 Underrated, a great release, though Oct 20, 2009
I actually just bought this a few days ago, deciding to give it another chance. I have been on a metallica kick recently. I saw them on this album tour 18 yrs ago and have been a fan since the very early days. I still have the no life to leather demo, so I go back a long time. Maybe age has softened me. When this came out in '91 I hated it with a passion. I was so entrenched in death metal (still am) and thrash that this release felt like a betrayal for being such a loyal fan, The band gave up their thrash roots and were influenced by Bob Rock way too much. Well if the band wanted to still put out a thrash album they could have at that point. It was not like Bob Rock was pointing a gun to the members heads, the band was just way too easily influenced with him at the helm. It's a shame. A bunch of these songs I still feel would have been better if they were thrashed and speeded up. Anyway, enter a more mellow band. The band experimented with simpler song structures with a pretty massive production. I do like the production on this and the guitar sound is amazing. Songs are super catchy, enter sandman, the amazing sad but true-killer riff, the unforgiven, struggle within, nothing else matters, all catchy numbers. The band quickly made millions of new fans with this release and enter sandman started to get played at baseball and football games across the world. I have opened up over the years more, and feel this is a great record. I don't think it holds a candle to their first 4 releases or death magnetic, but I do feel that it's a great heavy record in it's own right.
 It's Good Oct 07, 2009
I had this on cassette tape when it first came out. This is viewed as a sell out, as Metallica gained widespread mainstream acceptance. Key tracks are: Enter Sandman, Holier Than Thou, The Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters. While before for most of the 80s they were an acrhetype speed/thrash metal band, here the songwriting is more pop oriented, scoring several hit singles. My only complaint is it's just old. But it still holds up.

Black Album Sep 25, 2009
This is the greatest CD to ever hit the entire universe. No doubts about it. Nothing can touch it and will never ever be able to touch it garenteed.

Last Album before they Sold out- Metallica-The Black Album. Sep 15, 2009
Real Metallica at it's highest peak before they sold out with "Load" a Load of Garbage. Songs Like Enter Sandman, OF Wolf and Man, Sad But True, and "The Unforgiven" as one of the best. As well "Don't Tread on me"(I'm a Republican:) and my Favorite "Wherever I may Roam". Not Too keen on The God that failed. Last of Metallica's Heydays. Get The Early Albums and leave this Last.

 Metallica on the verge of mainstream sell out. Sep 08, 2009
If you listened to Kill Em All and then this crap album you would ask yourself "what the hell happened" The worst thing is this album sold so well like LOAD & RE-LOAD (excellent album titles and you know why) because Metallica's fan base lets this garbage happen by buying anything Metallica releases be it good or total rubbish. After Kill Em All (thanks to Dave Mustaine) is Metallica's greatest album everything after that is just crap.
