4. Metallica - Metallica
7. Metallica - Master Of Puppets
11. Metallica - ...And Justice For All
14. Metallica - Ride The Lightning
19. Metallica - Kill 'Em All
28. Metallica - St. Anger

That's because, the first couple had the magical Dave Mustaine lyrics & solos in!
Then they kicked him out, and he formed the superior group Megadeth imo, whos new album due out in July will show Metallica or James Hetfield rather just who was, and still is the true Metal music king (Dave Mustaine!).
I stopped liking Metallica, when they stopped liking their fans!

I don't personally like Metallica that much (except few good tunes). Although their live shows are very good, with all the rockets and stuff. But getting 6 albums to top-40 is pretty impressive. It may have something to do with it, that they started selling the albums as midprice ones like few weeks ago (i think), but still. Oh and Megadeath also only have few good tunes... that Symphony of Destruction or something, is good. I only really like Nightwish and few other finnish metal bands.

Every Megadeth album is amazing, especially Countdown To Extinction, (which has the track you mentioned the impressive Symphony Of Destruction) Rust In Peace, Peace Sells....But Who's Buying, Cryptic Writings, & Youthanasia. There's a clear talent difference between Megadeth & Metallica. So many more complicated riffs in Megadeth tracks, and far better written vocals, and when Megadeth slow it down it works, for instance Promises & A Tout Le Monde are great slow tracks, and when they speed it up there right at home where they should be, need look no futher than Hanger 18, Holy Wars, Tornado Of Souls etc etc.
Dave Mustaine is actually of Finish origin.

The older albums are alot better. I do agree that ST Anger was a complete pile of shite that I have heard from them. To be honest if you produce crap like that, you know you are past your sell by date. The older albums rock and that is the proper metallica I knew.
