    Growing up during the post black album era Metallica, the albums Metallica, Load and Reload have a special place in my heart and I don´t hate those like many others do but I do listen more to the earlier stuff today. St Anger and beyond are more of unknown territory for me. I do own Hard wired to self destruct and Death Magnetic on vinyl but I do not play them a lot. Cool ranking James, if anyone is going to rip you a new one it will probably be (like you suspected) about having Black Album over Ride the lightning, but quite honestly I love black album.😄

    Master of Puppets, And Justice For All and Ride The Lightning are my top 3 in no particular order. Never that keen on Kill Em All, and never got into The Black Album. One album I love thats never been that popular is Load. Not sure why, but that album just clicked for me. Lot of great tracks on that, with Outlaw Torn being my favourite

  • @metalmickey
    @metalmickey 3 роки тому +11

    I think a lot of hate comes from the fact that people love the first 4 so much and they dropped so far. They not only changed with the Black album but they changed the guitar tone after that from a metal tone on the Black album to a rock tone on everything else including Hardwired. It's still just a rock tone. I think Lars was always sub par but he was hidden by the surrounding music but when that wasn't there he was then exposed.

    • @mrboulder9714

    Man we have almost the exact same ear or taste in Metallica music. Wholeheartedly agree that Trapped Under Ice is soooo underrated. MOP is definitely their best album. The only difference for me is that I have Justice at number 2 and RTL 3rd KEA at 4th but they're all very close after MOP. I also found it very interesting that you love Struggle Within. That's another criminally underrated song. Love the beginning military sounding drums and bomb drop riff. Great video and list my man.

    Also i heard as well James dislike of Escape on Ride The Lightning but it was a song partly pushed to be on the album as it was slightly more "radio friendly" and it has a very catchy chorus guitar.

      I'm gonna say it's there best album. In my opinion anyway, I think nostalgia gives those first few so much love which is understandable, u see that a lot of the time where someone's favourite album by a band is the first one they got into depending on their age. I've listened to the first 4 recently and in my opinion puppets is way overated, title track starts off great but gets boring in the middle when it stops and starts back up, battery is a stupid song lyrically. Is he singing about a car battery or something, sanatarium is a good song. But to me the album is not as good as it's made out to be. The debut and ride the lightening are better in my unpopular opinion and in justice would be my favourite of the early ones.

    Just discovered you recently! I like your stuff.
    I like every Metallica album, sure St. Anger is rough but I still enjoy it, my least favourite thing about it are the cheesy lyrics, the snare drum? Lack of solos? Don't care. It's a fun album, just some of the lyrics make me cringe.
    All the rest of them I really enjoy, have no problems with them. Master of Puppets is probably my favourite album, favourite Metallica songs overall would definitely be For Whom The Bell Tolls (AMAZING SONG) The Thing That Should Not Be, Fade To Black, Welcome Home Sanitarium and maybe actually Just A Bullet Away. Really like most of their stuff though. For Whom The Bell Tolls I tend to put on quite a lot, the instrumentation on that song is just fantastic, and that groovy guitar.
    Personally I like James voice in all of his albums but I much prefer his younger voice in the first 4 or 5 albums, sounds more unique.
    I think I agree that Black Album is better than Ride the Lightning, both great albums and From Whom The Bell Tolls is my favourite Metallica song ever.... but Black Album personally just has more good songs on it.

    Finally, another person that considers FFWF one of the greatest songs they've ever written. It's my favorite off RTL and may very well be in my top 5 songs from the band. The intro/that fast crushing riff that fades in/James vocal delivery/one of kirks best solo's without a doubt/the duel guitar melody after the solo..Watching them play this as an encore at Metal Hammerfest 85' is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Hetfield was possessed and as far as I'm concerned when Metallica were at their very peak live.
    Metallica showed that they can be just as brutal as any other thrash metal band in the 80's with that song. They just know when to put on the brakes and add a plethora of dynamics to their music when they want to. I honestly don't need to get any faster or heavier than FFWF and Disposable Heroes, Dyers Eve etc. That sh*t is timeless.

    My fav is Ride The Lightning. It's basically the template for the next two albums.
    Example: Fight Fire w/ Fire. Clean guitar intro that leads into a speedy thrasher... Battery, Blackened.
    Second track, is the title track... Master, Justice.
    The "ballad" at track four. I mean, Fade to Black, Welcome Home, and One are basically the same song. They all do the EXACT same formula. Clean guitars (basically the same notes on all these intros) with two Kirk solos and then segue into a thrashy heavy ending.
    Throw in an instrumental (well, practically an instrumental with To Live is to Die) and it's the same formula.
    I'm a huge fan of Ride, Master, and Justice. Is Master the band's apex? I can see that. The production is spot on. But for me, the leap the band took from Kill 'Em All to Ride was such uncharted territory. They had yet to repeat themselves. Master is often regarded as their best but, it is a re-hash of what they just did. That's why I think Ride The Lightning is their best and my fav.

    I agree on most of this as well. When Metallica Black album came along, they lost lots fans, gain lots, the Metallica AUDIENCE kind of changed. (I love it) Its the first album i heard of Metallica, then a friend brought over Ride The Lightning, and I'm like 😍🌩💣Next, I bought Master of Puppets, I literally listened to that MORE than any other music I had for well over a month. I couldn't put it down.

    If you want to listen the best version of …And Justice For All! then you should get the Columbia House Pressing! That version doesn’t use the DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) and the bass drums are very powerful on this one! The problem is it’s very expensive because everyone found out that this version kicks ass and the price keeps going up! I was very lucky to snipe this for $75 in mint condition, never been played!

    I think a lot of the hate, is to literally wind up the hardcore fans, who drool over the band without any sort of criticism. I still love the first four records, as they’re the pinnacle of the bands discography. You nailed it on Lars drumming. If it wasn’t for his drive and abilities to promote, they wouldn’t have made it. Especially after Cliff’s death. I have been considering doing a video on them again. Did two video’s on them a year or so ago, and it was pretty bad. That being said I still cannot stand Lars drumming at all.
    Ok ya killed me on Ride the Lightning
    being at 5 hahah. I totally agree on Trapped being super underrated.

    St. Anger is effing great. Metallica's 90s fans wanted Load 3, the 80s fans wanted Master 2, and they did neither and got endless hate for it. As to the production, it was perfect for this album. Including the snare.

      Can't say I agree with you on the production on St Anger as I think it's horrible but your opinion is respected. I definitely don't hate on St Anger as much as others do

      Apologies for not having the EXACT same taste as you 😂 For the record, I really enjoy Load, apart from Ronnie, which is a terrible song
