Why do people hate this album? They were still badasses in this era. They didn't become pussies until the Reload/St. Anger buttrock.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Xm8o0-Lsk
Every album of theirs is great for different reasons.
>>130155363The heart wants what it wants, don't worry about the opinions of others anon.
>>130155363Love it or loathe it, the Black Album going Double Diamond is an achievement held by no other Metal band.Neither Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Mötley Crüe, Scorpions, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer nor any other leading Metal band came close. Metallica stands alone, and that's saying something.>inb4 Linkin Park, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Kid Rock, Guns 'n Roses, Van HalenNone of those bands' albums that went Diamond are Metal. Def Leppard stopped being Metal after On Through the Night, and the rest are either Hard Rock, Hard Alternative or Nu-Metal (that's a misnomer; it's not Metal).
>>130155363Extremely boring album. Riff bashing with shitty riffs and guitar solos all in the same mode.
>>130155363good tone, it's just not my stylehowever they were at their peak playing live during that time
This is exactly when they started to sound like pussies
>>130155363They went full retard commercial.Slow, attempting to be melodic and passing off Hetfield as a singer.They sold out and the album reflects this.Hannemann thought it was lame, nuff said.
>>130155363Give me Justice or give me death, but 12-year old me still loves this album in places. My Friend of Misery is a top 5 Met song for me.
