Top 25 Albums cont...(3-1)

3) Metallica - Metallica
A.K.A. The Black Album. This is a staple in every male's CD collection. Metallica is a staple in every male's listening selection. If you don't have this album or like Metallica, I can only assume A) You're a flaming homosexual or B) You have never heard a song by them in your entire life. Every single song is great on this album. Not good...great. The Black Album turned the table for Metallica. This is supposedly the album where they "took a different path" and they "went soft." BS. The Black Album separates Metallica from everyone else in the music industry. Metallica are the gods of heavy metal and will remain unfathomed for eternity.

2) Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion 1&2
They are basically a 2 disc set. Both released at the same time, these albums are legendary. Guns N' Roses are indescribable in the Use Your Illusions. Don't Cry, Garden of Eden, Coma, Civil War, Yesterdays, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Live and Let Die, Get In the Ring (love it), and You Could Be Mine. Of course November Rain and Estranged are two of the most well-written songs I have ever heard in my life. They both sound like it was written to portray 3 songs into 1. Axl Rose, Slash, Duff, and Izzy symbolize Guns N' Roses as legendary figures in the world of rock.

1) Metallica - ...And Justice For All
Easily the most talented display of musical skills that's ever been recorded. Anyone who knows their music knows that these 4 guys are the most talented on every level. No one can touch Metallica's intensity in ...And Justice For All. The speed and precision possesed in this album will forever be unmatched. From the likes of Blackened, ...And Justice For All, the instrumental To Live Is To Die, and the legendary One. The double bass drum, guitar speed, and precision are downright freakish. It almost seems literally impossible to play instruments the way Metallica does. That's probably why no one ever covers Metallica songs...they can't! Best album = best band. I'm out.
