This was wicked!! I think the best part was that our opinions differ a little bit. I love this kinda stuff. I've gotta add my ranking to your Ozzy video! Here's how Metallica ranks for me: 10. Death Magnetic 9. Hardwired... to Self-Destruct 8. St. Anger 7. Load 6. Reload 5. Metallica 4. ... And Justice for All 3. Ride the Lightning 2. Kill 'Em All 1. Master of Puppets
Of course, we’ll all hear things differently that’s what makes it interesting, if we all had the same opinions it would be boring! 😂 surprised at your bottom two! Cheers mate!
10) St. Anger (I really dig the title track, and some pretty decent riffs) 9) Death Magnetic 8) Load 7) And Justice for All 6) ReLoad 5) Metallica 4) Hard Wire... To Self Destruct 3) Ride The Lightning 2) Master of Puppets 1) Kill em All
Great ranking mate enjoyed your thoughts. Mine are 1: And Justice For All 2: Master Of Puppets 3: Ride The Lightning 4: The Black Album 5: Kill Em All 6: Garage Days Ep(had to add it) 7: Hardwired 8: Reload 9: Death Magnetic 10: Load 11: St Anger Take care brother😀🤘
10. Reload 9. Load 8. St Anger 7. Hardwired to Self Destruct 6. Death Magnetic 5. Kill Em All 4. Black Album 3. Ride the Lighting 2. Master of Puppets 1. And Justice For All
I have the same top 2 as you , but your right the top 4 are where’s it at ! Keep the ranking videos coming , they are great conversation starters & it’s always fun to see how we see & hear some of our favourite bands ! Cheers Scott 🍻
totally agree with St.Anger being last on your list, think it would be last on everyone's list, I really do like Load and Reload, there are some really strong songs on both of those albums Fixxxer, King Nothing, Devils Dance, Ronnie just to name a few, Death Magnetic is alright few good tunes All Nightmare Long is a Killer tune but yeah my top four would be the same, I seen the Justice tour in 89 where Queensryche opened and it was a killer concert, but yes my number 1. would be ....Master of Puppets i bought that cassette when it first came out and not even knowing any of those songs, i had a huge poster on my wall and thought Lars was the vocalist because he was the one who stood out in every photo haha, awesome vid bro
Now that would be a change in dynamics of Lars was singing! Haha you can hand pick tracks from the bottom three but the the first four are so strong they could never live up to them. Cheers Dan!
Nice ranking. Their first five are hard to beat. Here's mine 1. Ride the Lightning 2. Master of Puppets 3. ... And Justice for All 4. Metallica and Kill Em All, it's hard for me to pick between these two. I like the production on Metallica but the riffs on Kill Em All are better. 5. Death Magnetic 6. Hardwired to Self-Destruct 7. Load 8. Reload 9. St. Anger
I would but I’ve only fully heard the first 5, not interested in the others to be honest, from the bits and pieces I’ve heard they’re not worth the listen. The first 5 would be 5. Adrenalize 4. On through the night 3. Hysteria 2. Pyromania 1. High n dry 👍
Good ranking mate, everyone has there own tastes. 10. St Anger 9. Load 8. Reload 7. Hardwired... to self destruct 6. Death Magnetic 5.The Black album 4. Kill em all 3. And justice for all 2. Ride the lightning 1. Master of puppets
Hi Scott!!! I think this is the first rank i'm 100% agree with it..... nothing to discuss, however i don't own S/T, Load & Reload maybe try to get first Garage Inc and then the black album, not sure about the other two maybe if they are dirt cheap. Cheers!!
My top 4: Master of Puppets, Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning and AJFA. I know it doesn't count but Garage Days Re-Revisited gets played at my house more than any of them except AJFA.
Excellent ranking Scott. Even though I've not heard the majority of Metallica, I was interested to see where you placed them. And when you talked about the black album and how bands evolve and change over time, that was spot on. No band ever stays exactly the same all the way through their career. A very professional account. 👍
Thanks Bev, obviously people are disappointed when their favourite bands change, we’ve all been there, but you’ve got to look at the big picture I suppose.
Good vid Scott I tried so much to like st anger but I agree with what you say it’s just boring It has to be lightning and justice for me lightning was the first speed metal album I ever heard and I still love it after all these years cheers dean
They seemed to peak too early, even if they’d strayed a little then went back to their thrash roots they would’ve redeemed themselves, but those 3 albums in the middle really drag their discography down. Thanks Dean!
Great ranking yes ranking those first 4 albums is always hard. I also ranking ride the lightning as number 1 I just love the dark raw atmosphere of that album.
