I'd rank them:
Master of Puppets
Ride The Lightning
And Justice for All
Kill 'em All
Death Magnetic
Metallica

AJFA might have made top spot, but the production really brings down the quality.. they might as well have hired Jason after recording that album; it would have sounded no different. (not to mention the drums sounding like a $300 kit)

Ride the Lightning.  KEA and Master are also great. From AJFA onwards, I like less and less of what I hear.  But agreed with Toaster Mantis, Black/Load/Reload are not entirely bad, it's just that you need somebody like Chris Cornell rather than Hetfield to sing those songs.

RTL for me.
I can't stand AJFA anymore because I've become a production snob and the guitar tone and almost complete absence of bass guitar just ruins it for me

Ride the lightning is indeed a great improvement over the previous album. And Cliff's bass is terrific ! A really sad loss for metal.

No Garage Inc., no vote.
 
Okay, so it's not original material.  It's the sound of a band that is capable of playing whatever they damn well please, often besting the source.  Now I'm not a huge Metallica fan, but I probably listen to Garage Inc. as much as all the other albums combined.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Master of Puppets is epic, while ...And Justice for All is a very close second, but the sound quality is much lacking, and Newstead isn't a very good bassist...:)
I Love Rush.

Ride The Lightning for me. It has it all. Trash metal anthems like Trapped Under Ice or Creeping Death. Classic tunes like For Who The Bell Tolls or Metallica's best ballad which is Fade To Black and a kick ass instrumental with Ktulu. There absolutely no waste on this album. And Justice For All on second place and Master Of Puppets on third.

Dang, I'm stuck between Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All. But I think I'll lean towards Master of Puppets because, sorry if I offend any Metallica fans, I find One to be an overrated song. It's a good song, but I find other tracks on the album to be better then that song.

I must go with the very few who seem to like The Black Album. It's the only Metallica album I like as a whole, most of the songs are pretty good and enjoyable for me, while the rest of the albums just have a few songs which I really like. I also just haven't been able to understand what all the fuss about Master of Puppets is, I find that album rather dull and almost like none of it's songs, plus I've never been able to get into the way they play on this album (for me it sounds kind of too amateur, but certainly I listen to something different than most other people); the only songs I like on this album are Welcome Home and Orion, and even those ones aren't among my favourite Metallica songs: for me Fade to Black is much better than Welcome Home, and Call of Ktulu is much better than Orion, so just about anytime I would rather listen to Ride the Lightning over Master of Puppets. Oh yeah, and I don't really undestand either how can St. Anger have more votes than Death Magnetic (2 vs 0 votes at the moment), I didn't really like Death Magnetic so much, but St. Anger must be the worst thing Metallica ever did.

well for musical reasons i would have to say justice but s/t and master wins because thery're for me the ones that have "it", also for sentimental reasons (bought both when i was 11, first albums ever).

favourite track though = the call of ktulu

And Justice For All

EDIT: LOL The first time around I put Kill em All.
My tastes are always changing. But technicality always wins!
AJFA for sure.
Close 2nd is MoP
Then RTL, Kill em All, Death Magnetic, Load, Black Album, St Anger, and ReLoad (total crap)

Ride the Lightning hands down, by far better than AJFA which is surprisingly voted so high on this page. Actually IMO AJFA is their weakest album in their period 1983-1991.

Agreed AJFA is not that great.

It's between Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets for me.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place
