tier thrash
Everything else is garbage.
Look, metallica is really good. have you even heard the guitar solo on one??? man kirk is so good. lars is amazing on drums. his work on st anger is really sick; got a really unique sound on that one too.
this is my favorite metallica line
>despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
it's so true
metallica, megadeth, avenged sevenfold, the list goes on...
>>64212205
this
>Kill 'Em All - 6.5/10
>Ride the Lightning - 8/10
>Master of Puppets - 7/10
>AJFA - 6/10
>Black Album - 4/10
In my mind they cease existing after the black album
>>64213394
Trying just a little too hard
>>64210763
It's better than Master of Puppets
>>64213783
What the fuck are you on?
Kill 'Em All - 9/10
Ride The Lightning - 8/10
Master of Puppets - 7/10
...And Justice For All - 6/10
The only song past that worth hearing is "Wherever I May Roam"
>>64215279
Wherever I may roam is shit aside from the verse
>>64215279
i agree with this except i would put master of puppets at 8/10 instead.
im ashamed to say that i actually enjoy listening to st anger. i fucking love that album but its hard to defend it. really i like all of their stuff except for the symphony album, black album, and death magnetic. i despise those albums.
>>64215369
Yes. But no other Metallica song past Justice for All has any worthwhile part.
I was going to make a joke about Lulu, but I decided it wasn't worth the effort, so I guess I'll settle for a meta-joke.
>>64216169
>joking about the only experimental album they've ever recorded
I'm not a contrarian but that album is good, the only thing that drags it down? James' vocals, everything else is weird as shit but overall it's a solid 6/10
How?
>>64216221
>An album fusing a shit band and a shit "classic" musician.
I've listened to Lulu twice. I have a very open mind. Easily one of the worst albums I've ever heard.
>>64213394
Oh jeez I thought you were serious at first. Damn I was ready to unleash my superiority as well
Kill 'em all and no life til leather are complete shite though. You contrarian fuckers really go out of your way to praise debut albums don't you? Ride through Justice are mint.
>>64216276
that could be because it's waay to long, but the story lou narrates is riveting and there's plenty of memorable moments (plenty of terrible ones as well, so I get the hate but tend to see it in a positive light)
they were also fucking with their respective fans
>>64216322
Kill em All is on par with Master of Puppets you pleb
>>64213783
load was pretty decent though
>>64210763
Idk why everyone dick rides Master Of Puppets when this is the best Metallica album
>>64216402
It really isn't though. They're basically different fucking bands at that point. Plus the production and songwriting difference is far too notable to lump kill em all into the same category as the three classic albums.
please
>>64216440
>i let pitchfork think for me
>>64216475
Megadeth>Metallica
this is a fact
>>64211146
lmao@ ur lief
>>64216445
and I completely agree with you
thats why I like so much Kill em All. its so much more rock and roll and fun than their other releases. Master of Puppets is them at their best and most polished.
I feel RtL is a step towards MoP, cause its pretty similar but I think MoP improved upon everything. AJfA is really good but in all honesty it tires me at some points
>>64216637
Megadeth only has two great albums
Metallica have four, and even could be argued that they have five
>>64216440
>>64216491
master of puppets doesn't have the emotional masterpiece known as fade 2 black
>>64216758
make it 5
Peace Sells, RIP, CtE, SFSGSW, Killing is my business
and they've always been better live (provided you like dave's vocals)
>>64216637
Megadeth has a better discography and musicians but Metallica's first four album is better than anything made by Megadeth.
>>64216491
>implying I give a shit about what p4k says
>>64216758
>Megadeth only has two great albums
they have at least seven albums that shit all over any Metallica release
>>64216637
Very true, Dystopia kicked ass
>>64216766
That's not a set back if you were ever a teenaged guitarist. Fucking everyone i know knows that song. Shit wears down on you after awhile. Metallica in general gets boring as fuck if you play guitar.
That being said - master > ride
>>64216826
eh... you're drunk on the kool aid. should take a break from it for a few weeks to see how wrong you are.
>>64216876
It's simple fact
Killing, Peace, Rust, SFSGSW, Countdown, Youth & Endgame are top-tier
>>64216402
Yes, but only because Master of Puppets is mediocre
>>64216942
Endgame alone discredits your opinion.
>>64216963
Hey look, another contrarian.
>>64216986
>implying disagreeing with popular opinion is bad
Master of Puppets is solid but completely unimpressive
>>64216805
>and they've always been better live
arguable. Metallica 1985-1989 were fucking amazing live
>>64217030
How can one person be so wrong?
>>64217030
how is it mediocre? its pretty much RtL with better production and songwriting. how can you not love that production? have you listened to MoP in a good stereo? holy shit it sounds so good
>>64217085
true tbf
>>64217030
>unimpressive
that's because it became pretty much a standard

