I agree 100% with this. The lack of bass on some songs is okay like "...And Justice for All," and "One," but my God I barely notice when I'm listening to songs on AJA because of the lack of bass. "...And Justice for All" kicks some serious ass with the riffs though.

I don't understand, what are you talking about?

At least you didn't say Enter Sandman is your favorite song from Black.

The biggest problem I have with the Black album is that it's like progressive metal with songs like NEM, and I don't like that at all. Of course, Sad But True is still my favorite Metallica song and the Unforgiven has my favorite guitar solo among all of Metallica's songs that I've heard and possibly my favorite guitar solo of all time.
That being said, I find the rest of the album pretty much entirely awful.


Most of the clean and/or progressive Metallica songs I tend to dislike such as Fade To Black.
All of my favorite Metallica songs are the non-progressive songs like–

You know what, this is actually a great time for me to rank some of my favorite Metallica songs:

  1. Sad But True
  2. Ain't My Bitch
  3. Master of Puppets
  4. The Thing That Should Not Be
  5. Orion
  6. And Justice For All
  7. Hit The Lights
  8. The Four Horsemen
  9. Seek And Destroy
  10. Motorbreath
  11. Jump In The Fire
  12. Pulling Teeth
  13. The Call of Ktulu
  14. Battery
  15. The Unforgiven

If The Unforgiven didn't have that awesome solo, I would probably dislike it too.

Every other album.
^ This is inaccurate for me now. It's probably this now:

1.Master
2.Kill Em All
3. And Justice
4. Ride the Lightning
5. Black album
