Kill 'Em All for all time, but Ride the Lightning is a solid second choice, with ...And Justice for All being highly worthy as well. Master of Puppets is cool too I guess. I hear they have other albums but I could be wrong.

I love how the excited response to the album at the time of its release wasn't because it was actually good, it was because it didn't suck as much as everyone expected it to.

Also it's way better than the Load albums, that's a no brainer. Don't give me that revisionist crap about those albums being acceptable.

I think the revisionist crap is more due to nostalgia from when people were in high school and they liked the singles. Those albums do have some pretty fun pop rock singles, but other than that they're pretty tedious to listen to as a whole. Hardwired to Self-Destruct was basically the first time in forever where Metallica actually managed to kick a notable amount of ass, but I can literally not remember a single thing from it so I'm chalking it up to all style but no substance.

Pretty much. When you go back to your roots without having watered them first, you won't get flowers or some **** that implies that they've lost their ability to make anything meaningful

Let's be honest, they were a good thrash band who peaked when they reached the end of their progressive ability and then coasted on their pop abilities until they ran out of good choruses.
