You heard wrong dude...lol. I will hear and understand the argument for "Ride the Lightning" or Kill'em All" being the best album....but my vote always goes to "Master of Puppets". ..by the time "Metallica-Metallica or Black" came out, I was moving onto Nine Inch Nails, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Smashing Pumkins....
