Ride the Lightning is also my number 1!!

Am I the only one who thinks And Justice For All is the best one? I mean, I love how heavy and kinda progressive it is, despite the no bass thing

What is the deal with the hate, friends? My god, I love that someone like Pete takes the time and energy to put out cool shows like these. Chill out.

For me, the 1 & 2 spots are interchangeable. MOP and RTL. Life changing events for me.

This video was all over the place. Please, for the viewers' sake, just do the countdown solo.

I used to be one of those people who hated load, but years later I grew to really enjoy it for what it was. Songs like bleeding me, and the outlaw torn are just awesome bluesy rock tunes.

This was pretty easy to pin down: 10 - Reload 9 - St Anger 8 - Hardwired 7 - Magnetic 6 - Load 5 - Black 4 - Kill Em 3 - Justice 2 - Puppets 1 - Lightning

By far: And Justice For All.

Thankfully they've improved in the past 2 albums . My order from best to worst 1) Ride The Lightning 2) Master of Puppets 3) Kill em All 4) And Justice for All 5)Hardwired..... 6)Death Magnetic 7)Black Album 8)Garage Inc 9) Load 10) Re-Load 11) St Anger 12) Lulu

Boy, your friend Steve Keeler is definitely out on his own special island, isn't he? 😆

I’m sure that Steve is a great guy, but this was a bit disjointed Pete. Far better when you do lone reviews IMO

My ranking (best song on the album): 10. St. Anger (St. Anger) 9. Load (Ain't My Bitch) 8. Reload (Fuel) 7. Hardwired (Spit Out the Bone) 6. Death Magnetic (Unforgiven III) 5. Black Album (Wherever I May Roam) 4. Master of Puppets (Orion) 3. Kill Em All (Seek and Destroy) 2. Ride the Lightning (Fade to Black) 1. And Justice for All (One; my favorite Metallica song)

Pete, great show overall, love it! Havent seen any mention of Ottawa, Canadas Exciter - a studio albums review of these guys would be awesome! Their debut Heavy Metal Maniac preceeded Kill em All by several months, and they have influenced everyone as early leaders in speed-thrash metal in the early 80s.... thanks man!

Very refreshing to see some love for Ride the Lightning ahead of Master of Puppets. The former has always been in the latter's shadow with so many people and I think it gets unfairly overlooked for that reason.

YES!! THANK YOU! Liking and writing this before I even watch the video - I was hoping you would do it one day. Cheers Pete, love your content!

Always enjoy you and Steve doing your videos! I like the difference in opinions you have! Another great ranking video!

I like to think that each of the five 80s members had one of the five golden era albums as their own MVP. Kill Em All - Kirk Hammett Ride The Lightning - Cliff Burton Master Of Puppets - James Hetfield ...And Justice For All - Lars Ulrich The Black Album - Jason Newsted ... ... Hardwired... To Self Destruct - Robert Trujillo

1. Kill ‘Em All 2. Master of Puppets 3. Ride The Lightning 4. And Justice For All 5. Black Album 6. Death Magnetic 7. Hardwired... To Self Destruct 8. Reload 9. Load 10. St. Anger 11. (If it counts as a Metallica album) Lulu

Great video Pete! Nice to see Steve! I remember in the eighties taking that two hour drive several times to visit his store.

Your buddy is mixing up the tracks on Puppet with Lightning! Lol

I actually love Load and the black album. Actually it was the black album that got me into Metallica.

