what do u mean? My personal opinion is black album with the unbeatable The God That Failed and Wherever I May Roam.Create a list:

1.Black Album
2.Master Of Puppets
3.Ride The Lightning
4....And Justice For All
5.Load
6.Kill 'em All
7.Reload
8.S&M
9.Garage inc.
10.Some Kind Of Monster

For me Master Of Puppets from their 1986 album is their best album. From the trademark thrash of "Battery" to the instrumental stylings of "Orion," it's a sound of a band on top of their game.

but... why h8 Black album?... it ROcks fgs

Out of all their albums master of puppets is the best. It's the most consistent. Master of ... and Rde the lightning are probably the only two Metallica albums I can put on and listen to untill the end without skipping a track. But Battery, Master of puppets, Orion, Disposable Heroes, Damage Inc and Welcome Home all make the album one of my favourite albums ever.

The Black album and I thought Load was cool
The rest suck ass

S&M, no question. Of coure, being a cellist, I'm a little biased...

1. Ride The Lightning
2. Master Of Puppets
3. Kill Em All
4. And Justice For All
5. Self Titled
