The Black Album is solid from beginning to end. However, not a single song on it reaches the heights of awesomeness of the first 3 songs mentioned above.

For that reason, it's the classic debate of Megadeth's awesome high points vs Metallica's consistent mid points.

I'm going with Megadeth. But that's always my preference between the two.

Megadeth - 3
Metallica - 2
Victory was on "Youthanasia."

Anyway, while I like both albums, I'm giving the upperhand to Megadeth because I find that overall, the riffs are just better. And when I'm listening to thrash (even if it is pop thrash) riffs are what counts.

Megadeth - 4
Metallica - 2
