How long to listen to Metallica's discography
about 12 hours 22 minutes
11 studio albums

Metallica's eleven studio albums come to about twelve and a half hours, which is long for that album count because the band writes long songs — several exceed eight minutes and the average album runs over an hour. ...And Justice for All alone is 65 minutes with an average track length approaching seven minutes. The catalogue spans from 1983 to the 2020s with no long breaks. It is one of the few rock discographies where the total listening time exceeds a full working day's worth of albums.
