Puppets is a worthy choice; quite solid from start to finish; i'm also fond of the Justice album. I also think Reign In Blood could be the one.. Best of all time; very debatable depending on your listening preference.
Is Mindcrime considered to be the greatest metal album of all time?
- Thread starter JayKeeley
- Start date
It's definitely not Puppets because it's got Leper Messiah. If there was any Metallica album in the top 3 of all time, it would have to be RtL (I mean, that's more about common sense if you think about its overall consistency).
Otherwise we're talking somewhere between NAD's RiP and Gugs' OM as the greatest heavy metal album of all time.
To Jason's point, I'm sure if there was a massive consensus, however, it would probably end up going to Mindcrime just because it's so widely hailed. It's actually quite bizarre how many people obsess about it (even non Queensryche fans).

You've lost me here. Why does "Leper Messiah" hurt "Master"?JayKeeley said:
Agreed. I think it's their best work by a healthy margin.JayKeeley said:
RiP is a classic, no doubt. But I don't think it's in the same league as "Mindcrime". To me, "Mindcrime" is a perfect CD. If you were using a rating scale of 1,000,000 possible points, "Mindcrime" would get a 1,000,000 out of 1,000,000.JayKeeley said:

It's the chink in the armoUr. I've skipped this track so many times, it's as if it doesn't even exist on the album anymore.

Leper Messiah = worst song from the first four Metallica albums. Yep, even worse than Shortest Straw.

When they put "riff salad" in the dictionary they need a picture of that song. Or a TAB. or whatever.
It's unstructured and dumb, in fact probably THE worst song of the first 4 albums
I mean you know something is wrong when to patch a "song" together you need to FADE IN and FADE OUT different parts

Yeah OK I'm exaggerating 'cause the main thing is that the acoustic part totally has NOTHING to do with the rest of the song
Also
That James or whomever it is sounds so completely fuckin bored when he says those four lines, I mean christ could you get anyone to sound any more dry and unemotional for a song that's supposedly a tribute to Cliffy
Anyway if it wasn't Metallica that wrote it and if Cliff didn't die noone would give two shits about that track. It's basically fucking nothing when you get your nostalgia goggles off
