What options do you need? And yes, "up to" means including said album...
Loved it all up to and including Load, except for Live Shit: Binge and Purge (this is simply from a sonic standpoint (the mix sucks, though the footage on the videos was great) and the fact that "Seek and Destroy" was left in it's 18+ minute entirety. Unless you're there...Boooooooooooooooring!).

Sadly, there's only about 4 decent songs on Re-Load and those 4 they could have used to make Load a double disc set if they simply retimed the discs. There's a reason why the rest of the dross didn't make it onto Load in the first place.

S&M I won't count because it was nothing new. The concept was already done by Deep Purple back in 1970 and most of the tunes on S&M were old material, anyway. Now, if they had written a completely new set of material just for S&M, as Deep Purple did for the Concerto For Group and Orchestra, then I would have more stock in it.

Taint Cancer I'm not going to discuss because I've already gone into that turd of an album at length already. The fact that the album has completely disappeared off of Billboard's Top 200 chart of album sales so soon after it's release is merely proof that the once mighty Metallica really needs to rethink their strategies, dump Bob Rock as a producer and get someone in the studio to produce that can find the really good riffs and songwriting that the band was once famous for. Until they do, I'm not spending anymore money on them.

That's where I'm at with the band at this point. My vote on a Metallica poll would be pre-bob rock material.
