Discussion

otterstan1778: Justice would be S if you could hear the bass

grumpy_otter: St. Anger in F. The snare drum alone.

burritohater32: Load in C is criminal. The Outlaw Torn and Bleeding Me are top tier Metallica.

NatePlays: No Death Magnetic?

cursed_pigeon: First four are flawless, Black Album is great, then it gets complicated
