Best 80's era Metallica album?

[Cold Gin]

I voted for Masters of Puppets, but it was a hard fight with Kill Em All.

 

[PiercedFromWithin1]

Master Of Puppets

Ride The Lightning all the way!!! A very influential album for me. Right up there with Slayer-Hell Awaits. I still think it's a masterpiece even though when I listen to them now I can't get it out of my mind how much they eat a bag of shit now.

 

[BTK]

my vote went to RTL...Great fucking album

I'm a little surprised Master is winning by such a big margin here! Most of my friends disagree with me when I say it's my favorite...They all seem to say Ride The Lightning!

AJFA without any doubt, thats the album that pretty much totally got me into metal, ride the lightning did originally, but AJFA solidified it i think, and i still think its the best all these years later

Master of Puppets was voted as the third greatest rock/metal album ever in a recent poll. I'm unsurprised, but also I disagree. I agree with your friends that Ride The Lightning is the best although, all four albums on this poll were excellent in my opinion.

Kill 'Em All when the Mustaine influence was still very clear. They went downhill after that album though RTL and MOP are still pretty good.

Gonna have to hand this one on over to Master of Puppets...Battery, Master of Puppets, Orion..doesn't get much better than that.

MASTER OF PUPPETS

RIDE THE LIGHTNING

I have to give the nodd to Ride. With anthems like "Die By My Hand", and timless classics like "Fight Fire with Fire" and "Fade to Black", I mean, come on!! Not to mention "Trapped Under Ice"-where all the other songs have some underlying meaning, Trapped is actually about a guy trapped under ice!!! Helluva song!!! This is to take nothing away from the other albums-to be honest, Metallica didnt have a single song that I didnt love until Load (of shit)!!! What was the deal with "Mama Said"?? If I wanted to listen to Garth fucking Brooks, I would have bought one of his shitty albums!!!!!

 

[MacMoney]

With anthems like "Die By My Hand",

I take it you mean Creeping Death with the Die By My Hand-part which was stolen from Exodus.

 

[Clairvoyant]

I went with Ride the lightning!!!

Ride the Lightning. Fuck you all.

Ride The Lightning. Fade to Black is what lead me into metal, RTL obviously gets my vote.

 

[Immortality]

I vote Master of Puppets. Pretty much a perfect album.
