Thanks for that.
Metallica was only good in the 80's, as it seems you would agree. I used to be a huge fan of them, but I guess I've just "broadened my horizons" a bit. It's tough for me to pick a favorite album of their's. I go back and forth between "Ride the Lightning" and "Master of Puppets." I like James' voice better on "RTL," but I'd say the riffs were heavier on "Puppets."
It's a sad truth that bands are usually (very generally) better in their earlier days. Not to say it's a rule, but it happens more often than not. Metallica is a prime example of this. Four killer albums from 83-88, then they took an ever-increasing turn for the worse.
