1. Ride the Lightning is their best album, most people will argue about that but actually, if you don't take AC/DC into account it's the best album in the world with all tracks being very good and 4 of them being exceptional (fade to black, trapped under ice, creeping death, call of cthulhu - in the order they appear on the album), this just doesn't happen this days (or very rarely in music at all).
2. Although many people praise the S&M album, it actually sucks. With the exception of a tale Of Wolf and Man, which is performed even better than the original (hence, it's worth to buy this album just for this song alone).
3. I know it was supposed to be just 2 facts, but another one would be that it's pointless to buy any Metallica album from Load on.
Thank you for reading this. I hope you agree (if you don't = you don't like Metallica).
And now something to make your time spent on reading this blog worthwile:
And remember, this is their best album. Hands down.
That's 3 things. IMO metallica, though good have gotten worse as time goes on as far as CDs. Their new one, Death Magnetic isn't good compared to their previous.

If it's you that rated my post then I have just 2 things to say:
1. You didn't read the OP. 2. You rated it basing on what you didn't read.
You forgot a few things. They sold out intensely. Every album after And Justice For All... is awful on so many level.The band members themselves are dicks, and there are SO many better thrash bands out there, like Torture.
oh you know what, I forgot about Garage Inc. There are a lot of solid tracks on that. Maybe Metallica is really just the world's most successful cover band.
They should just record their take on Lightning to the Nations.

Well, you also have 4 great tracks there (Battery, The Thing That Should Not Be, Welcome Home, Orion), but overall, if they made me listen to the same album over and over again, I'd choose RTL over MOP.
MoP sucks ass because of all the goddamn filler. The Thing That Should Not Be, Sanitarium, Orion, Disposable Heroes, half of MoP itself, and Disposable Heroes (god that song is long). Terrible songs.
AJFA kinda followed in the footsteps, but at least Dyer's Even, Blackened, and Shortest Straw were good for some listens.
Also, I used to listen to metallica but now I realized Megadeth is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better. Rust in Peace is greater than any album metallica has. Metallica does have a lot of angst and emo lyrics though, so I can see why it appeals more to people.
Also, I hate their drummer (ulrich). Can't switch tempo for shit and half the time he's offbeat.
Agreed with all of this, even though I'm not a huge Metallica fan. I don't know why people like Kill em' all, MoP, or black album so much, all of those are so bland.

Uhhhh, no.
Also, Mustaine wrote a butt-tonne of ride the lightning, the stuff he did write is easily the best metallica have ever played.