Good effort Scott, always enjoy these type of videos. I still have not heard the bottom 3 albums on your list, i really should but they get so much shit it has put me off. I do enjoy Death Magnetic and you are spot on with Hardwired. Black has never clicked with me but MoP will always be #1 for me.
1. And Justice for All 2. Master of Puppets 3. Ride The Lightning 4. Kill 'Em All 5. Metallica 6. Hardwired to Self-Destruct 7. Death Magnetic 8. Load 9. St. Anger 10. ReLoad
Great video mate!! I think if St Anger was released by another band, it might have gotten away with it, but for Metallica’s standards it is poor imo!! I don’t like either of the Load albums either!! It may change in order, but I don’t think anyone will argue with the top 4! Good to see you for more than a few minutes at a time & not frozen, lol!! Stay safe my friend!!🤘🏻
Haha yeah good to be on screen for more than five minutes! New iPhone arriving tomorrow! It’ll be a while before I stick any of those bottom three albums on again. Cheers Marc, hope you’re all good mate!
My Rankings: 15. Lulu 14. St. Anger 13. Beyond Magnetic 12. S&M2 11. RELoad 10. Hardwired...To Self-Destruct 9. Death Magnetic 8. Load 7. ...And Justice For All 6. Garage Inc. 5. Kill Em' All 4. Metallica 3. Ride The Lightning 2. Master Of Puppets 1. S&M
Scott, love Metallica! I know St Anger gets a bad rap for good reason, but I really like Frantic. The Unnamed Feeling is also a classic. I like the rough nature. Ride The Lightning was my first Metallica album. Fight Fire With Fire still gets to me. Master is such a classic! I still remember listening to Justice on the school bus as a kid for the first time. Blew me away! And the video for One....classic! Thank you😀
I know Cliff died before ...And Justice, but I always wonder where the band would've gone if he never died. Black Album and back is where its at. 5) Black album 4) Kill 'em All 3, 2, 1) Lightning, Justice, and Puppets rotate depending on the mood.
Perfect description of St Anger. Utter shit it was. I'm same with Load Reload. I don't know which is which. I think when I ranked these minecwas different but after watching this and it being a couple of years later I'm probably only changing Justice to the number 1 and everything else probably the same. Good video Scott
Cool ranking. I enjoy most of Metallica’s albums and even like a couple of songs from St Anger and the Loads. Of course the early albums are still their best work.
Last: St. Anger (the busted snare and the guitars sound awful, and they tried to cram 75 minutes of material into a 50-60 minute album) Not concrete: Kill 'Em All, ...And Justice For All, Black Album, Load and Reload (these should have been a triple album with better artwork), Death Magnetic Best three: Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, Hardwired
With Load and Reload, since there are 27 songs, I realised they could be done over three discs - so forget Load and forget Reload, I present a triple album that I call Loaded. Disc one has the classic sound, disc two has a mixed bag of classic and experimental, and disc three is more experimental. Running-time wise, you have 46½ minutes (Disc 1), 47 minutes (Disc 2), and 62½ minutes (Disc 3 despite all songs exceeding five minutes, six songs exceeding six minutes, and the full version of The Outlaw Torn as the closer). So without any further ado, here is the Loaded tracklist: Disc 1 1. Fuel 2. Wasting My Hate 3. Poor Twisted Me 4. Until It Sleeps 5. 2 X 4 6. Thorn Within 7. The Memory Remains 8. Attitude 9. Fixxxer Disc 2 1. Ain't My Bitch 2. Cure 3. Bad Seed 4. Hero Of The Day 5. King Nothing 6. The Unforgiven II 7. Devil's Dance 8. Better Than You 9. Prince Charming Disc 3 1. The House Jack Built 2. Ronnie 3. Bleeding Me 4. Slither 5. Mama Said 6. Where The Wild Things Are 7. Carpe Diem Baby 8. Low Man's Lyric 9. The Outlaw Torn (full version)
Great ranking, some other band re-did St. Anger. Sounds great, you may've heard it? Makes me sad at the same time because obviously the 'Tallica version should be like that. ...Lars and Co. never concede defeat though; our ears are just wrong.
Can't argue with those placing. I have the same top 4 and they're the only albums of there's I really listen to now. I like hardwired a lot but being on 2cds is very inconvenient and spoils it a bit 🤘🤘🤘
10. Reload 9. Kill em all(nothing special besides Phantom lord and metal militia) 8. Hardwired 7. RTL( same with kill em all just 3 great songs, for me the rest is just good not that great like most people say) 6. St Anger (dont hate me please( 5. Death Magnetic 4. load 3. the black album 2. Master 1. Justice
10) Hardwired
9) St. Anger
8) Death Magnetic
7) S&M
6) Load/Reload
5) AJFA
4) Kill Em All
3) Black Album
2) Ride The Lightning

