Anyone who knows me here - not really a frequent Music Banter poster, but I have posted here and there - you'll know what my favorite album is, so then you'd know what I feel is the best: Kill 'Em All... if you wanna know, "Kill 'Em All? By whom?" I'll answer: Metallica.

I happen to think that their 1st five albums are mostly masterpieces. I do not, however, see the Black Album as completely metal, but it's still damn good listening!

I don't think that I have listened to any other metal album and have come away feeling that every song on it is great. I mean, Judas Priest's British Steel is pretty close.

And no, I don't think Meat Loaf is metal... Or is it? What genre is Meat Loaf? Soft rock, hard rock?

Surprised no one mentioned any Nile albums... to me better than most metal from the 90's

Earth's The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull is the best recent metal.

Meh. They have some great moments, but not best of all-time material. Though "In Their Darkened Shrines" is a great album.

No one is ever going to agree on this subject!

If I had to pick three favourites I'd definitely go with:

Metallica's Master of Puppets.
Slayer's Reign In Blood
Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power.

I've been learning to appreciate Master of Puppets a lot more recently. It doesn't have the individual songs to compete with Ride the Lightning or And Justice for All, but it does have a near perfect album flow. It hits you in the face with "Battery", then the epic thrash of the title track, then it slows down at just the right point to batter you with the mid-paced but heavy as sin "The Thing that Should not Be", and then ends the A-side with "Sanitarium". The B-side follows the same idea as the A-side, it hits you with straight up thrash with "Disposable Heroes", then throws another slow, heavy, but absolutely vicious number with "Leper Messiah", then the instrumental "Orion" to give you a breather, before finally putting you out of your misery with "Damage Inc".

At no point are you allowed to get bored and the songs never run into each other and turn into a blur where you can't remember which song you're on. Every song is memorable and perfectly placed. I don't think I'd call it the best metal album ever, but Metallica were certainly perfectly in control of their craft from start to finish on that album.

The second best metal album ever recorded, after Roots of course.

You and your groove metal. Maybe one of these days you'll develop some taste.
