Very good but overall I would give Master of Puppets as their best. Just phenomenal all around. Edited August 12, 2021 by Big Salad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle with that album. It’s brilliant within its genre , but not easy on the ear for me. Ride The Lightning just plays so well. My favourite has always been their debut Kill Em’ All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Master Of Puppets is too complex sounding if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puppets is Metallica's masterpiece imo. The rhythm work is absolutely incredible on some tracks. All downhill after that album sadly and I dont think it's any coincidence its when they lost Cliff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just find Masters , too complex and I can’t get into it as much . Ride The Lightning is just perfect, although musically I will admit Masters is above it.

Lightning suffers from having two bad tracks in a row with Eascape and Trapped Under Ice (both stinkers imo). Creeping Death and For whom the Bell Tolls are top drawer Tallica though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That drum solo track Moby Dick really grates and doesn’t fit well with the albums flow at all. Such a wasted riff by Jimmy Page, too, as it’s a killer blues lick . Not a drum solo fan at all anyway . Totally agree on all points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought The Black Album was nice overall though. 'Enter Sandman' is one of my favorite tracks from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masters favourite for me too, but I can understand why others will say Ride the Lightning or Kill ‘Em All - both great choices. I go through phases of preferring them but Masters is the pinnacle. anybody or says something different to those 3 is just wrong. Whilst some will say the Black Album, sure it’s got good tracks on it but it’s got some right rubbish as well. Hence the need to play it backwards when they do the full album set. Reign in Blood is crazy good don’t get me wrong, but I just prefer Masters. I’m sure the world is big enough for both though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep cuts FTW (for any band)...it's like when I wanna hear Steamboat or Marcella by the Beach Boys...and the radio will only play Barbara **** Ann or bastard Kokomo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 @Zhan_Zhuang...don't know if you ordered the Beach Boys "Feel Flows Boxset"? Amazon have cancelled a shitload of peoples orders for the 5cd set including mine. Had to find it elsewhere. Happily the 4 disc coloured vinyl set is still good to arrive although that wasn't from Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah no doubt it is played more than the others I'll give you that; even still though I listen to the whole thing when it does just can't help it. Same thing on my local rock station where they tend to overplay War Pigs. One of my faves by Sabbath, but do wish they would play a bit more of their other stuff.