I totally agree Darcy, it’s interesting to see what order people put a discography it says a lot. Cheers mate!
Nice job! I can't do a Metallica ranking vid because I haven't bought any of their stuff after AJFA.
Top 4 vid? 😜
First Metallica ranking I've come across where I agree with every single pick.

Can you do a def Leppard album ranking
I would but I’ve only fully heard the first 5, not interested in the others to be honest, from the bits and pieces I’ve heard they’re not worth the listen. The first 5 would be 5. Adrenalize 4. On through the night 3. Hysteria 2. Pyromania 1. High n dry 👍
I like your views on each album...personally think And Justice For All is severely underrated and should be at top...just me. thanks for your take!

Yes only if they’re dirt cheap! Lol cheers Cristian
@@therockscout8465 yes indeed!!!

You make it count, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! 😉

Thanks Bev, obviously people are disappointed when their favourite bands change, we’ve all been there, but you’ve got to look at the big picture I suppose.
Great Video! I have the "Hardwired...To Self-Destruct" Vinyl Box Set.
Nice one! Cheers mate!
@@therockscout8465 Thanks!
I feel like load and reload would have made a killer single album if they had just put the best songs from the two albums together
Good vid Scott I tried so much to like st anger but I agree with what you say it’s just boring It has to be lightning and justice for me lightning was the first speed metal album I ever heard and I still love it after all these years cheers dean
They seemed to peak too early, even if they’d strayed a little then went back to their thrash roots they would’ve redeemed themselves, but those 3 albums in the middle really drag their discography down. Thanks Dean!
Great ranking yes ranking those first 4 albums is always hard. I also ranking ride the lightning as number 1 I just love the dark raw atmosphere of that album.
It’s just where it’s at for me although it is tough! I would love to have heard what they would’ve come up with if they’d stayed on the thrash course.
Good effort Scott, always enjoy these type of videos. I still have not heard the bottom 3 albums on your list, i really should but they get so much shit it has put me off. I do enjoy Death Magnetic and you are spot on with Hardwired. Black has never clicked with me but MoP will always be #1 for me.
I would give them a listen it’ll make you appreciate the early stuff even more!

I know Cliff died before ...And Justice, but I always wonder where the band would've gone if he never died.
Black Album and back is where its at.
5) Black album
4) Kill 'em All
3, 2, 1) Lightning, Justice, and Puppets rotate depending on the mood.
Fair assessment, and can’t argue with the list!
Perfect description of St Anger. Utter shit it was. I'm same with Load Reload. I don't know which is which. I think when I ranked these minecwas different but after watching this and it being a couple of years later I'm probably only changing Justice to the number 1 and everything else probably the same. Good video Scott
Load and Reload sounded very alike, but Reload seemed to have a bit extra. Might go back and watch your ranking again.
For me the top 4 albums are and Justice, Master (those two albums could be flipped maybe), Kill Em All and Ride \m/
Can’t argue with that top 4! 🤘
Cool ranking. I enjoy most of Metallica’s albums and even like a couple of songs from St Anger and the Loads. Of course the early albums are still their best work.
I liked a couple off the loads but nothing that blew me away. Cheers Brendan! 🤘
Last: St. Anger (the busted snare and the guitars sound awful, and they tried to cram 75 minutes of material into a 50-60 minute album)
Not concrete: Kill 'Em All, ...And Justice For All, Black Album, Load and Reload (these should have been a triple album with better artwork), Death Magnetic
Best three: Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, Hardwired
With Load and Reload, since there are 27 songs, I realised they could be done over three discs - so forget Load and forget Reload, I present a triple album that I call Loaded.

Running-time wise, you have 46½ minutes (Disc 1), 47 minutes (Disc 2), and 62½ minutes (Disc 3 despite all songs exceeding five minutes, six songs exceeding six minutes, and the full version of The Outlaw Torn as the closer).
So without any further ado, here is the Loaded tracklist:
Disc 1
1. Fuel

3. Poor Twisted Me
4. Until It Sleeps
5. 2 X 4
6. Thorn Within
7. The Memory Remains

Great ranking, some other band re-did St. Anger. Sounds great, you may've heard it? Makes me sad at the same time because obviously the 'Tallica version should be like that. ...Lars and Co. never concede defeat though; our ears are just wrong.
I obviously wasn’t listening to it the right way lol
I’ve always played the DVD that came with my CD copy of St Anger as the drums sound so much better. Still doesn’t stop it being a dodgy album though!
...And Justice for All and Master of Puppets are the pinnacle for me. Load & Reload are the absolute worst.
You left out a couple albums
I was only ranking the full length studio albums 🤘
Can't argue with those placing. I have the same top 4 and they're the only albums of there's I really listen to now. I like hardwired a lot but being on 2cds is very inconvenient and spoils it a bit 🤘🤘🤘
10. Reload
9. Kill em all(nothing special besides Phantom lord and metal militia)