10: St. Anger 9: Load 8: Reload 7: Hardwired 6: The Black Album 5: Death Magnetic 4: Kill ‘Em All 3: ...And Justice For All 2: Ride the Lightning 1: Master of Puppets

Hey Pete! What's up? My first comment to your channel. Love your vids. Never thought I'd see you in a Mile shirt, though. Keep bringing those awesome vids. Cheerz

So glad I found your channel.....love these reviews \m/ \m/

If it is ok, let me share a story. Thank you. When I was younger, I just went a different route musically, more rock, prog rock, folk rock, and psychedelic/underground rock than heavy metal, I have since come around to heavy metal. I was not a Metallica fan as a young man. Eight years ago, I was very involved in my father's leukemia battle, daily medical appointments, nightly hospital trips to stay with my father as he was in the hospital. I had the black album, as many fairweather fans had. But two months before my dad lost his battle with that dreadful disease, I found myself buying all the cliff burton Metallica albums plus Justice and Garage Days, and for those two or three months listened to nothing but Metallica and only Metallica. And oddly enough it gave me such solace and strength and pissed offness to survive that awful time in my life. Cliff Burton was my screen saver at work. So I am forever grateful to those early Metallica albums and how they helped me through that time. So I will rate what I have. 7. METALLICA 6 HARDWIRED ...TO SELF-DESTRUCT 5 MASTER OF PUPPETS 4 GARAGE INC 3 KILL 'EM ALL 2 ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL 1 RIDE THE LIGHTNING A side note, a great movie with that era of Metallica as the soundtrack is HESHER. THANKS PETE, I vastly appreciate your work, comments, and channel.

... And Justice For All is my favourite of them. I had Listened it to death, it barely stayed out of my walkman back in the day:)

New channel watcher keep the uploads coming and thankyou as rock and metal fan 👍

Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I’ve really been enjoying your “ranking the albums” series! Any plans on ranking the albums of Def Leppard and Gamma?? Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work!!

I totally agree with you, pete. that _death magnetic_ album sounds really forced, not spontaneous.

I actually liked Load, some good grooves and songs, I even wore the T-Shirt at college without realising it was spunk and blood.

Thanks for another great video! It's crazy to think that I'm 20 and saw metallica last summer here in Estonia where they preformed in a old soviet union airbase and you guys also went to see them in your 20s. My favorite song by them is motorbreath and favorite album is master of puppets.

Great video. I loved the guest too.

10) St Anger, 9) Load, 8) Reload, 7) Death Magnetic, 6) Hardwired, 5) Black, 4) Justice, 3) Kill, 2) Ride, 1) Master

I heard John Bush was asked by James - to be their singer. He turned it down, figuring his band, Armored Saint, was going to be huge !

I can totally understand people being more attached to 80s Metallica,especially if they grey up with the band at that time. No matter what Metallica do, - those 4 albums will resonate above everything to them. I get it. But I will never feel the same way. I got into them like most my age (40), in the early 90s during the Black album. It was right in the midst of my grunge obsession. I still love grunge, and I have loved for the most part all of what Metallica have done since Black album aswell. There is some exceptional music from the Load timeline that was criminally overlooked because the bands image overhaul caught the headlines instead. Outlaw Torn and Bleeding Me are titanic songs that hark to Sabbath and Zeppelin's heavy influences. Hetfield was a hard rocker before Lars introduced the NWOBHM to him, so it was inevitable that the heavy 70s influence would shine through as he was gettin older, more introspective after thrashin thru the 80s. Death Magnetic absolutely has sound issues, but the songs are great- My Apocalypse and All nightmare Long are wonderful examples of fast trashy modern Metallica. And Hardwired.. had brilliant songs- Atlas Rise, Moth into Flame, the awesome Dream no More,and Spit out the Bone. Furious fun!! I dont rate or like Lulu either, but I dont even class it as an actual "Metallica" album anyway. St Anger- well, to me I hear potential that sounds unfinished. Its abrasive, meandering songs give it the feel of a demo thats yet to be finalised. But- when played live, Frantic is a beast of a song! Again, I understand the first 4 albums' importance to most people, but I also think anybody that shuts the band off after ...Justice, or Black is seriously missing out on some great songs.

1. And Justice For All 2. Master of Puppets 3. Kill 'Em All 4. Ride The Lightning

The first 4 albums from the 80’s are amazing albums! The Black album is different but still amazing. The Load and Reload albums are great underrated albums and people only hate them because they are not thrash albums. St Anger isn’t very good but it has some good songs that are unfortunately ruined by terrible production. Death Magnetic and Hardwired are great thrash albums that I don’t know why get hated so much since they’re thrash albums, you know, the kind of music that everyone wanted them to go back to. LULU is terrible but I don’t consider it a Metallica album.

