When trying to determine which album reigns supreme in the Metallica
universe, fans generally are divided into to two different camps: old
Metallica vs. new Metallica. This subject has been a point of
disagreement among fans for many years, and there are typically two very
distinct opinions about which era produced the best Metallica album.
For fans of the vintage Metallica sound, the album that is generally regarded as the best is, without a doubt, the band’s third studio album – Master of Puppets. This album captures the youthful energy and aggressiveness that made the early albums great, but it also conveys an element of sophistication and maturity. It’s a metal masterpiece.
The album is, at times, both melodic and intense. Songs like Master of Puppets and Welcome Home (Sanitarium) have been fan favorites for decades, and to many they are the epitome of the Metallica experience.
There are many people who believe that Master of Puppets is one of the greatest albums ever, from any band. In fact, when many rock radio stations compile lists of the top rock songs, it is very common to find Master of Puppets listed prominently in their countdowns.
For fans that enjoy Metallica’s newer, more mainstream, sound Metallica’s self-titled fifth studio album (also referred to as The Black Album) is generally thought of to be the pinnacle of the band’s career.
Commercially speaking, there is no doubt that this album is their most successful mainstream offering. If Master of Puppets is regarded as metal masterpiece, then The Black Album is certainly its rock equivalent.
This is the album that made Metallica a household name. Songs like Enter Sandman, The Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters were played endlessly by media outlets across the country, and they exposed the band to a new audience. Due to the album’s success, the band quickly outgrew their underground metal status and took their place alongside the world’s premier rock bands.
Beginning with this album, the band began straying away from their Thrash metal roots, opting instead for a more straightforward commercially viable sound. The tracks tended to be shorter and less complicated. The radio friendly hits also received significant amounts of critical acclaim in the music press.
Both albums are hugely successful by any measurement, and they’re both fan favorites. They are two sides of the same coin, and determining which one is the best is largely a matter of personal preference.
The debate about the best Metallica album of all time will, no doubt, continue on through the ages, but there is no disputing that Metallica is an amazing band. They’ve had a huge impact on music throughout the course of their career.
