This is probably one of Metallica's best albums. Hard, fast and generally angry. when I first got this album back in 86 , it blew me away. Tracks like Battery, Thing That should Not be, Disposable Heroes and Damage Inc, Rock. And who could go past Orion with Burtons kick ass bass work. Great album. 5/5
