I'm wearing a Ride the Lightning shirt right now.
My favorite Metallica albums are Master of Puppets and St. Anger. It took me a good 4 full listen-throughs to like St. Anger, but now it's probably my favorite album. I like Metallica's pre-1990 music and post-2000 music the best I suppose. I don't mind songs like Nothing Else Matters, Until It Sleeps, Unforgiven, etc. but I like the hardcore heavy metal stuff from the early 80's way better. I don't understand how heavy metal enthusiasts that like older Metallica don't like St. Anger. It's the roughest, most metal music they've made in the past 15 years and people won't even give it a listen. They listen to it once and put it away. I gave it a chance and now love it. I think there's honestly 1 song on St. Anger that I don't like...the rest I consider excellent. Songs like Frantic, Dirty Window, St. Anger, and Some Kind of Monster are fucking amazing.
Anyone know if Metallica plans on another album being released?
