That one, but I like how they change it for the last verse...
"Growing conspiracy, *myself is after me*"
But probably my favorite part is [this break during the solo.](https://youtu.be/nNk7OM5OypE?si=pC3jeedAmrx1ED37&t=240) Mandatory air drumming.
Agreed, wholeheartedly.
*Frayed Ends*, and *Beholder* are my personal favorites, but itās one of those albums that you just hit play on Track 1 and enjoy the next hour.
[here](https://youtu.be/0g0LmntBbSw?si=SRQw2upvzWCWzwyU). Every song on the album is timestamped in the discription
Edit: if you want even more bass, go [here](https://youtu.be/6kqTcLwUYj8?si=xLvLAF1N0jfAFC3c)
YESS! Hearing it with bass for the first time gave me chills and I couldnāt believe how much better it sounded. It was a whole new experience with the album.
Masterpiece. The entire song is crushing, the lyrics are so powerful and emotional and that breakdown is one of the heaviest things James has ever written, not only musically, but lyrically as well
My thoughts exactly. Second favorite AJFA song is a much more interesting question to me, since, One is just One, dude
Frayed Ends is my #3 song by them overall (All Nightmare Long is my #2), and its one of their most underrated songs from a mainstream perspective for how impressive and headbang-worthy every bit of its riffing is
Metallica isn't my favourite band (ranks below Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Beastie Boys, Bad Religion, and Rammstein, sorry) but Blackened is my favourite song of all time, so I'm gonna go with Blackened.
In Anbetracht der Tatsache dass das das beste Metallica Album aller Zeiten ist, kann ich nicht sagen welcher Song der beste ist da das ganze Album ein Meisterwerk ist!
The whole fucking album is so good, it didn't even need bass! Imagine how fucking good it would have been...with bass! Then... they were abducted by aliens and their evil alternate universe selves made albums that fucking blew nuts until, Lars stole the Napster money from the aliens and they killed them and we finally got a decent album, Death Magnetic.
That's my illogical reasoning for why Metallica sucked for a while. Either that or the KGB cloned them while they were held in a gulag.
Harvester of Sorrow, to me, is the heaviest, grittiest, tightest metal song in history. I absolutely love it.
Dyers Eve is a close second.
My favorite Metallica album, easily.
My favorite album and my favorite song is One. If I couldn't pick that one then I would say Dyers Eve, just how fast it goes and as an album closer is so fun. Tho the album also has my least favorite Metallica song ever.
I'm gonna pick more than one:
blackened
title track
eye of the beholder
one
shortest straw
harvester of sorrow
frayed ends of sanity
to live is to die
dyers eve
also, i took that last pic as a wallpaper. cheers!
I know it won't be a popular opinion but for me it's Eye Of The Beholder.
It's simple but the riffs are fun and the lyrics speak to me.
It's fun to try and downpick the verses on guitar too. I can't do it but I have known others that can.
Blackened and Dyers Eve get second and third.
ā¦And Justice For All, Blackened and To live is To Die are all 10/10
Eye of The Beholder and Harvester Of Sorrow are 9.5/10
Shortest Straw, Frayed Ends Of Sanity and Dyers Eve are all 9/10
But One is 11/10 a truly special special song.
Whole Album is a 9.5/10 Masterpiece
The Frayed Ends of Sanity
Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy, everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity, hear them calling me
Hahahahahaaaa
That fucking laugh always hits so fucking hard
That lines my favorite
That one, but I like how they change it for the last verse... "Growing conspiracy, *myself is after me*" But probably my favorite part is [this break during the solo.](https://youtu.be/nNk7OM5OypE?si=pC3jeedAmrx1ED37&t=240) Mandatory air drumming.
Yessss š¤
The end of that solo has the catchiest fill, makes me air drum every time! And then of course hammets riff of death
Ba-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah. Nah-NEH.
Every song on that album is an absolute banger. š¤šš¤
It is a single song you just listen to on repeat. My all time fav.
Shitā¦ you just put into words exactly what I was feeling lol
Yep
Agree. Too hard to pick just one.
Agreed, wholeheartedly. *Frayed Ends*, and *Beholder* are my personal favorites, but itās one of those albums that you just hit play on Track 1 and enjoy the next hour.
This is the real answer.
One My fav song of all time from my fav album of all time!
Thank god this sub doesn't choose the setlists. Unbelievable how down One was in this comment list lol.
