Well, I will stand myself somewhat corrected. Finally sat down and listened to Death Magnetic and while I can't realistically put anything as high as a top five it definitely lives up to the hype that they've returned closer to their roots. Definitely back to Metallica!Anyway, Metallica Metallica was the pivotal point in their career. Good album, but I don't think anything after it can even come close to comparing to their early BEST stuff. I don't think a top 5 list could get anything from after the black album.