I know one thing and the thing is that number 1 is Kill em All. I hardly imagine metal scene without this album.

Thanks Pete, always think it would be great to do a channel like this, but having to listen to Lulu again almost makes me reconsider!

The three greatest albums ever released from them in my opinion are in this order. #1 - Ride The Lightning. #2 - Master of Puppets. #3 - And justice for All. Verygood video Pete \m/

10. St. Anger 9. Reload 8. Kill Em' All 7. Death Magnetic 6. Hardwired 5. Load 4. Ride the Lightning 3. Black Album 2. Master of Puppets 1. ...And Justice for All Edit: My top 5 is pretty set in stone but #6 to #8 are kind of interchangeable depending on the day.

I like a lot of the Load album.

Great show as always SoT! Mostly agreement, some disagreement, but who cares, right? Opinions are there to be discussed. Your album ranking shows are really geared towards folks who have already listened although I've discovered a lot by listening to you and then checking out what you discuss. In this case, I've listened to all of it because, for me, Metallica was the first third-generation metal band that got me interested and I now seem them equal to Sabbath. I really never get through a week without at least a couple of songs by each. In spite of you not actually playing excerpts on the show, how you do this just works very well. It's always fun when you bring in someone else and discuss as well as you did here. Stay healthy and all the best to you!

My list (of the ones I’ve listened to) 5. Black album 4. Kill em all 3. And justice for all 2. Master of puppets 1. Ride the lightning

I remember buying new albums from two unknown bands on the very same day: Metallica’s Kill ‘em All and Accept’s Restless and Wild. My friends lost their shit when I played them..!!

Bro, I wanted to hear him talk about hardwired to self destruct, don’t cut him off and then go to your number 6 without letting him finish his thought

I'm glad you did a band with an actual catalog again LOL. Good clip. Edit - I always get the feeling that Pete would actually rather do the videos alone haha...

YAY I WAS HOPING THIS VIDEO WAS COMING 🔥 💪

I'm 54 and still a metalhead....I listen to everything I did growing up and all new metal too. I'm never growing out of it...I'll listen to it forever. It's part of my DNA...I was listening to Accept Blood of the Nations album on my way home from work today.....Loud!

Death Magnetic is so underrated. I always hear people say that Hardwired is their return to form, but Death Magnetic was heavier and much better imo.

From metal heroes to millionaire zeroes. Testament, Anthrax, Metal Church etc, these guys deserve the day-1 fans’ respect. Metallica great youth memories. Best concert of the mid eighties (Metal Church and Anthrax opening!!!).

I can't really rank their albums, but I'd classify like this : Great albums : - Master of Puppets - Ride the Lightning - Kill'em All - ...And Justice for All Not great albums, but some good stuff in it : - black album - Death Magnetic Albums I'll probably never listen to again : - Load - Re-Load - Hardwire - St Anger Thanks for your videos by the way ! I watched a good bunch of them, very interesting.

I feel like smoking joint with Steve and chill in that room😂😂😂

1 master of puppets 2 ride the lightning 3 kill em all 4 and justice for all 5 garage days 6 black 7 load 8 hardwired Don’t care about the others

I remember the day St-Anger was released... there was a record store near the office me and some music-loving colleagues would go to every Tuesday, the day new albums were released back then. That day I went there with a colleague who had gotten into Metallica through the Black Album, Load and Re-Load. For my part, I had gotten into them with Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets and Kill Em All. Anyway, he bought St-Anger, and once we got back to work, he locked himself up in his office to listen to his new acquisition. An hour or so later, he came out and left the CD on the corner of my desk and told me to have a listen to it that night and that if I liked it and wanted it, it was for sale for me to buy it if I wanted it. So I took it home later and listened to it. I honestly never laughed so much listening to anything up to that point. I was in stitches and told my colleague thanks but no thanks on his offer. The next time I laughed so much listening to anything was some years later when they free-streamed Lulu online before the actual release date. These 2 albums were literally like when people say "this artist could fart on record and people would still buy it". To this day, I don't personally know anybody who bought Lulu.