Bullshit and you know it.
The original release of Rust in Peace is better than anything Metallica ever did.
Ride The Lightning>And Justice for All>Master of Puppets>Kill 'em all
>>64217638
Megadeth aren't that great, anon. That's okay though. Maybe find a dedicated thread about your shit tier band instead of bringing them up in every discussion about Metallica.
>>64217670
>Kill Em All in any place except #1
disgusting
>>64213394
Kirk is pretty good- he just doesn't practice enough. Lars is definitely trash though.
>>64216637
pretty much this. Dystopia is way better than i dared to even hope it would be
>>64217705
Pleb opinion
>>64217698
Rust in Piece is a perfect fucking album and are actually capable of decent composition.
Metallica sold out harder than any band since KISS.
You are supporting and putting on a pedestal the band who has a fucking monopoly game and who hasn't released anything worthwhile for 30 years.
>>64211146
That album is not repetitive, The Call of Ktulu, a little bit
>>64216073
Eye of the Beholder is my favorite on that album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU_ggFovJNo
what a great track
>>64217638
Rust in Peace is the only 5/5 out of both Metallica's and Megadeth's discography.
Megadeath is just horrible live now. Mustaine can't cut singing anymore, he should hire a lead singer or something
>>64218147
I'll agree that this is probably true. Everyone saying otherwise is probably wearing nostalgia goggles.
>>64216322
This. Kill em All is way too unpolished (and not in a good way). I don't dislike it, I was a huge Metallica fan back in the day, it's certainly better than reload that's for sure.
but yes, ride through justice is their best work.
>>64216732
>>64217705
please rec me something similar to Kill Em All, it is so far and away my favorite Metallica it's ridiculous.
>>64218256
>ride through justice
typical ignoramus trashing their best release
>>64217912
That's my favorite Metallica track I think. I also like Creeping Death a lot.
Metallica's early albums are great, just ignore everything after And Justice For All.
>>64218415
Lol I still like Kill em All, I just don't like it as much as their other 80s works. I'm probably a bit of an oddball/contrarian in the sense that I like AJFA the best, though.
>>64218493
fair enough, I get where you're coming from to an extent since I thought the no life til leather demos were too unpolished, KEA just has the perfect mix of speed and polish for me though
>>64217780
Your first sentence is the only thing you've said that merits discussion. All of that other horse shit is why you've got shit taste.
>>64218468
The black album has some good tracks.
It's still a shit album, but I think it's worth it for Enter Sandman, Holier Than Thou, and The Unforgiven.
>>64216986
>shitting on the best thrash album of the past decade
c'mon son
RTL title track seems really fast but it's actually only 150 bpm, which is mid/uptempo. I think FFWF is the fastest track on the album.
ride the lightning, kill em all and master of puppets will forever be fantastic albums if you like the genre or not.
>>64218256
i disagree completely. the first album is unpolished in a great way. you can feel the youthful energy on it that is completely gone by justice.
and justice for all is pretty shit desu senpai. one is a great song but all of the other songs on the album have such a shitty guitar tone and they all sound the same. i will give lars credit on that album though because i think it was the peak of his drumming on record and probably ever.
>>64219332
You could say the same shit about kill em all. Only difference is you look like a casual if one is the only song you can get. Breh.
Also Burton got crushed so you think there'd be a different tone.
Also fuck kill em all.
>>64219332
Justice was horribly mixed, but the songwriting was great; a bit pretentious, but it's some great melodic thrash
Rust in Peace is by far the superior album though
>>64219173
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q406vgOTrPY
I can see James still hasn't lost his ability to do that 200+ bpm downpicking. And I wish people would stop being butthurt about them skipping part of the solo here since they haven't played it since early in the 1988 tour.
>>64219414
at least kill em all has some semblance of variety and passion. it also has undeniable classics like jump in the fire and the four horsemen. justice sounds like they set out to make a br00tal album that they could chug all the way to the bank.
>>64210763
Stop right there, and never listen to Metallica again, it's their only decent album.
>>64219477
> listens to metal but criticizes chugging
Also variety on kill em all? Fuck album are you listening to?
>>64219453
i have tried to get into AJFA... but i just can't. i've had all sorts of albums be growers on me but i just don't think i can get into that one. i blame cliff
>>64219556
I'm sure you hate Death Magnetic
The stage/sound setup at their shows nowadays is so...lame. They use a guitar tone that doesn't fit the music and their amps are way too small and quiet.
Shit, Lemmy at the end was so fragile that his body was almost blown over by their giant Spinal Tap amps, but he never wimped out and turned down the volume. Megadeth still play as loud as possible as well.
>>64219597
Death magnetic is meant to be shat on. Hetfields voice is too fucked to play in standard.
>>64219622
>Hetfields voice is too fucked to play in standard
He's sounding pretty good on recent tours while he was awful in 2008-12.
>>64218638
I won't support bands who have such incredibly contempt for their fanbases while making that much money off them.
You can't defend pic related.
>>64219651
I think it'd be neat if they went back to drop c for the new tunes.
>>64218276
pls notice bbs
>>64218276
>>64219694
>>64219678
Caring for history instead of music? Come the fuck on. You're going to miss out on a lot of great music if that's your approach.
>>64219550
i like a good chug but not when it sounds literally all the same as it does on justice.
yes, variety. jump in the fire, motorbreath, seek and destroy, the four horseman and hit the lights are all distinct and interesting songs. personally i think the whole album is great, a classic that i can comfortably say id rank higher than master of puppets at this point (though that's probably from overplaying MOP as a teenager). kill em all feels inspired and raw, its a great listen
>>64219682
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-L5zwDtwPc
He even brings back his growly voice here.
>>64219727
Metallica have enough retarded fans, they don't need you or me.
>>64219597
i never listened to the whole thing but the impression i got from the few songs i did hear is that they are at least trying again.
im the guy who hates the black album though
>>64219735
Dyers eve alone is more interesting than anything off of KEA.
The infamous Metallica/Motley Crue beef was pretty much just marketing glop given that both bands were on the same label (Elektra Records).
>>64219651
Ozzy has been pretty good on the Sabbath finale tour. Though in his defense, he does not have to play and sing at the same time.
>>64219758
Death Magnetic is basically "we ran out of ideas, so let's just do an incredibly AJFA-inspired album and hope it works"
The band must really be in dire straits, because there's literally no excuse for only having one new song in eight years (not counting Lulu)
Megadeth has better whole albums but Metallica has better individual songs.
If I have a few minutes to listen to something I'll put on Fade to Black or Battery, but if I have more time Rust in Peace or Peace Sells is a more likely choice.
>>64219862
>>64219862
Don't the Rolling Stones have like one new song in 10 years?
>>64219862
Wish they would slow done and detune.
>>64219862

