Kill 'Em All > Master Of Puppets.
It's a highly underrated album. If it's true that technically for Metallica standards MOP is their best, KEA is one I enjoy much more. Reminds me big time of Motorhead and I can compare it a lot with Tank debut. Is fast, energetic and extremely METAL. I mean, it has that flavor of uncompromised, in-your-face, no holds barred, simple straightforward metal.
Songs like 'Motorbreath', 'Seek And Destroy', 'Phantom Lord', the great 'The Four Horsemen' and the astounding 'Whiplash' will have a place in eternity IMO.
NP: Tuatha De Danann - The Land's Revenge
Technically by higher standards best >>> Ride The Lightning... RTL imo is the more underrated album and the best Metallica album by far....
is that you Wyv as Satan clause? ...
AJFA can't be considered an oldschool album, and many people dislike it because everything after Cliffs death is shit in their opinion, but according to a 40 year old tapetrader I met, Cliff was involved in half of the songwriting for AJFA.
I don't think Kill em All is the most underrated album, IMO ...and Justie for all is the most underrated album! The songwriting is a superbe as on MOP, the albums only weak point is the screwed up sound (but there are some repaired bass-versions floating around youtube, they nearly sound like MOP)

Beside, it was the first Metallica album I heard/got, so its a rather unusual start to get into Metallica (the entrypoints are usually MOP, Black Album or St. Anger...-.-)
load and reload is metallica at its best, quantity meets quality!
1. Well maybe not equally as superb as MOP (=outstanding), but on the same (if not at an higher level than) RTL, and AJFA easily leaves the followups and KEA behind...
The songs just are not that rememberable since they are, well, underrated,
3. yes...yes it is...very 'special' fans...I know some of them...
I think AJFA is the least mainstream and least accessible album out of their 1st 4
