Literally, this has too many hard hitting tracks for me to say I prefer Master of Puppets over it. Also, I am a Cliff Burton fanboi, and he had way more songwriting contributions on this one and just more interesting bass parts overall. Ktulu is what I'd probably say is my favorite Metallica song ever.

I'm a crust punk and For Whom the Bell Tolls is a stenchcore song played by a thrash band. I'm also a Cliff guy cause I'm mostly a bassist. Master of Puppets gets too wanky for me andninfind each song could have a minute cut out. And justice songs could usually have 3 minutes cut and I'm also not big on it anyway. I'm not listening to thrash for technicality

Funnily enough, I kinda do like that aspect of Justice because I mostly do listen to prog out of all metal subgenres. That and a fascination with bass playing is why Orion is my favorite track off of Puppets.

Also, I just wish Lars would finally drop the damn stems for Ktulu (and all other Metallica songs with unreleased stems while he's at it).

As a non metal guy who's favorite punk genres are ironically the closest to metal punk gets, generally the proggier side of stuff ain't for me, especially if it's something like thrash which I think you should just kinda aim for Reign in Blood. As far as metal goes, I like a lot of sludge and doom metal and listen to a lot of Bolt Thrower. I'm a riff merchant, a mediocre musician but good songwriter, I live and die by the riff hook
