My number one is and always be Ride the Lightning. Raw and powerfull record

Ride The Lightning is #1 for me. I love the production on it and the rawness really works imo. \m/ Great video mate. 😀

The first 3 will always be classic

...and Justice for all is my favorite album/CD. I listened to the first 3 albums on a half working cassette head unit, with only small floating speakers in the car during my high school years. Once ...and justice for all came out, I had upgraded to new a car and system that actually had full range, 2 -12's, a Rockford Fosgate amp and 8 bit CD head unit. It was a punch in the face from the first track and left you numb till the end. I did go back and rediscovered the awesomeness of the previous cds, but ...and justice for all has stuck with me through the years!

In early 1986, some buddies and I went to see an Ozzy Osbourne concert in Nashville with a little known band (Metallica) as the opening act. When Metallica came out, they absolutely blew us away, we had never experienced anything like this before. Little did I know (at the time) that I was seeing the greatest concert of my life. This was a game changer for me, I instantly evolved from the likes of Kiss, Van Halen, or even Judas Priest. Within a week from seeing that concert, I had a copy of Master of Puppets. Master of Puppets will always be my #1 favorite Metallica album, it just changed everything.

Same for me -saw Metallica open for Ozzy and my buds and I dropped our collective jaws to the floor! Never heard anything so fast, technical and punishing, our heavy metal world had just expanded, tenfold! Probably the most significant moment in my metal world of music! Master Of Puppets is peerless, its scope and technicality, it's power and mood.....still blows me away to this very day. Ride The Lightning is pretty much right there with it, insane virtuosity, staggering sonic power, nice acoustic interludes, epic songwriting - these two albums changed the game, along with Kill Em All and AJFA! Metallica will always be a huge landmark for me, musically speaking.

PLEASE DO MORE RANKINGS! Your rankings are so fun!

I always enjoy your album rankings. I’ve always had a soft spot for Reload. I’m sure that’s not a popular opinion but I was 21 and enjoying life when it was released. I had it on cassette and remember it was always in my tape deck. Puppets was my entry into Metallica so that one always ranks high on my list.

Always enjoy your rankings. In this particular one, is the same ranking as mine.

Thanks for doing this ❤

Awesome video. Idk if u have ever considered doing this kind of video (ranking) for all of metallicas albums. Like a video for each album ranking the songs. That would be awesome. I subscribed and can’t wait for more videos.

Never been the biggest Metallica (or thrash metal fan) but I enjoyed the list. Kinda makes me want to go out and at least get your Top 5. Great video as always, Brendon.

Great review!

Great video! "One" was my gateway into the mighty Metallica. New album works good enough

Nice ranking Brendon. As i expected, the new Metallica is definitely a grower. Really starting to dig it 🤘.

I really like these rankings. Great fun. Have you done any on Alice Cooper yet? Would love to see that.

Great vid. I’ve been a huge fan of the band since Lighting. Really loving the new album so far. Here’s my ranking 1. Justice 2. Master 3. Lighting 4. Black 5. Kill 6. 72 Seasons 7. Death 8. Hardwired 9. Garage 10. Load 11. Reload 12. St. Anger

I still remember buying Kill'em All on Megaforce cassette a month before Ride the Lightning came out at a small independent record store on Kings Ave in Brandon, FL. Ah the memories (Ironic Ican't remember the name of it anymore but a bunch of stuff I bought in early '80s!!). Been hooked ever since on them. Wish you could buy stock in a band because I would be rich! LOL. Keep up the great videos!

Man we share a lot of favorite songs! Nice!

Great list dude! Putting The Black Album as your number 1 is a pretty ballsy move lol I respect it though. This is my personal list with some questionable choices of my own with my favorite track from each album as well. 1. Master Of Puppets (Disposable Heroes) 2. And Justice For All (Blackened) 3. Ride The Lightning (Creeping Death) 4. Kill Em All (The Four Horsemen) 5. Load (Bleeding Me) 6. Death Magnetic (All Nightmare Long) 7. Metallica aka The Black Album (Don't Tread On Me) 8. Garage Inc. (Astronomy) 9. Hardwired...To Self Destruct (Spit Out The Bone) 10. Reload (Fixxxer) 11. 72 Seasons (72 Seasons) 12. St. Anger (Dirty Window)

Amazing musicians & incredible influence on the entire music industry. Their legacy is untouchable. One thing Brendon, the 17 millions sales of the Black album is JUST in the USA, worldwide is significantly more. Even here in Australia it has sold almost 1 million copies, not bad at all from a country that had about 17-18 million people back in the early 90's!!!. Thanks as always Brendon.

