The music is ok, but I don't think it compares to earlier Metallica. But Megadeth did that with Countdown, as well.

I could live without ever hearing Metallica again, but I would miss their first two a fair bit along with Master, Justice, Hardwired, and the Loads to a lesser extent.
Ride the Lightning is by far my favourite Metallica album. And I do prefer their first four to pretty much everything else they've done except Load which I prefer to most of AJFA except for songs like Blackened which is better than anything on Load.
On Megadeth's end, I think Youthanasia and Countdown are pretty solid, though about half the songs on each album are like filler to me. Cryptic Writings is like the former albums but with more filler, and Risk is unlike anything Megadeth should have delved into stylistically.
This is unrelated to the rest of my post, but I like 90's, 00's, and 10's metal more than 70's and 80's. Metal innovated more in the 90's and 00's, though the 70's and 80's had the big task of laying down the groundwork for the genre, so I respect those decades for that, but I still think metal has been better since the 90's.
