Query: Good, but not quite their best

This is a good CD but I fail to see how it's Metallica's best. A few songs on this album can be considered in the same league as the songs on Lightning and Puppets. These are "Blackened" (the best song on the disc & one of the band's best), "Eye of the Beholder", "One" and "Harvester of Sorrow". The others are good, but substandard compared to the likes of "Creeping Death" and "Master of Puppets". Overall, the sound of this album suffers, probably from the production. There's something about the sound of the guitars that doesn't sit right with me; they're a bit muddy sounding.
