Favorite And Least Favorite Metallica album?

True though, that song has a very groovy riff.

I listened to the first couple of songs from Lulu for the first time after hearing how bad it is, surely it can't be as bad as St Anger. I assure you St anger sounds like a masterpiece in comparison. I could not stomach having to sit through all of that.

Okay, I got to actually listen to some of it finally. I'll do the View for the memes.

Despite how bad it is, apparently this is the best song on LuLu... lol

^what is the song Steven?

My revised list (updated to include 72 Seasons):

1. ...And Justice For All - One
2. Master Of Puppets - Disposable Heroes
3. Ride The Lightning - Escape
4. Metallica - Through The Never
5. Kill 'Em All - No Remorse
6. 72 Seasons - Chasing Light
7. Hardwired To Self Destruct - Spit Out The Bone
8. Death Magnetic - All Nightmare Long
9. Reload - Where The Wild Things Are
10. Load - The House Jack Built
11. St. Anger - The Unnamed Feeling

The View. If you put those riffs on something with actual music instead of Lou's nonsense rambling, they would be pretty good. But it's mainly my "favorite" ironically, as it makes me laugh. James really seems to be taking himself so seriously as the table.

It's been 15 months since my initial post.

Revised and decisions made:

...And Justice for All (Highest peak - Babe Ruth)

Ride the Lightning (Most consistently even -Ty Cobb)

Master of Puppets (A close third. Willie Mays)

Metallica (I know what and why they did it. Well, they nailed it! Like Bonds )

Death Magnetic  (Not loved by critics. Booed by his own fans. Did it his way and was awesome -Ted Williams)

Hardwired is pretty decent though.  But why they refuse to fix the bass on "...And Justice For All" is a travesty and generally how they treated Jason Newstead really pisses me off.

The reason DM has crappy sound is because they turned up the volume in post which distorted the sound. It's actually good production. St. Anger is just crappy production. The reason they didn't fix the bass is because they feel like it's wrong to rewrite history, and they think it'll make the album sound completely different.

Turning up the volume is crappy production, it over compresses the sound.

Yep. I love the songs on DM, but the sound is absolute pants.

Yes it does compress the sound. But that doesn't mean the production sucks, it's called POST-production, a.k.a, after the actually production. The production is thick and actually good, but turning up the volume in post distorts the sound making sound crappy.

But anyways. My favorite album is ...And Justice For All, because... it's ...AJFA. And my least favorite is Lulu. It's hard to even call it an album.

It is now illegal you refer to DM's sound quality as anything other than "pants"
