re: top three metallica albums?

You have Load above the black album and the black album above Ride the Lightning?

Yea, that nullifies the list right there.

Also, Death Magnetic is a decent album, but it is not good enough to be ranked as the 3rd best Metallica album.

And Kill em All at the bottom!?

Blasphemy on so many levels.

Death Magnetic is a type of album I expect from aging legends. It's what Metallica should have been making for the last 15 years. That said it will never have the same passion or authenticity that any of their 80's albums had.

Exactly how I would have described it.

It was a major improvement over St. Anger in many ways though. Hell, it was a major improvement in every way.

Agreed. Kill em All may not have invented thrash (it didn't), but it certainly was what put it on the map.

The problem that I always hear about Kill 'Em All is that the sound quality is terrible. Of course it is. It was the first album that Metallica put out back in '83.

Like you said, it was what brought thrash metal out of basement clubs and into the light.

What do people expect from a band's debut album?

Anyone who puts Kill 'Em All behind Load, Reload, Black Album, and Death Magnetic are deluded already, but to say that it is on par with St. Anger is just downright insane.

INSANE I TELL YOU!
