Metallica had melody and hooks in Kill 'Em All. That is one of the best reasons I love that album; metal meeting melody and hooks, which is the reason they are supposedly that big band that changed it all - not just thrash, I tell ya. You might not notice it if you're more into that raw metal sound, but it's definitely there. Like with Diabolus in Musica, Metallica always had that catchiness to their music. And that is probably why you do not like them.
I love raw energy, and I love catchy tunes, along with melody. It's too bad others do not so much, but that's why old Slayer is there; for those who aren't too into the mold that Metallica went for...