Cool ranking video. My favorite Metallica album is also the Black Album. It came out my freshman year of college. I was obsessed with it. Probably in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. I believe it’s a masterpiece. My #2 is Justice. I own everything up to Load.

Can't always agree with all the rankings but everyone has a different opinion. One thing we all can agree on though and be the quality/content of these posts. Thank you, Brendon for the hard work to keep us music junkies going.

Good ranking. I agree with all of this except I would flip #1 and #2. Only because of what you mentioned, Black Album burnout. Will you be doing a Megadeth ranking soon?

I have to admit the mix on 'And Justice For All' did bother me when it was released, and I never warmed to the album. I think my fave would either be 'The Black Album' or 'Ride the Lightning' hard to say, 'Master' is close in my list too. Good to hear your list and reasons behind the rankings.

Yes , my top three is your top three but And Justice is my no. 1. I love the apparent bass- less production , it show some progression, some creativity but the music is just fantastic. Favourite song I’d The Shortest Straw. 72 seasons for me Is the best since the black album. I’d out Garage Days rerevisitef higher too. But a great analysis and critique, cheers

Load is the must underrated Metallica album. Bleeding me and outlaw torn are bangers. To me AJFA is the best album Metallica has ever made. It's hard, fast, dark, and the lyrics are amazing.

Glad to see the Black Album as your number one. It's my all-time favorite album and it opened the door to lots of different music for me.

You should do a rank of the 80s thrash debut albums (Anthrax, slayer, testament, Metallica, megadeth, exodus, overkill, flotsam, etc)

I just did a ranking a few days ago 🙂 12. St Anger 11. Reload 10. Load 9. Death Magnetic 8. Hardwired...To Self-Destruct 7. Garage Days 6. 72 Seasons 5. Metallica 4. ...And Justice For All 3. Ride The Lightning 2. Kill 'Em All 1. Master Of Puppets Might be a bit early for 72, but I really dig it! Cheers.

@@davidtrevino5211 Death Magnetic is ruined by the terrible production for me. People say that St Anger is a tough listen, and it is - but it's also the way it's supposed to sound, for good or ill. It's intentionally weird and abrasive. Even AJFA is fine by me. No bass, sure, but it has a unique aesthetic that fits the overall project. Death Magnetic, though, is wrecked by the witless attempt to win the 'loudness wars'. It was a stupid, non-musical decision to release it like that. It's unlistenable with earphones. Especially if a track comes on via shuffle, and you've been listening to some other band (or even another Metallica album). Death Magnetic is so awful-sounding. (And yeah, I do know about the Guitar Hero versions, which are certainly better.)

Thank you for counting Garage, Inc.!

Lulu is actually not a Lou Reed album, it's a collaboration album between the two, which is an important distinction. It's just as much a Metallica album as it's a Lou Reed album, which is why you find the album filed as a "Collaboration Album" at both artist's wikipedia pages plus Metallicas official website.

Too true about AJFA and the lack of bass. When it came out, it was simply a killer album. Tinny, scooped-mid production makes a lot of thrash albums of that era hard to listen to in retropsect (think Testament, for example), but at the time, we simply loved the songs.

Black album is also my favourite. I was a teen when it came out and it was everywhere, but I liked what I heard. I still think it's their best sounding album. It's production is up there with the likes of back in black in my opinion.

