I prefer old Metallica album (understand by this from kill 'em all to black album).
Load was already quite a change but still had some fine tunes.
On reload, I liked The memory Remains. I have already heard that most fans thought that song sucked because of marianne faithful but heh, just matter of tastes ^^
St Anger just sucked especially because of drums sound.
My list of their best songs ?
No special order :
Master of puppets
Whiplash
For whom the bells
Nothing else matters
and so much more
Concerning Cunning Stunt it was a nice live performance except for the singing part, James' voice was becoming crap already.
Take a look at the good old Bind & Purge to see Metallica at their best ^^
Yeah baby ^^
