A lead single can't be a deep cut of an album, though it can be obscure in overall singles discography as well :)

Interesting criteria for AJFA deep cuts too. I'd say either you know every song on this album or you know 3 of them which makes it an album of deep cuts. The casual guy who knows hits only, a casual concert goer, will not know Beholder, Harvester, Frayed Ends, To Live is to Die, Shortest Straw, Dyers Eve 100%. But any metal fan with a shred of decency will know all AJFA songs.
 
The machine gun chugga-chugga is incredible, especially with the power chords underneath during the intro. Also got one of Kirk's greatest solos. I loves it.

But the song doesn't flow that well.

It's constructed from a bunch of different pieces that when combined perfectly feel like you're out on the battlefield yourself, kinda like "Paschendale". It's chaotic. It's great.

I didn't mean that the tracks in question where the only deep cuts on the particular albums, but for the sake of drawing comparisons between the albums the share roughly the same positions in the running order on the albums and maybe have roughly similar statuses to each other as tracks in the Metallica canon.

For my allegation that the albums are very similar, it's certainly not as obvious a commonality as the similarities that the other tracks that I have mentioned share, and Harverster doesn't fit as you mention with it being a single and I think Disposable Heroes doesn't fit either as being much superior to the rest of the tracks.
 
I figured I'd try to clear up what I knew from the band before going into the discography listen, so here's a list of every Metallica song I heard before now.
  • Hit The Lights
  • The Four Horsemen
  • Jump in the Fire
  • (Anesthesia)—Pulling Teeth
  • Whiplash
  • No Remorse
  • Seek & Destroy
  • Ride the Lightning
  • For Whom The Bell Tolls
  • Fade To Black
  • Creeping Death
  • Battery
  • Master of Puppets
  • Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
  • Disposable Heroes
  • Leper Messiah
  • Orion
  • Blackened
  • ...And Justice For All
  • One
  • Harvester of Sorrow
  • Dyers Eve
  • Enter Sandman
  • Sad But True
  • Wherever I May Roam
  • Nothing Else Matters
  • All of St. Anger
  • All of Lulu
  • Hardwired
  • Atlas, Rised!
Hopefully that clears up where I was before going into this. This does not take into account which songs I could remember everything from and which ones I'd only heard once, so bear that in mind.
 
That reminded me, an ex girlfriend of mine knew the Black Album and every song in it, including all the non commercials ones, but she had never listened to any other song and hadn't even heard of Master Of Puppets, Seek and Destroy etc. She was really into metal as well

You're in for a treat when Death Magnetic comes up. Not many people here will agree with that statement though.
