Let's be real 80's Metallica was peak and I dare to say everything after that got worse never reached that. Sure they got more successful and the production of their albums was great but that's about it... the songs themselves were missing something.

The heart and soul of Metallica died with Cliff Burton.

Tbh I think the Black Album was when they started going downhill. Love old Metallica though.

black album is pretty meh let's not give them too much credit. I heard that during the AJFA tour they basically said 'fuck it these songs are getting to be too much work to play live every day' lol.

The black album is from 1991 though. And while I do think Bob Rock did a good job I don't like the songs anyway.

Ride the Lightning and Puppets were their best albums. Hands down.

Soul, heart, empathy, originality, humanity… it was always cynical commercial slop. It was never real
