For me, it's a battle between Master of Puppets and the black album. So what's your favorite album by Metallica? Discuss.

for me its The Black Album

I like all of them, so long as the volume is muted.

Puppets has all of my favorite songs. I'm conflicted though since I really like Ride the Lightning.

lol @ Domo-Kun, nice.

Ride the Lightning...for some strang reason though I simply don't like MOP, and have always found it to be their worst album.

Ride the Lightning

Ride the Lightning. Everything after the Black album doesnt even exist to me

... And Justice For All is far and away the best Metallica album.

Master of Puppets.

No contest, Master is by far their best album and the most 'real Metallica'.

Ride the lightning n Justice comes 2nd and 3d, then Black album, then death magnetic.

As much as I love ... And Justice For All (Blackened is my fav Metallica track), I'd have to say The Black Album as well
