Metallica's Final Album

[November Reign]

What should have been Metallica's Final Album?
My vote is for ....and justice for all.

 

[Wyvern]

And Justice For All is quite acceptable, but it would have been better if they stopped at MOP.

I quite liked Load, Garage Inc is an album I couldn't do without, S&M was decent, I enjoyed Death Magnetic.

If they had quit when they did I would have never saw them in concert, may not have ever discovered them, and their influence on me might have been lost forever. If you want to pretend they quit after Justice, feel free. As for me? No thanks.

MAster of Puppets should have been their last album. It should have been followed 20 years later by Death Magnetic as their 20 year reunion gig.

I'm not so keen on Load but I echo all your other sentiments.

...And Justice For All (and that is also the only Metallica album I haven't gotten tired to listen to).

**Minority opinion**

They're still relevant. Granted, their post-Justice output doesn't hold a candle to their masterful 80s work, the music is still quite enjoyable.

I've actually been on a 90s metallica kick lately. While there's clearly a lot of BAD songs on those albums, I do find myself really digging most of Load and about 5 or 6 Reload songs. I've always liked St Anger and love Death Magnetic. In fact, I give DM an 8.5/10. It's, dare I say it, a great record (terrible production be damned).

Kill'm All. Never liked all that followed really....

 

[Victim of Deception]

...And Justice For All, though I think Death Magnetic is probably their best since then.

 

[Marco Spain]

"Metal up your ass"

 

[No-Mercy]

they shouldnt have released anything after the black album and hopefully by now they could release a solid record if they consolidated all the ideas from then til now.

and id still have my doubts.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

90's metallica is god awful

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Black Album.

 

[SolarAquarion]

Hopefully their next album will go back to their roots.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

DeathMagnetic was a step in the right direction, hopefully they can build on that foundation. It took some work just to get Metallica to say they play "metal" they kept avoiding the term for so long but it's clearly unavoidable.

 

[wdiv]

I don't see any reason that they should have stopped.

Quite acceptable? I know that "Justice" is a controversial album: a lot of people think it's bad and as many people think it's excellent, but that's Metallica's masterpiece, in my opinion.

 

[puppetlad]

And Justice For All is my favourite album, so i don't give a shit about anything after that

 

[Wyvern]

Quite acceptable? I know that "Justice" is a controverted album: a lot people think it's bad and as many people think it's excellent, but that's Metallica's masterpiece, in my opinion.

Beg to differ. MOP was their masterpiece and AJFA was a strong effort but started to lack the quality of the first three releases.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Most likely the next Metallica album will be the last.
