You can hear the energy Mustaine brought with his solos. Manic shit. It’s like your waiting for your speakers to go on fire.

And Justice For All
Master of Puppets
Ride The Lightening
Load
Black Album
Death Magnetic
Reload
Hardwired
St Anger
Lulu
Last two are utter garbage: two of the worst albums I have ever heard. Death Magnetic would've been placed higher if the production was better. Load is underrated.

Mustaine was sort of like KK Downing and Glen Tipton rolled into one. Lots of wild, chaotic aggression but a more technical side and strong songwriting too.

I'm a listen to Kill, Ride, Puppets and Justice again. See what's up.
Kill - As an album a little samey with weak production but I'd take Hit the Lights, Whiplash, Seek & Destroy, Metal Miltia. They are all fine though, just lack definition.
Ride - I can see Kill is the baseline, there's hints of more ambition with Lighning, the Bell and Fade are another level. It returns to the baseline then Creeping Death seems better production than Kill. Last one is more interesting instrumental.
Puppets - Puppets struggles through. The song itself has more personality than anything on Kill. But then its slim pickings between Battery and Leper. I like Orion. But nothing as good as Bell or Fade.
Justice - Again the baseline is there and improving production continues. One obviously standout, but there's Harvester of Sorrow and To Live is to Die is great.
To me the Black album has more clear cut songs, whereas these 4 albums do 1 or 2 different things to varying success.
Ride was the high point, then Justice and Kill hard to say, Puppets is a little all over the place.

The production on justice is shit. Lars had alot of input into the mixing and it shows. Lacks any sonics. Turning the bass down because Jason was the new boy was unforgivable.

I can only do a decade version of this list:
80's: MOP> Ride/AJFA (tie)>KIll> 6 dollar EP
90's: Black Album> Reload>Load> Garage> SM
00's: St. Anger> Death Magnetic( I'm not joking, we all know the faults on St., Anger, but it grew me more more than DM)
10's: yeah, lol. Spit Out the Bone and Moth Into Flame in the AJFA tone is awesome though
No Life demo is great, in fact the even earlier demos are OK too. The never born Presidio album outtakes should have been made onto St. Anger in some form
Lulu is quite possibly the worst piece of recorded music ever in rock history, but even then, 'Tallica waste a fair number of good riffs with that over rated hack of a singer/clown/"60's counter culture icon"
i think it's cool that you could buy/listen ANY live shows from the past 20 years legally/officially. I think Metallica was the first big band in that regard
At some point, they were the best metal band in the 80's
Full blown Lars on coke, the whole band was on another level, some songs are the fastest recorded live performances here, almost on Slayer/early Kreator BPM level etc.. Fastest Fight Fire and Damage Inc there
absoutely awesome
i'd kill for this show in SBD quality
They were still pissed about Cliff around this time.... real relentless energy
After Cliff died, they went onto different ways musically and quality wise....

On Justice production seems consistent and vocals seem recoded better. It's not all over the place. St Anger is more about energy and the emotion of the song. Some of the early stuff is great musically but it's hard to tell what the song is about. Maybe it's the vinyl format. Megadeth albums are pretty well put together but there's less high points. The songs have strong identities though.

Just by the albums titles, the eyeliner, "edgy" 90's short hair cuts,
and the out of place headline gig at lollapalooza that nobody wanted to see,
should have been crystal clear by now that Metallica were done and over,
only a 2nd more obvious sell out cash grab was happening.
They were the kings of "try hard",
Trying to fit into a scene they did not belong.
These albums should be nowhere on a list of Metallica's best work.

I just had a full listen through of kill 'em all (sans that pulling teeth drivel), on my woofer sound system, and it's as good as ever
shockingly, there is not a single ballad on this album. it never stops, it is trashing front to back.
what is this? no other rock album does not contain any ballad. it's almost too badass to exist.
even slipknot has pussy ballads on their albums. metallica didnt, on this competent first album.
