* ''Music/SeventyTwoSeasons'' sees the band taking more introspective themes in their lyrics while still retaining their signature brand of intense metal. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OeC9CGtWcM The title track]] is considered to be one of the album's best tracks, a relentless roller coaster of a song that deals with how the first 18 years of a person's life influence a person's growth and evolution.

* ''...And Justice for All''. They had just lost arguably the driving force behind their musical evolution into the nine-minute epic-writing band we know them as today and were pissed at having to hire a replacement (the perpetual ButtMonkey Music/JasonNewsted). They somehow channeled that into an album that had enough sheer force behind every song to make every song, from the opening reversed-guitar intro to "Blackened" to the last thrash-tastic moments of "Dyers Eve", an expression of the raw fury they felt at the time. They even managed to score a Grammy off [[AndIMustScream "One"]], which cemented their meteoric rise to fame.

* ''Master of Puppets'' if only for the title song, and "Battery", but consensus says the entire album qualifies. There's a reason why so many web sites and metal magazines have ranked it as the greatest metal album of all time; it's pure, distilled awesome from start to finish.

* Their debut album, 1983's ''Kill 'Em All'', which may just blow ''Master of Puppets'' clear out of the water. "Hit the Lights" is just fucking awesome: not even rabid metal fans had heard a song that fast before! "Motorbreath" is similarly insane, and "The Four Horsemen" is just plain spooky. [[https://youtu.be/KlxEejhHfr8 Metal Militia]], too, is a blisteringly fast closing song with a bassline that is almost superhuman.

* [[https://youtu.be/uhBHL3v4d3I "Hardwired"]], their first 2016 single, is a great representation of what makes Metallica great.

"[[https://youtu.be/m46Z0-HXySo Spit Out the Bone]]", meanwhile, is being praised as one of the band's best songs since 1988.

** Even if Hetfield doesn't enjoy the song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWnKdoJlH8Q Don't Tread On Me]]" is not to be overlooked. While the frontman considered the song "goofy" and Metallica claims to never be a politically slanted band, it is appreciated among fans, especially Libertarians.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh4r49tzn88 The Unforgiven]]" does a good job of overwhelming the listener between the alternating riffs and the most powerful guitar solo of the album, and lyrics drawing from James' [[CrisisOfFaith anger at religion]].

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VUgHJUBJ70 The God That Failed]]" continues on the theme of RageAgainstTheHeavens by delving into James' anger and feelings that religion stopped his mother from getting the cancer treatment she needed, leading to her death.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSxjSNLKh-Q The Day That Never Comes]]" feels like something that would have come out of ''...And Justice for All''. The powerful melody and lyrics leading into the solos that finish the track will carry you around easily. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkNfNR1WYMY The music video]] is no slouch either and perfectly conveys the feeling of the song.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgNJFbe8SdU All Nightmare Long]]" is one of the most technical tracks of the album, loaded with riffs, solos, a frantic pace that reflects James' lyrics about monsters coming back from the dead, and an environment that old fans wouldn't have felt since ''Master of Puppets''.
** How do you describe "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr_pNRdUZpA Suicide and Redemption]]" if not as one of the best instrumental tracks the band has ever made? Ten straight minutes of the band dishing everything they have to offer on their instruments. The track is also notorious for its three different solos, two from James and one from Kirk, which make different versions of the track: the main one with Kirk's solo but excluding James' second solo, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS86cXUcl8g a version with James' solo]] that excludes Kirk's solo, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq1ZC8pJKfU a version with both solos]] that extends the track to nearly eleven minutes of pure awesome.
* Their debut album, 1983's ''Kill 'Em All'', which may just blow ''Master of Puppets'' clear out of the water. "Hit the Lights" is just fucking awesome: not even rabid metal fans had heard a song that fast before! "Motorbreath" is similarly insane, and "The Four Horsemen" is just plain spooky. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlxEejhHfr8 Metal Militia]], too, is a blisteringly fast closing song with a bassline that is almost superhuman.