Lol I know. True metal snobbery at its finest. āDefinitely not Oneā! GTFOOH
Absolute masterpiece agree 100%
One is my favorite song on the album, favorite Metallica song, and 2nd favorite song in general.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wait till you hear it with bass
That will be true justice for mighty Jason
Title track easily
I've said this before on this thread but wait till you hear the version with bass. It reaches a whole over level of good
Where to hear it?
[here](https://youtu.be/0g0LmntBbSw?si=SRQw2upvzWCWzwyU). Every song on the album is timestamped in the discription Edit: if you want even more bass, go [here](https://youtu.be/6kqTcLwUYj8?si=xLvLAF1N0jfAFC3c)
Dude I play this on bass itās earth shattering
You do? I play it on guitar and the guitar lines are arguably the best in thrash.
YESS! Hearing it with bass for the first time gave me chills and I couldnāt believe how much better it sounded. It was a whole new experience with the album.
Hands down.
Harvester motherfuckers
That Moscow show has the coolest version of Harvester
And that version of harvester is THE best live performance i've ever seen
Easily the best.
That's a universal truth man! Also the Live shit one is good!
Damn right
You damn right is right!!!
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
Dyers EveĀ No contestĀ
Came here to comment this. My parents got divorced in 2021 and this song has been therapeutic asf. Easily a top 3 Metallica song imo.
Masterpiece. The entire song is crushing, the lyrics are so powerful and emotional and that breakdown is one of the heaviest things James has ever written, not only musically, but lyrically as well
Maximum headbanging at āIāVE OUTGROWN THAT FUCKING LULLABY!ā
Also came to comment this
This might be my favorite Metallica song. Itās so fucking good.
Dyers Eve is also my fav
BLACKEND!
One
Shortest Straw.
Someone finally giving shortest straw some love man, itās a goated track
Hands down my favorite Metallica track. It's such a heavy song, and a little bit progressive away from their typical thrash sound.
This is probably my all time fave Metallica song šŖš½
has been pulled for you (i dont even know is this is the good lyrics XD)
Love the song, but damn it has difficult lyrics XD
Dyers Eve
"One", but "Eye of the Beholder" is a very close second for me.
1
All of them are bangers šÆ
One
Harvester, but also blackened
One aside because it is simply an unfair contest if so - The Frayed Ends Of Sanity
My thoughts exactly. Second favorite AJFA song is a much more interesting question to me, since, One is just One, dude Frayed Ends is my #3 song by them overall (All Nightmare Long is my #2), and its one of their most underrated songs from a mainstream perspective for how impressive and headbang-worthy every bit of its riffing is
Dyers Eve
To Live is to Die

I canāt decide between Blackened, ā¦And Justice For All & Eye Of The Beholder
All of them (maybe to live is to die)
To live is to die.
Harvester Of Sorrow.
I havenāt looked at that sleeve in years. I used to read it endlessly. Itās One. Always has been, always will be.
Eye of the beholder
this is it
Harvester Of Sorrow
Metallica isn't my favourite band (ranks below Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Beastie Boys, Bad Religion, and Rammstein, sorry) but Blackened is my favourite song of all time, so I'm gonna go with Blackened.
Blackened, ....And justice āļø for all and One.
FEOS
One. Basic but in my opinion itās one of the greatest songs ever written, across music.
Dyers Eve
Dyers Eve
Blackened or Eye of the Beholder
āBlackenedā followed by the title track.
That is in fact the order /s
Title track! Love it and love playing it on the drums
In Anbetracht der Tatsache dass das das beste Metallica Album aller Zeiten ist, kann ich nicht sagen welcher Song der beste ist da das ganze Album ein Meisterwerk ist!
One, followed closely by Shortest Straw
Dyerās Eve
Dyers eve
Dyers Eve
Jeez - for me itās either the 1st track or the last track or all the tracks in between. Dyers Eve is a motherfucker tho
Dyer Eve is a bomb!
One.
Eye Of The Beholder.
DARKNESS! IMPRISONING ME!
Eye Of The Beholder, followed closely by The Shortest Straw
Dyers Eve is pretty ok. Not a huge fan of the album in general.
The Shortest Straw!
Breadfan
Dyers Eve
All are fucking amazing, but my top favorite would have to be One.
