No, it is not watered down or tamed. there is nothing on Ride the Lightning that is as heavy or unrelenting as Battery or Damage Inc for example. On the other hand, as perfect as Ride the Lightning is (and it actually is, as are all first 4 albums), the musical brilliance in terms of originality, breaking frontiers and melting your face that are the compositions of Master of Puppets and Orion is pretty much godlike. :)

Old Metallica actually came up in my life recently , too.
I am a librarian and found all the books we have about metal and one of them is the top 500 metal songs of all time. Since I am a nerd I decided to listen all of the songs on the list (again, for the most part).
Needless to say there was tons of Metallica on the list and when revisiting it I was reminded of how much they FUCKING RULED.
 
Master of Puppets was and remains my favorite. I am baffled by those who think it's weak compared to previous albums (which actually came up in another book I found- A Metallica Encyclopedia of all things).

Metallica... hmm...

Yep.  First five until I die.  And yes, that DOES include the black album.

To be honest, I found Death Magnetic a bit sad and overblown.  It just never really got the old cardio-vascular amped like, say, ...And Justice For All (which, if I'm not mistaken, was the sound they were going for).  I was really hoping it would, too, but...

In short, old Metallica still does it, every time.
