Metallica — 1991

The 'Black Album' that took metal mainstream, trading thrash complexity for tight, heavy anthems like 'Enter Sandman'. Massive and inescapable. Their commercial peak. Well into the discography, and still delivering.

On vinyl: Worth checking whether a reissue exists before hunting for an original pressing.
