Favorite Metallica Album

Well, Seek and Destroy and For Whom the Bell Tolls are not bad songs, but they were overplayed and were the favorite Metallica songs of non-Metal fans. They were the more radio friendly songs and were just slower and more simple (though Seek and Destroy gets pretty rad at times). Escape is just dumb and boring. As for the instrumentals, I don't categorically hate instrumentals, I just find those two a bit boring. I find myself waiting for the next song.

Keep in mind, I am not just some punk-kid picking on Metallica. I got into them in around 1983 and was right there for the release of RtL and MoP. I have listened to the first three (plus Garage Days) over and over for years, and those are the songs I grew tired of, or never really liked.

My favorite song is probably Trapped Under Ice.

I think "Orion" and "Call Of Ktulu" are two of the greatest instrumental songs in metal history! I could take or leave "Leper Messiah" or "Escape". The other "filler" songs you listed are excellent.

That being said, what's the point of being on a discussion board if you can't voice your opinion?

Fight Fire With Fire is still my fave 'Tallica song to this day. it's their most agressive.

...And Justice For All

CLOSELY followed by Master Of Puppets!!

But SERIOUSLY...one can't go wrong with ANY of the Metallica discs up to (and including OF COURSE) ...And Justice For All!! I also listen to the Black disc from time to time... I don't own ANYTHING from them after this disc. Suspect

Master, closely followed by Ride The Lightning.

My son has been on a Metallica and Deliverance kick for months, so I've heard a whole lot of Master lately.

Traditionally, Ride the Lightning has always been my fave, but recently, Garage, Inc. gets a lot of airtime around here.

Master Of Puppets hands down. Runner up (I'm probably in the minority here) is The Black Album. I wouldn't have become the well rounded metal head I am today if not for this album. This is the one that changed my life forever and even though I can understand why long-time Metallical fans never really liked this one I personally do not see how people can say it was not the same band that wrote ...And Justice For All.
