8. The Struggle Within (Metallica, 1991)
http://youtu.be/jGojL_HEkEU In a characteristically pithy put-down, Hetfields assertion that boredom sets into the boring mind on the closing track of Metallicas stratospherically popular eponymous album is enough to make you want to avoid his bad side. Such a mood belies this pacey little number however. With a liberal dose of relentless speed and aggression, its a treat for those who stick with the album all the way through instead of cherry picking their way through the hits.