I love your video's, thanks man ! I'ts a good distractions in our current crisis. Stay healthy !

The only three I own are Ride, Master and Justice. Last saw them in Glasgow May 1990 and I'm cool with that.

1. Kill Em all 2. Master of puppets 3. Ride the lightning 4. and justice for all

Excellent Nile shirt. Appreciate your diverse taste in music Pete

Great video!

My top Metallica albums: 1. Ride The Lightning / Master (too hard to decide / probably Lightning at the moment though) 2. ...And Justice for All 3. Kill Em All 4. Black Album The rest are a bit of a blur.

Wow Opeth and Metallica are my two favorite bands and you covered em both today! As far as Metallica’s discography goes (main studio albums), I’d say: 1. Master of Puppets 2. And Justice For All 3. Ride the Lightning 4. Kill Em All 5. Self-titled 6. Hardwired 7. Death Magnetic 8. Load 9. Reload 10. St. Anger

I actually got into Metallica with songs like I Disappear and Fuel then my friend got me to listen to Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning and that blew me away, such raw energy! Now I pretty much only listen to the first four albums with the first being my favourite

Load has some really well written songs on it. I love the earlier albums but I would rank Load alot higher on my list.

In my opinion, the firsfirst 4 albums are so epic I struggle to put one infront of the other, which for me makes them the greatest metal band ever, I was disappointed when they released the black album and apart from a few songs on each other album since then,but the still sit at the top, where do you fellas rank the band

Good stuff Pete. I think you guys are right. There are many people who started with the Black Album. I like you guys, go way back, but I like the Black album a bit more. Thanks