I've got : 1)RTL 2)MOP 3)AJFA 4)KEA 5)72 Seasons 6) Black album I'm 55 though. Last time I saw Metallica was on the AJFA tour. They have not inspired me to see them live again. Saw them as second-opener billing on the US Monsters of Rock with Kingdom Come, Dokken, Scorpions and Van Hagar. Saw them with GNR. Saw them on the AJFA tour. That is the ONLY time in over 4 decades of concert-going that I've ever had temporary(Thank God) hearing loss. They were tight. They were hungry. Top 5 concert in my book. I've been lukewarm to disinterested about Metallidudes releases since AJFA except 72 Seasons. It's surprised me actually. I sort of liked Load and Reload(the good songs like "My Friend of Misery." I like some of DM. I like some of HTSD... But not until 72 Seasons has Metallica caught my ear. I hear a lot of Sabbath. A lot of Thin Lizzy/Maiden(NWOBHM) in the riffs and harmonized leads. I even hear a little "Four Horsemen/Mechanix" nod to Megadave in one of the songs. James sounds amazing. Kirk still Kirks...not anything unexpected(as a side note can SOMEONE for the sake of everyone "lose" Kirk's wah pedals? Please?) I'm obviously more "old school." I like the Black Album but have never loved it like the "Holy Trinity" of old school Metallica. Kirk hasn't honestly played a truly inspiring solo since AJFA in my opinion. He is the weakest link and his wah-infused pentatonic wankery oftentimes prevents Metallica from achieving true greatness again. And then there's Lars.... Kirk has been mailing it in for decades. This new album seems to me to show the rest of the boys have something to say. Especially Papa Het. For the first time in decades I have a new Metallica release on replay and in my playlist. Excellent. Truly surprised.

1. Ride The Lightning 2. Master of Puppets 3. And Justice For All 4. Kill ‘Em All 5. Metallica (Black Album)

I think 72 Seasons is better than Hardwired. It’s more upbeat too. Half of Hardwired was boring and forgettable to me. When people mention that album they almost always only mention the same 4 songs. My favourite is Kill em All

Nothing comes close to Master of Puppets.

I only own the first four album. My rank: 1. Ride the lightning 2. Master of puppets 3. Black album 4. And justice for all My favorite song of each album is the instrumental ones with The call of ktulu on top. As for the black album my favorite is the unforgiven.

My Top three are definitely "Ride The Lightning", "Master Of Puppets" and "Metallica (Black Album)". #3 is "Ride The Lightning", but I'm not sure about #1 and #2. I think "Master Of Puppets" has better songs, but "Metallica (Black Album)" has better production. If "Metallica (Black Album)" had cut the last four tracks, there would have been no question, it would be my #1 Metallica album. It was the only big Metallica box set I purchased. But, I also got the deluxe 3 CD set for "Master Of Puppets".

thank u sir

Ride the Lightning was my fav a few years ago, but these days I'd opt for And Justice or the Black Album.

A respectable list most fans would agree with, but will say, the black album was a bummer coming from Justice in 1991. More of a grower, but will never match the intensity and complexity of the previous works. Listening to these albums so much throughout the years, I tend to grab Inc. more than most. It’s such a fun collection of great renditions for me.

My list would have 'Load' much higher. If you can get past the fact that it's Metallica, it's a great record. I'm the same with the 'Black Album'. Great when it was released, but I've heard those songs too many times.

1)Master of Puppets (Welcome Home) 2)And Justice For All (Dyer’s Eve) 3)Ride the Lighting (Creeping Death) 4)Kill’em All (Seek & Destroy) 5)The Black Album (Wherever I May Roam) Nothing Else Matters after the top 5!!!

The greatest thrash metal album ever has never been surpassed. (Disposable Heroes). 4)And Justice For All. Despite the lack of bass it's the zenith of their career and like MOP showcases everything they do. (One). 5)Metallica. Refined with big production made them superstars. (Nothing Else Matters). 6)Death Magnetic. The album they should have made after Metallica. A solid thrash metal album. (The Day That Never Comes). 7)Hardwired To Self Destruct. Another solid thrash metal album. (Now That We're Dead). 8)Load. Groove based stoner rock spoilt with too much filler. (Mama Said) 9)Reload. Same with too much filler. (Low Man's Lyric). 10)St Anger. The worst album they made although one of their best sellers despite the lack of snare drum! (Sweet Amber). 11)72 Seasons. Ran out of ideas with nothing more to prove. Doing another victory lap! Metallica by numbers. (72 Seasons). 12) Lulu. Oh dear. A career misstep although some herald it and more power to them! (Can't think of any track I like). S&M is a hit and miss affair where they tried to merge their sound with an orchestra. I wish they had orchestrated some of their studio tracks instead. Garage Days Revisited is a solid collection of covers of their early punk, hard rock, metal and NWOBHM influences.
