My Friend Of Misery was originally meant to be an instrumental too, but Bob told them to throw some lyrics in it.

Anyways, I'd put Orion or Ktulu at the top; probably Orion since it's mixed better and a bit more dynamic. It's fun to play all of their instrumentals on guitar/bass, but Orion feels the most satisfying to me

Heavy riffs, that melodic solo and James' shredding all tell a story without lyrics

solid track, but if it was a little shorter, it would've been even better

The Call of Ktulu is the best Metallica song

Fuck no. It's dragged out way longer than it needs to be and is easily their worst instrumental. It's only really good live. That shit is actually so god damn boring.

Never heard that before. I love all 9 mins of it and I find it much less drawn out than To Live is To Die. Pulling Teeth is boring

All 3 of those are drawn out and boring a lot of the time, especially anesthesia imo. Suicide and Redemption and Orion are their only truly fantastic instrumentals imo.

Orion 2nd half is so much better than that 1st half imo. Besides the really cool bass intro it’s just not as good as the 2nd half. That being said I fucking hate fade out’s, and that Orion and S&R fade out is so fucking ass and pointless, I have 0 clue why they did that

I agree that it could have something more to it but it's still very well made. I guess it takes a while to summon the ktulu out of its base or whatever.

I love To Live Is To Die but I also like Orion. So, my list would be:

To Live Is To Die

Orion

Call of Ktulu

Pulling Teeth

I didn't listen to the one from Death Magnetic
