I've just been spending the past few weeks listening to all of the Metallica albums quite a bit, especially in the car, so was wondering which albums are your favourites?
Personally I don't have one favourite album, but I do like their earlier albums up to the 1991 Black Album more than the later ones. From the Black Album their sound started to become more studio produced and they began to lose some of their raw energy, but it's all still great.
I also love the S&M live album too, and the DVD is brilliant, with some of the best use of multi angle and multi sound track I've seen on a DVD to date, with the ability to isolate and listen to each member playing alone, as well as watching each from different angles. Brilliant. And the orchestral arrangements work really well.
But if I did have to pick only one album it would be Master of Puppets.
So what are your favourite albums?
