To each their own (when it comes to this sort of thing at least), thewall91, but I like Battery & Damage, Inc. off of that album more than the title track.
My favorite Metallica is without question the Garage Days Re-Revisted ep (1987...sandwiched release-wise between Master of Puppets & ...And Justice for All) & it's not among the list of choices in the poll. They repackaged it with the Garage, Inc. thing in 1998.
It's funny (to me), but I've been listeing to a little Metallica lately. A few of my friends that come over usually want to hear metal or rap. So, I tried to get them interested in this Punk compilation of Metallica & the Fade to Bluegrass Metallica cover cds to hopefully listen to something other than Metallica outright. They also like Smashing Pumpkins which is probably the coolest thing they even like & which I'm also very burnt-out on as well. As far as rap, only one of the friends likes anything decent like Public Enemy or the Beastie Boys or something.
i distinctly remember the first time I was really exposed to a lot of Metallica. I was a sophomore in college & kind of stranded at this house out in the country that had a party the night before & all this Metallica was being played. It aggravated me that people would listen to this heavy formulaic music & not give heavy creative music like Sonic Youth a chance.
