Limit it to Burton era Metallica and you've got a deal. I play bass and love Jason Newsted, but I think his creative contribution was limited.
Yeah, I think thrash lovers got suspicious at the Black album (which I actually love), and the rest bailed at Load. But actually, their most recent albums are pretty fucking awesome again, imo. I find Death Magnetic to be kind of halfway between Kill 'Em All and the Black Album. The first song, "This is your Life" really does remind me of those earlier, kick-ass albums. The only downside is that they are such a tight band now that the music sounds a little boxed; that out-of-control feel of Kill 'Em All had something much more raw.
