Don’t forget you can hear lots of great metal music on Midnight Metal every Friday night at midnight right here on the WRIF!

What do you think is the most underrated metal album of all time? There are so many underrated metal albums that deserve to get more attention. For me, I personally think Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” is underrated.

I know what you’re thinking. That’s a pretty popular album, right? It also has received lots of attention and accolades over the years.

But, when it comes to Metallica, when people name those bread-and-butter records that are their most recognized, they’re always “Master of Puppets” or “…And Justice for All” and “The Black Album.” I rarely hear “Death Magnetic” appreciated. Also, “Ride the Lightning” is another Metallica album that I think deserves more recognition.

Here’s one of the famed songs off the album:

So, those are my two favorite “underrated” metal albums. There are lot out there, though. Reach out to me with your picks on Facebook here, and check out a list of the most underrated metal albums of all time here. Listen to Midnight Metal on demand here!
