I don't really live in Maryville. I'm just here for college. I actually live in Excelsior Springs.

I like MoP, but some of the stuff on it and RtL I can't stand - the beginning of the over the top, melody-oriented stuff. To me, AJFA was just the end of that progression into some kind of artsy, pop metal.
Personally, my favorite Metallica album was "Kill Em All". I think Cliff dying was a huge issue, but I also think that Mustaine splitting had something to do with it too. The first couple of albums he put out with Megadeth were far better than what Metallica was doing at the time.
