Uhhhhhh... I'm a sellout. Sort of. I really really don't get what's so great about Master of Puppets. I thought they peaked at Ride the Lightning. Which was a great album. I also don't see what's so great about Kill 'em All, although it did have some killers songs. I guess the time at which it came out has a lot to do with it.
I do like Master of Puppets, but every time I listen to it I get bored of the title track before it's over and skip ahead, then just skip right over The Thing that Should not Be, Leper Massiah, and Orion because they're all boring.
With AJFA I usually fade out of paying attention and when I snap back in I ask myself "Is this still the same song?" The answer's usually yes.
I thought the black album was an improvement. Then again it was my first metal album, so maybe I'm biased.
