I think Mr. J hit the nail on the head here. I can't see anything by Slayer (Reign in Blood included) matching Metallica's first three albums, but after Cliff died they went South.
If all the members of Metallica had died in that bus accident they would have been immortalized and we wouldn't be having this conversation, but as it stands today, Metallica sucks ass.
