My favorite of theirs would be Rust in Peace, Friedman was a beast on that one, and everything had a fast, interesting hook.
I actually like all of Metallica's albums, but I understand why people wish they would have stuck with what they started out with. Reload is my least favorite in their case, but I own all of them.
I'm actually liking a lot of these songs here, though. They seem to have regained some focus after just going for speed with Endgame, and they're using Broderick for much more interesting solos here in my opinion (I was kind of disappointed after seeing Broderick's "Bet You Can't Do This" and then Endgame all he got to do was go fast); not just going for speed, but also not going for Countdown to Extinction tempos either, just some good gallopy metal.
This might be my first pick up from them since United Abominations. I liked the Draiman guest verse on "Dance in the Rain," too. Good review.
