Am I the only one that can stand St.Anger? There are a few songs I still like, lol.
Ride the lightning is by far my favorite album, ever. Fight fire with Fire, Ride the Lightning, Fade to Black, Trapped under Ice, Creeping Death, all excellent.
Master of puppets in my opinion is their weakest old album though, some great songs on it, but it gets repetitive easy in my opinion. Kill em all is great, same with AJFA.
I also love Black album, Garage inc, Load, Reload. All great stuff if you don't look at it in the perspective of "This is metallica?".