The fuck is with the praise for KEA? That like a young thing to do? I can't name a single person in real life who actually brings it up.
>>64215544
It has good riffs and good drumming besides the snare tone. Its amazing what cringy lyrics, the influence of post grunge and no guitar solos can do to an album

Are you retarded or just trolling?
>>64224090
That's exactly how it really is.
Ride the Lightning was one of the first metal albums I ever bought. It changed my life when I was a kid.
Ten years later I'm firmly out of my metalhead phase and don't listen to a great deal of "metal" anymore but a good deal of what I do listen to is still pretty aggressive.
>>64226147
>le angry repetitive shit production justice for all is amazing because it's 80s metallica hurr durr
kill yourself
>>64220503
yeah their first two albums are incredible
>>64226211
Everyone even back then bitched about the production. The riffs and songs however, leave black and load in the dust.
AJFA was the last real Metallica album.
>>64226234
I would say that everything Maiden did through the Powerslave era was absolute top notch. Even their lesser material was pretty good stuff. Live, they were incredible.
To me all of metallica albums are great in their own way, Always have fun listening to them, and i will Always have metallica has my favorite band, and megadeth my 2nd favorite but i love them so much as bands and get really touched by their music and i wish more people here would feel like that instead of trying to be superior to everyone else. Just love the music man, if you like st anger then go listen to it, people take opinions here way too seriously. Probably gonna get a lot of shit now but thats ok cuz i dont give a shit and will remain happy listening to all megadeth and metallica albums
>>64226249

thoughts on the book of souls?
>>64226636
Most of the songs are overlong but the core of the songs are solid, So it's enjoyable but fades into the background fairly often. 7/10
Kill em all 9/10
Ride the lightning 10/10
Master of puppets Flawless/10
And justice for all 9.5/10
Black album 9/10
Load 8.5/10

St anger 5/10
Death magnetic 8/10
>>64226707

fucking stop
>>64226899
you're right
Death magnetic 9/10
>>64226931
How can you be this deluded, Lars?
>>64226943
Look it's not at that flawless 10/10 level and you won't convince me otherwise.
Death magnetic 9/10 is as high as I go
>>64226979
In the context of their discog Death Magnetic is even lower than fucking St. Anger, because that one at least took risks. DM is nothing more than trying hard to emulate the sound of their glory days, shamelessly and unconvincingly.
heres what i think, this is including only the official studio albums asdwell as important live releases and EP's to come from them.
5.5/10 - No Life Till Leather (8.5/10 from a demo point of view)
9.2/10 - Kill em All
9.5/10 - Ride The Lightning
8.5/10 - Master of Puppets
8.2/10 - The $5.98 EP
7.7/10 - ...And Justice For All
7.5/10 - Metallica (The Black Album)
5.9/10 - Load
6.2/10 - ReLoad
7.9/10 - Garage Days
6.8/10 - S&M (Because Of The Novelty)
7.5/10 - St Anger
7.8/10 - Death Magnetic
6.6/10 - Six Feet Down Under EP I+II (ep II i would rate almost a 7/10)
4.5/10 - Lulu (w/ Lou Reed)
5.1/10 - Beyond Magnetic
Upcoming:
9/10 for excitment
5/10 for probability of dissapointment
Personally their live recordings are all around the 4 or 5/10 mark. their live show is more about the energy than the music as James's voice is below par from what ive experienced.
