    If you want a kind of greatest hits type thing you could try their classical album, Symphony and Metallica. The Black Album has Enter Sandman and that sort of stuff on it but I'd recommend Kill 'em All.

    yeah, its hard to decided its a big 4-way between the first four albums, but if you want the more mainstream, go The Black Album onwards

    personally, atm its Ride The Lightning

    Black album is definitely the way to get introduced to Metallica. For me, ...And justice for all is my favourite. Its funny how every Metallica fan has a different favourite album. Very few bands could claim such a boast.

    Metallica's Metallica album also known as The Black Album. Was a very sucessful album and brought them more into the mainstream. Loads of good songs on it, Enter Sandman being one of my favorites songs ever!!! You won't be disappointed!! Also a good album if you're not into the heavier metal stuff they're done! :D

    hmm, probably justice for me. How about a process of elimiation.....

    S&M (great concept, but no matter how many times I listen, it just sounds like an ochestra playng in compete igonance of each other.
    St. Anger, weak, weak album.
    Reload iiffy at best.

    I recon their best was up until justice.

    Wasn't "Metal Up Your Ass" supposed to be the original proposed title for the album that ended up being named "Ride The Lightning"?

    My favourite album of theirs would be St. Anger, closely followed by Load.*







    *: Clearly I jest! The correct answer would be the self titled album followed by Ride the Lightning

    . . . and Justice for all

    I love that album. There is, or was anyway a site with MP3s of that album but with the bass brought up in the mix. I think it was called . . . and Justice for Jason or something similar.

    By far St Anger is their worst album , But I wouldnt exactly call it piss , Its just a different style to their other stuff.

    I disagree with the statement that St. Anger is "Crap", "Piss" and so on.

    I think it's an enormously powerful album. Some hell-raising songs in there. Stadium choruses don't come much better than in St. Anger and Frantic. And nobody can deny that the album as a whole contains some of Lars's best drummery to date.

    Sure, it's very different to Metallica's previous work, but it DOES signify a new direction for a band that, let's face it, badly needed a new direction. But it's hardly fair to say that because an album is different, it's crap.

    Anyone agree with me?
