Malo, I agree completely. That reminds me of an old Iron Maiden song I think from the Powerslave album “The loneliness of a long distance runner”. I remember being a long haired teenager and thinking WTF the loneliness of a runner that craps to deep for me I just want to thrash. LOL

Only one song on my list is from the Black album, and it’s only on there because it was finally some decent bass representation from Jason. Not great, but decent.
I’m shocked to see there are any Metallica fans that really don’t like And Justice For All. That album was an instant classic. One of the heaviest albums ever written, IMO. A total break through and inspiration to pretty much every metal band to succeed since 1989.
Well,I didn’t really like their stuff they did after the and justice for all album.
Nevertheless,I still like their older shit(when Cliff was with 'em).
Orion(my favorite metallica song)
Pulling teeth(sec fav)
Fade to black (third fav)
one
Damage inc.
Master of puppets
For whom the bell tolls
Metal militia
Seek and distroy
Welcome Home( Sanitarium)
Oh,I forgot…
Call of ktulhu(my 4th fav).
Yeah,I actually have 11 favorites,so what.

Are you kidding?
Jason needs to take some music lessons or something because I thought his bass playing sucked on the black album.
I’ve been playing bass since I was seven and I was so pissed off with the bassist Metallica decided to play with.
In my opinion,when they lost Cliff Burton they went down-hill.

I just referenced it because you said, Load forward. I wasn’t bagging on your personal selection.
I agree about the Justice album though. It’s definately my favorite overall.
I have been to five Metallica concerts and even their shittiest songs sound good live.

YOU must be joking! Have you heard Jason rocking with SuperNova?
Ok, I probably took that too far. I am very much joking.

I agree that Jason’s playing is not great, ESPECIALLY compared to Cliff Burton (a literal metal God, IMO). That’s why I said it was DECENT playing by Newsted in My Friend of Misery. And sadly, probably the best he ever did.
I, too, am a fan of bassists. More-so than guitarists in many ways. Getting Robert Trujillo was a great move, because he is an outstanding bassist. Now we’ll see if they let him do “his thing” on the new stuff.
“Justice” still had Burton-influenced and written material on it. That is why I think it is still such a great CD. Aside from the fact that you can’t hear any bass on that album at all. But that might have been intentional in retrospect.
1.Fade to Black
2.Master of Puppets
3.Saniterium
4.One
5.Fuel
6.Seek & Destroy (Live Woodstock version)
7. Battery
8.Blackened
9.Sad But True
10.For Whom The Bells Toll
I haven’t seen much mention of Hit the LIghts. I think if that song doesn’t get you pumped and your head banging, you don’t know Metallica. “No life till leather!”
And about Newstead…he was badass. Not Burton badass, but definitely a badass. To Live is to Die is agreat one to hear him in, as well as My Friend Misery, and Holier Than Thou.
I like many of the ones you DON’T hear on the radio all the time:
- Disposable Heroes
- Ride the Lightning
- Blackened
- Seek and Destroy
- Crash Course in Brain Surgery
- Creeping Death
- Of Wolf and Man
- Mars/Am I Evil?
- The Thing that Should not Be
And, as a bassist, I must include this one:
10. Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)
Honorable Mention Newer song: King Nothing

As far as songwriting and guitar solos, it is their overall best album. Every song on that album drips with more anger and angst than the punks of today can muster on an entire album.
Unfortunately, vocals and guitar are all you can hear. It is the worst engineered album in their catalog.
There’s no bass, no depth and hardly any drums. If any album in the world deserves re-mastering and re-engineering, it’s AJFA.
Saw this tour with Queensryche doing Operation: Mindcrime. What a night of Heavy Sounds and even Heavier Ideas.

I totally agree with you on the lack of bass… but you honestly think the drums were crappy? Or, for that matter, non existent?? The kick is pretty much the loudest thing on the CD! That drum sound has pretty much been emulated by every heavy band since. Super punchy kicks. Can’t beat it.
All of the albums prior to had virtually NO audible kick drum. If you pay attention, it’s there, but not very present.
I’d say if they could remix AJFA and add bass guitar levels, that’d be awesome. But if they re-mastered Puppets and Lightning with more modern and punchy sounds that’d be THE SHIT. I think Puppets is probably their finest writing (along with AJFA), but the sound is very primitive.
Honestly, I love Garage Days Re-Revisited. Great sound and feel to the entire CD.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this… I saw this tour too. Shit was bad ass. How the whole stage “exploded.” Neat idea. Queensryche… wow. They are talented. That was a cool tour.

A remastered Justice album would give me heart attack! Great Idea!
