The release of 72 Seasons seemed like a good time to go through Metallica's albums and rank them from worst to best. You know how this works. Got any suggestions for Rankings or Discography Retrospectives? Let me know! YEEEEAHHHHH
If you haven't heard, there's a fixed up remixed fan-version of Death Magnetic which is an improvement, but since they didnt have the original tapes, they could not fix it entierly, but it's loads better. Im so used to that one, I sometimes forget how bad the original mix really was.
I respect this list, and I also respect how high St Anger is placed, even though I am not a huge fan for the production and lyrics, I really like the snare drum in the album most of the time.
We are all free to disagree, but to put friggin' ST. ANGER over the Black Album, Hardwired and 72 Seasons is a damn joke. The whole album is TOO LONG, the songs all bite, there's no solos from Kirk at all, Bob Rock is playing the effing bass because they had pissed off Jason Newstead so badly, James is singing like his balls are tied with hot barbed wires, and Lars is banging like a short bus kid on his two tin cans. Put down the pipe. PLEASE. 🤡
Nice to see ...And Justice for All at #1. Hardly ever see that. It's an absolute masterpiece. My top 5: 1. Master of Puppets 2. ...And Justice for All 3. Ride The Lightning 4. Kill 'Em All 5. Death Magnetic The rest are average to downright shite.
My favourite would be the Live Shit : Binge and Purge. In my opinion it sounds how Metallica should sound on their albums. And they were at their peak and on top of the world.
I should have included Binge and Purge but because it also comes in video form I figured I’d narrow it down to save time… you’re right tho, it’s a classic.
justice and master are both at no1 then ride then kill... all the other I really do not know cuz i do not care much at all...i heard the new one and gave 2,5/5 at RYM. production sux too
thats was an awesome list i would change the last 2 and flipflop them i do think master of puppets is the best metallica but i do agree with how high you have st anger , that album is so hated on for some reason and i like how the drums sound every song dont need to have crazy ass drums with 4 or 5 percussions and double base all the time
Honestly I'd put Lulu above basically everything post-black album lol. I think the problem with it is mostly the production. If it was produced like a Harvey Milk album people would cut it a lot more slack
