Master of Puppets had some hints of commercialism but they truly went down after Black.

Songs like Orion hint towards going to the mainstream, when did I say it was a bad thing? When they added ballads they were clearly going for that angle.

Don't nobody talk shit about Metallica. They've had some ups and downs. So has every band. St. Anger being a major "down." And yeah, LuLu is godawful. But they're still legends and one of my favorite bands. I can't believe people don't like the Black Album. I mean, f#ck, yeah Enter Sandman has been over played for sure. But the album is fantastic. And the newest Hardwired... is great, too. Some of the songs actually remind me of the Black Album.
That's crazy talk. You mean to say that Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for All are mainstream? No way. I would say that probably Black Album and beyond were more mainstream.
Their only arguably 'bad' albums, though, are St. Anger, LuLu, and maybe some of Re-Load. But I don't really count LuLu, though, because it was more of an experiment. An experiment gone horribly wrong, lol, but just an experiment none-the-less.
I've had mega fans tell Ride the Lightning was a sellout album.
Which makes the only "pure" Metallica what, KTA?

black album, when they sold their creative soul and let bob rock write their music.
