Listen. Every Metallica album is essentially a classic to some degree, and every album has loads of hits. Metallica also does a great job representing a very good chunk of their discography live, so “deep cuts” is certainly a nebulous term here.
Picking a standout deep cut from every album was no easy task, given the quality spread across their career. These tracks may not have dominated the charts, but they’re the songs that really do deserve more love both from the band themselves and from the fans.