Fuels actually on Reload lol

Metallica is relatively easy for me to rank, my list: 10. St. Anger (A real messy album, that to me almost sounds like an unfinished album or a demo. Songs are very long and in a very unnecessary way because there's so much verse repetition... Lack of solos nullify Metallica's classic pacing and built-up climaxes... Every now and then you'll hear clunky or scratchy bass and guitar parts... I guess Frantic is almost unanimously considered ok because it sounds more refined, like an actually finished song... Most of the album is unexcusable, though.) 9. Re-Load (I don't despise the Load era, but even in comparison to Load itself there is less finesse and lots of filler here... Some songs like Carpe Diem and The Memory Remains even annoy me a bit... There are still good chunks of it, like Fuel, Devil's Dance, Prince Charming, Bad Seed and Where the Wild Things Are... Other songs like Better Than You and Slither are enjoyable at first but kind of overstay their welcome... Again, unnecessary repetition plays a large role in the albums I dislike.) 8. Death Magnetic (Some people consider this a return to form, but I don't think it's quite there... Some songs like Cyanide, That Was Just Your Life and Judas Kiss are quite spectacular... Instrumentally this album has stellar moments, but overly procrastinated intros and overtretched interludes combined with songwriting that was still down a notch make it tiresome and uncomparable to 80s material). 7. Kill 'em All (Seems like a low ranking for a classic debut, but from here onwards I really enjoy every Metallica album. Truth is, as much as this album has great historical importance, I find myself reaching for a few songs in particular like Jump in the Fire, Metal Militia and No Remorse a lot more than the rest... Kirk shreds on this album, but to me it almost seems like the solos are a bit generic and interchangeable... This album also has a kind of rawness to it, but I personally prefer the Metallica albums that sound a bit classy, almost regal in nature.) 6. Hardwired (This album got me. I wasn't this excited by a "comeback" album of sorts in a long time. A little excessive? Maybe, but I think disc one is damn near perfect, disc two starts off a bit stiff but then quickly regains momentum. So essentially there's a lot of musical content and I don't feel the need to skip much and you get a great listen throughout. Some songs went as far as to give me goosebumps. I also like that this album isn't trying to rip off justice and master, there's a bit of groove and seems like a little bit of everything.) 5. Load (Surprise! I have no animosity towards this album. Certainly not comparable to the thrash powerhouses, but I played this album to death when I was a kid. Compare this to 90s and early 2000s alternative rock and it's still classier and more technical. Compare it to so-called "sell-out" albums by other metal bands and it seems so much more natural, like the band is actually enjoying what they play, and therefore an honest album. Until it Sleeps and Bleeding Me are personal favorites, but I pretty much enjoy it from start to finish. Call me crazy, but I hear a great deal of Metallica's influences like UFO and Thin Lizzy on this album, which reiterates what I mean about it being honest and the band enjoying themselves. A bit of Alice and Chains here and there, which is also no big deal because AiC is another childhood favorite. Overrall, a great album from the 90s.) 4. Metallica 1991 (Four words best describe this album: Overplayed for a reason. It's great from top to bottom, still heavy and with bits of thrash here and there. There's stellar songwriting on multiple tracks- particularly The Unforgiven and Wherever I May Roam.The radio staples are quite good and as far as "gateway" albums go, this is THE gateway album. B-sides are exciting. People get pissed off at it being overrated, but I see no problem in there being an album that appeals to general masses, if it really is still good.) 3. ... And Justice for All (This could easily be my favorite if it weren't for a few nitpicks, which surprisingly isn't the bass, but specific parts of some songs that make it loopy and excessive, like in Eye of the Beholder and Frayed Ends of Sanity. I love the rest, though. Both guitarists' best guitar work is arguably on this album, Lars is impressionable and there really is a sort of progressive edge to it.) 2. Master of Puppets (I don't think this is the best album of all time like many people preach, but being perfectly honest, it's a powerhouse. Sound engineering on this album is legendary. I hear The Thing that Should Not Be and to this very day, even for modern standards it is HEAVY. There are beautiful musical moments that just scream artistry... I also mentioned before about Metallica's pacing, built-up climaxes and regal nature. This album might be the epitome of all of that.) 1. Ride the Lightning (Simply put, one of my all-time favorite albums, and in my opinion the first actual thrash masterpiece. Kill 'em All had the technical prowess, but as I said before, there's a rawness to it. Ride has class, a certain finesse to it. Songwriting is nothing less than dark poetry on top of classical inspired compositions with the solid foundations of fast paced metal... Kill 'em All couldn't necessarily hold its own against Judas Priest or Iron Maiden in the songwriting department, but Ride the Lightning screams evolution... It has a bit of that pacing and regal nature of Master, but I also like that it sounds less ambitious at times and just reverts to pure excitement. Nothing here ever overstays its welcome, and with most classic Metallica albums you have a great experience but feel completely drained. This album makes you want to hear it twice! The title track is my personal favorite Metallica song, Fade to Black is one of the most beloved semi-ballad metal songs and Fight Fire with Fire is arguably one of the best album openers. I could talk about this album for days!)

This right here has been your most impossible ranking by far....very well done and thank you very much!!

I'm taking a break from singing and playing guitar. Thank you for your ranking Metallica. My favorites are; Metallica (Black album/CD), Masters of Puppets and Justice for all. 🎤🎸🎵🥁

Awesome rank discussion! You should do a rank video for the Queensryche discography!

Nice Nile shirt. you should rank their albums.

It's funny, Load was the first Metallica album I ever heard. Load was my route into Metallica and from there I went back through their entire discography. I still really like both Load and Reload but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I didn't experience 80s Metallica first.

10. St Anger 9. Load 8. Reload 7. Hardwired...to Self Destruct 6. The Black Album 5. Death Magnetic 4. Kill 'Em All 3. ...And Justice For All 2. Master of Puppets 1. Ride the Lightning

Pls rank the motley crew or Ozzy osbourne albums next. Also thanks for doing another AWESOME and great quality video 🤘🏻🇦🇺

Kill Me All is now my favorite. Yes its more adolescent-y of the Cliff albums but the riffs and crunchiness of them is awesome.

Seems like I’m in the minority with LuLu and St. Anger.

