Kill 'Em All | Ride the Lightning | Master of Puppets | Metallica | Load and ReLoad | St. Anger
- Growing the Beard: Arguably the transitional album from the all-out thrash metal of Kill 'Em All to the somewhat progressive thrash metal sound their '80s stuff is known for.
- Signature Song: "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Fade to Black". "Creeping Death" is also a live staple.
