Metallica Survivor 2013: Results Thread - Fade to Black wins!

[Brigantium]

I need to go and listen, will this finish in the next few hours or tomorrow night?

 

[Black Wizard]

No. It says "This poll will close on Jan 9, 2014 at 3:23 AM."

 

[Brigantium]

Yeah, but the title also says 1/5 to 1/7.

 

[Mosh]

Yea it ends at 1/7, tomorrow night my time.

 

[Brigantium]

Great thanks! More listening time.

 

[Collin]

To be honest, the remaining 80s songs are very strong, Collin. I like DM a lot but still.

Death Magnetic was my first Metallica album. It's still one of the strongest and most consistent Metallica albums, it's even more consistent that Master of Puppets.

I will give you that; it is quite consistent. There isn't one song on there that I absolutely despise or even skip, whereas Puppets had Damage Inc. which I never cared for (too thrashy). Aside from the production issues (clipping/loudness war), I think DM is quite a solid album. It may lack the soul of Load, the semi-neoclassical influence of some of their mid-80s works, or the complexity of Justice, but it is a good listen.

Death Magnetic is my second favorite album by Metallica, The best is easily Justice. I agree with you on the fact that there isn't a bad song on it. I'm not bothered too much by the loudness war, it just doesn't really affect me. I think it's more than a great listen, It's an extraordinary listen!

Load has soul? No.

 

[Moon Child]

The End
Broken
Judas
Suicide
All Beyond Magnetic

 

[Detective Beauregard]

Load has soul? No.

About half the songs on there do. The other half range from merely average to painfully filler. And then ReLoad came along... ugh. Although I do agree with you about Justice being their strongest!

Yeah, it's consistent. Consistently boring.

 

[The Flash]

When it comes to Metallica albums, nothing beats Ride the Lightning. My favorite heavy metal album if you don't count the Maiden related ones.

 

[Brigantium]

Justice, Cyanide, Judas, Apocalypse, Hate Train, Just a Bullet Away, Rebel

I agree! 'Ride the Lightning' is Metallica's best and most consistently good album.

Justice
Life
Day

The End
Broken
Judas
Suicide

 

[Detective Beauregard]

I could never really get into half of Lightning. Bells, Fade, Creeping, and Ktulu are excellent, and the title track is okay, but the other tracks are filler beyond belief to my ears.

 

[Detective Beauregard]

Bell
Battery
That Was...
End
Day That...
Nightmare
Suicide
Apocalypse

 

[Black Wizard]

All the Magnetic material apart from 'That Was Just Your Life' and 'The Day That Never Comes'.