* [[TearJerker Lay beside me, tell me what they've done, and speak the words, that I wanna hear, to make my demons run.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmqDtriTUEI "The Unforgiven II"]] is just beautiful and epic. It also has one of the greatest simple guitar riffs of all time. Also, on the ''[=ReLoad=]'' front, we have "Fuel", the Grammy winning "Better Than You" (AWESOME guitar solo in the middle!), the hard-rocking "The Memory Remains" and the epic-length "Fixxxer" (get a load of that intro). And "Low Man's Lyric", which sounds like it could have been on ''Music/TheWall''. With bonus hurdy-gurdy.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAq9xoJb-oQ Frantic]]" starts the album by giving the listener an idea of how it's going to be, with an aggressive track that has guitars, drums and Hetfield's voice dominating the entire environment.
** Consider [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBOOBkUJzjI the title track]]. A little bit long-ish? Mayhap. Still awesome? You bet your ass. Seven minutes plus of pure, distilled aggression as only Metallica could have done at that time. It also doesn't hurt that it features some of Lars' fastest double-bass footwork since Battery.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cesQasOsg1Q Some Kind of Monster]]", which also gives its name to the documentary that registered the album's TroubledProduction, is an ominous, savage, tribalistic attestation to the band's abilities and reflects the anger involved in the album's conception.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhBHL3v4d3I "Hardwired"]], their first 2016 single, is a great representation of what makes Metallica great. The beautiful and dynamic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tdKl-gTpZg "Moth Into Flame"]], another single from ''Hardwired'', is similarly an excellent example of how well the band has matured. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m46Z0-HXySo Spit Out the Bone]]", meanwhile, is being praised as one of the band's best songs since 1988. Many people have commented that they didn't think the band had a song this intense in them this late in their career. Special mention also goes to "[[https://youtube.com/watch?v=IkVG-qXRgfo Am I Savage?]]", due in part to being used in [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=mwU4bxVOyVI the preview promo]] for the Wrestling/TripleH vs. Wrestling/SethRollins unsanctioned match at ''[[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania 33]]''.
* ''Lulu'' has been widely criticised, but, as with ''St. Anger'', it has its defenders, and the people who like it tend to really love it. The closing song, the nearly-twenty-minute epic "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ_VBkdsS0U Junior Dad]]", is absolutely gorgeous, with a closing section that could have come straight out of Music/SigurRos. An arguable career highlight for both Metallica and Music/LouReed. Other highlights include "Pumping Blood" (featuring some of Lars Ulrich's best drumming since the '80s) and the devastating "Little Dog" and "Dragon".

* ''...And Justice For All''. They had just lost arguably the driving force behind their musical evolution into the nine-minute epic-writing band we know them as today and were pissed at having to hire a replacement (the perpetual ButtMonkey Music/JasonNewsted). They somehow channeled that into an album that had enough sheer force behind every song to make every song, from the opening reversed-guitar intro to "Blackened" to the last thrash-tastic moments of "Dyers Eve", an expression of the raw fury they felt at the time. They even managed to score a Grammy off [[AndIMustScream "One"]], which cemented their meteoric rise to fame.

* ''St. Anger'' is a polarizing album, but those who are on the "Love It" side ''really'' tend to love it. Consider the title track. A little bit long-ish? Mayhap. Still awesome? You bet your ass. Seven minutes plus of pure, distilled aggression as only Metallica could have done at that time. It also doesn't hurt that it features some of Lars' fastest double-bass footwork since Battery.
%%** Some songs are admittedly overlong, but highlights from this album include "Frantic", "Sweet Amber", "The Unnamed Feeling".
%%Why are they highlights? As written, this is zero-context.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAq9xoJb-oQ Frantic]]" starts the album by giving the listener an idea of how it's going to be, with an aggressive track that has guitars, drums and Hetfield's voice dominating the entire environment.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh4r49tzn88 The Unforgiven]]" does a good job to overwhelm the listener between the alternating riffs and the most powerful guitar solo of the album, and lyrics drawing from James' [[CrisisOfFaith anger at religion]]. It says something that the band would eventually make two sequels to the song on ''Reload'' and ''Death Magnetic''.
