Funny, those two were always kind of lumped together in my mind growing up. They are similar to me.
Got to go with thing that should not be. When he gets to the title lyric, that's just so heavy.

I was trying to think of a way to expand it to make it more interesting, like "which of these less popular songs from a popular album is better," but it didn't really sound good. Sorry.

I didn't include disposable heroes bc I figured most people liked it more than the other 2.

I haven't listened to either in a long time. I am going to do it now and cast my vote.

I honestly like them equally. I am probably slightly partial to The Thing That Should Not Be, only because it is sandwiched between such amazing songs I listened to it more.

One of my favorite MOP stories is an interview I heard once with Matt Pinfield. He said that when he got the album he refused to listen past Battery b/c has was so blown away by it that he was sure that he would be disappointed. I think that resonated with a lot of us that wore out that cassette.

I prefer LM. Lyrics of TTSNB don't resonate with me like they did (for some reason) as a teenager.

As a teenager I can honestly say I didn't know what the hell James was singing about in most of the puppets or justice album. Definitely not LM.
Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown? Wait, is he singing about a state fair? Who cares, proceeds to headbang.

Amazing he was a ripe 22 year old when he wrote MOP album lyrics.

The intro is killer. Used to listen to the intro while driving down Welborn on my way to the Rec to get me pumped.

Back to the topic, Leper Messiah is my pick of the two. The first 2 minutes are pretty epic...like the entire album, but we all know MOP is the greatest metal album of all time.

LM for sure. The beat is different and it makes this one unique from other Metallica songs.

Saw them play DH live as a very impressionable teenager in 94.