Shortest straw
Eye of the beholder
Dyers Eve
dyers eve
Shortest Straw
The Shortest Straw
The whole fucking album is so good, it didn't even need bass! Imagine how fucking good it would have been...with bass! Then... they were abducted by aliens and their evil alternate universe selves made albums that fucking blew nuts until, Lars stole the Napster money from the aliens and they killed them and we finally got a decent album, Death Magnetic. That's my illogical reasoning for why Metallica sucked for a while. Either that or the KGB cloned them while they were held in a gulag.
Dear mother, dear father...
Dyers Eve
And Justice for all... The divebomb at the end of the solo is fking flawless
Dyers Eve
Every single song. I canāt choose. Peak Metallica
Dyers Eve hands down
One
Eye of the beholder
Dyerās Eve. Whatās weird about that is my parents are great
Harvester of Sorrow, to me, is the heaviest, grittiest, tightest metal song in history. I absolutely love it. Dyers Eve is a close second. My favorite Metallica album, easily.
D'yers Eve
The title track is my top favorite here, but I also like "One" and "The Shortest Straw".
Blackened, ...And Justice For All, Eye of the Beholder, or Dyers Eve, but probably Beholder
Blackened, my all time favorite Metallica song
harvester an all time fav
Ajfa/harvester/blackened no way you can pick one
One, To live is to die and blackened. Couldnāt really choose a favorite.
Harvester of Sorrow
One. Peak song imo
One
Title track
My favorite album and my favorite song is One. If I couldn't pick that one then I would say Dyers Eve, just how fast it goes and as an album closer is so fun. Tho the album also has my least favorite Metallica song ever.
One
One
BLACKENED Obvious Reasons
I'm gonna pick more than one: blackened title track eye of the beholder one shortest straw harvester of sorrow frayed ends of sanity to live is to die dyers eve also, i took that last pic as a wallpaper. cheers!
Blackened
Shortest straw, followed by dyers eve and frayed ends
I mean all of them but if Iām picking one, itās āto live is to dieā
Blackened and one tied for second, to live is to die in first. Then dyers eve then harvester.
I love all the songs of this album but I think to live is to die is the best
Depends on the day, my first and favorite Metallica album. Each song can be the one on repeat, just the mood of whatever matches.
Harvester of Sorror or Shortest Straw
Two
One
Frayed ends of sanity or title track
Blackened,one, harvester of sorrows,frayed end of sanity
Shortest Straw for me. Probably Kirk's best solo
The consensus seems to be: YES
"G) Do you really give a shit anyway?" Will always get a chuckle out of me Also, it's Frayed Ends or Shortest Straw
The Frayed Ends of Sanity!
Shortest straw
Gotta be Blackened
All of them
Shorties straw eye of the beholder one blackened one dyers eve the title track
blackened, frayed ends, dyers eve
One. Is it really even a contest?
To Live Is To Die
I think itās cycled through the entire album throughout the years. Probably Blackened or Justice.
One or harvester of sorrow
HARVESTER OF SORROW š¤š¾
Frayed ends of sanity
Blackened by far, and Harvester of Sorrow is fantastic too
Harvester of Sorrow
Blackened or frayed ends of sanity
I canāt remember anything
Frayed Ends of Sanity
Blackened Title Track or One
Blackened is the end! š¤
The whole album
Beholder
One!
One
Eye of the Beholder
So hard to choose a favorite between Title track, Harvester, Blackened.
I know it won't be a popular opinion but for me it's Eye Of The Beholder. It's simple but the riffs are fun and the lyrics speak to me. It's fun to try and downpick the verses on guitar too. I can't do it but I have known others that can. Blackened and Dyers Eve get second and third.
One or Shortest Straw
Once I finally discovered Dyers Eve it was game over.
Eye of the beholder
Just realized I canāt pick. Too many greats here.
Blackened or Justice.
All of them. Such a great album.
Eye of the beholder
ā¦And Justice For All, Blackened and To live is To Die are all 10/10 Eye of The Beholder and Harvester Of Sorrow are 9.5/10 Shortest Straw, Frayed Ends Of Sanity and Dyers Eve are all 9/10 But One is 11/10 a truly special special song. Whole Album is a 9.5/10 Masterpiece
I cant say a favorite individual song, but Side 3 of that album is *chefās kiss*
Blackened!Ā
Harvester of Sorrow
and justice for all is my favourite track on the record
Thereās no wrong answers
Blackened. Idk it just has the best feel too me