*My Metallica Album Rankings* FYI: I have not yet heard *Hardwired...To Self-Destruct* and so I cannot include it on here. 9) St. Anger 8) Reload 7) Death Magnetic 6) Load 5) ...And Justice For All 4) Metallica 3) Kill 'Em All 2) Ride The Lightning 1) Master Of Puppets (R.I.P. Cliff Burton)

Yes I'm first and great video dude

They lost me after the Black Album

I prefer your videos without special guests

Very cool Pete!!! Didnt realize you hadn't ranked Metallica yet!!! Heres mine to share. Oh, for everyone, I'm still checking the playlist!!!! 1. Garage Inc. 2. Ride The Lightning 3. Black Album 4.

1. And Justice For All 2. Ride The Lightning 3. Master Of Puppets 4. Kill Em All Couldn't care less about the rest

11. St Anger 10. Load 9. Garage Days 8. Re-Load 7. Hardwired 6. Death Magnetic 5. Black 4. Ride The Lightning 3. And Justice For All 2. Kill Em All 1. Master Of Puppets

Good review, I agree with Pete, Ride The Lightning is also my number 1!!!!

13. Reload - even Fuel I don`t like too much, The End of the Line from Death Magnetic has a similar Riff at Two Minutes and Seventeen Seconds, and It`s far better song for me. 12. Lulu - I dig a lot Junior Dad. It`s a clever experimental, alternative, reminds me The Cure. I prefer this kind of song than the Hard-Rock-Country-Blues-Pseudo Grunge of the Loads records. The rest is over-repetition, over-experimentation. I think they shoud spend more time on this project. Very rushed. 11. Load - I really love Untill It Sleeps, and when I heard it for the first time, I thought it was a smart move. I knew they were getting softer and relaxed, into mid-tempo songs, but I also thought they would bring something "intelligent", thoughtfull. But when I heard Mama Said, Hero of the Day, Cure, Ain`t My Bitch (seems a Guns`n`"fuckin"`Roses song title), the endless Thorn Within, I was appaled because I would not think for a second I could be bored by a Metallica main riff. The other great song is Bleeding Me 10. St. Anger - Bad production, confused songwritting, but I love Frantic, St. Anger, and the last one, All Within My Hands 9. Hardwired to Overextention - I love Moth Into Flame. Most of them are average to good/great songs. Is it me or the Title Song Riff is Over-over-over used? 8. S&M - Some versions are great, starting with Ecstasy of Gold and Kall of Ktulu. I like a lot No leaf Clover. This version of One is also great, and the Load/Reload songs are better here, the orchestra fill some spaces. 7.Garage Inc. - The old Garage Re-revisited is great, but this compilation includes also other B-Side covers, Like Am I Evil, Stone Cold Crazy, Breadfan, So What, and the new recordings have Mercyful Fate 6. Death Magnetic - I love the record. The only flaw is they tried a little too much to emulate the past. The Day That Never Comes, remind me a lot One and Am I Evil on the fast part. 5. Metallica - A lot of great songs, but it was overplayed to death. I think they got fed up with their prog side, and wanted a more mid-tempo "For Whom The Bell Tolls" oriented songwriting. 4. Kill `Em All - Great songs, exciting, but they would become even better composers and performers. 3. And Justice For All - Great, great album, Shortest Straw and Eye of Beholder very good, but not quite so great as the other songs. 2. Ride The Lightning - Apart from Escape and Trapped Under Ice, this is a stellar record. 1. Master of Puppets - Maybe the BEST METAL ALBUM EVER RECORDED.

Gimme food, gimme fries, gimme salad on the side!!!!!

Wow Steve you got to meet Cliff Burton on his FINAL TRAGIC TOUR!!! Goddamn you were lucky!!! Anyhow I've got my lists for Metallica, Dio, Slayer, and Megadeth written. I'm about to upload my Ozzy ranking list. Pete keep up the great work.

I remember when i heard "Fight Fire With Fire" for the first time back in high school 1985. Ride's my favorite album. then Master, $5.98 EP, Kill and Justice.
