I prefer Show No Mercy to both, but out of those I still go for Metallica, more variety & better choruses.

I prefer SNM to both as well, mostly because the first 5 tracks are pretty much perfection.

Bonded by Blood is among the rare old-school thrash classics I genuinely enjoy. No contest here.

kinda interesting to me that they were a pretty solid band after that too, but there's no one other album anybody really points to. some love Pleasures of the Flesh, others not. some (like me) tout Fabulous Disaster, others think it was them watering their sound down.
2000 and onward is hit or mess but I still like Blood In, Blood Out a lot.

I've never listened to Bonded By Blood. (I'm listening to it as I type this post, and...nope, not really into it.) I saw Exodus once, in 1990; they were the middle band between openers Pantera and headliners Suicidal Tendencies. I heard Pleasures of the Flesh back in the '80s, and didn't like it enough to buy any more of their albums. So I'm gonna vote for KEA even though it's probably my fourth-favorite Metallica album.

Bonded is so savage, Holt is on fire, Baloff was a wickedly cool frontman, just a perfect underground album.
Kill 'Em All, on the other hand, is visionary, so much more musically varied than just thrash. It essentially laid the groundwork for everything that came out afterward.

you listen to that record and your hair automatically grows out into a waterfall of curls and a frayed jean jacket envelops your torso

I always felt that including School in the Birth-Metallica-Death timeline was a weird capitulation to authority and said so to my friend who had that shirt in 6th grade.

kill em all still gets me amped as hell, ridiculous lyrics aside, a whirlwind of beer cans and spikes and smoke. bonded in blood is a white hot meteor of righteous aggression, completely fucking up every poor soul in earshot. how much furniture was maimed at 80s house parties because of these albums?

I remember seeing Metallica in January 2009 and they encored with "Hit the Lights" and "Seek & Destroy" and it felt like the arena exploded.
