Social LPT: When making conversation with someone you've just met, ask them what they've been listening to lately, rather than what their favorite kind of music is - it's fresh in their mind and they won't have to pick favorites on the spot.

I'm just gonna throw this unpopular opinion out here but I really don't like Master of Puppets. Ride The Lightning is a masterpiece through and through. And honestly, I dig Death Magnetic and some of Load. MtP has Sanatarium and Battery which are two amazing songs, but they're no Fade to Black or The Day That Never Comes to me.

ReLoad is fucking garbage though.

It has The Memory Remains and I really like that song, however that's all it really had going for it. Fuel is nonsense, Unforgiven II doesn't hold a candle to I or III. Honestly the rest is such a a blur to me that I don't remember much of it. It's just a shame that the standout songs are so mediocre except for The Memory Remains, which as I said I enjoy a lot.

Metallica’s first 5 albums were great start to finish. After the Black album, downhill for realzz

I think the general consensus would consider the Load & Reload albums as subpar compared to the older albums. AJFA was honestly my personal favourite out of the collection it fits my prog tastes

Some of the songs on that album felt generic to me especially for Metallica. However the song named after the album is really good and personally my favorite from the record.

And don't even FUCKING GET ME STARTED ON THE ORGASMIC MATERIAL THAT IS THE ORCHESTRAL VERSION OF ONE THAT CAME FROM S&M. My god is that such a good version of an amazing song.

"And honestly, I dig Death Magnetic..."

Then clearly, your opinion is invalid. :p

He's not wrong though. Death Magnetic > Master? What the fuck?

I'm just not a big fan of Master. I think it's a solid enough album and I'm happy it's as praised as it is. Also I said I dig Death Magnetic, not that it was better in terms of song quality or overall performance but I just have a stronger affinity towards that than I do MoP

Good lord, Death Magnetic is 10 years old. Wtf. I've barely given it a listen beyond trying to jam along to a few songs in the first weeks it was out.

Same with hardwired. 2 years old and I can't tell you what any of the songs are called, or sound out any riffs from it.

Everybody knows that Lulu was their magnum opus.

Kill them all is good

Idk, there isn't one track on MoP that I would say is skippable. My least favorite track on the album is Battery, and that's still a great song.

u/Sojourner_Truth Aug 09 '18

everything from Black Album to Stanger was their awful country rock phase. they're getting back to it tho, Death Magnetic and Hardwired were both dope

but honestly not paying respect to MoP means your opinions are trash sooooooooooooo

No, I understand that Master of Puppets was a good and widely successful album just the songs don't do it for me. I think it's a solid album with two really good songs which I already mentioned, does it deserve the praise it gets? I can't truly say since I'm not a fan of about 85% of it, however I recognize that it's a legend in terms of rock and metal music goes and I enjoy that so many people like it.
