Glad somebody said it! Ride the Lighting was so awesome. I like MOP and AJFA a lot too, but for favorite I'd go with Ride.

Also, I hate to talk **** on Jason, but the albums started turning less "metal" when he joined. AJFA was their last true metal album (even though it had less of a hardcore metal feel than the others).
