Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075596111324 Label: Elektra / Wea Manufacturer: Elektra / Wea MPN: 61113 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Elektra / Wea Release Date: August 12, 1991 Studio: Elektra / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Called "the Black Album" by many (due to its monochrome cover), Metallica marks the group's entrance into the mainstream, with shorter songs, simpler song structures, and slower tempos overall. That said, this is an excellent album, featuring some of the best songwriting Metallica has ever done. "Enter Sandman," "Wherever I May Roam," and "God That Failed," despite being slower and more groove-oriented than the band's earlier work, feature the same heavy riffs and heavier rhythms that have always been a feature of Metallica's music. The band goes introspective with "Unforgiven," and proves that they can write a ballad with "Nothing Else Matters," which succeeds better than one might expect. Overall, this is a high-energy album despite its laid-back approach, and is in many ways superior to the previous . . . And Justice for All, which was weakened by overly complicated song structures and mediocre production. -- Genevieve Williams Album Description: Japanese edition of their multi-platinum 1991 smash album that spent four consecutive weeks at #1, with the bonus track 'So What'. 13 tracks, also featuring the top 40 hits 'Enter Sandman', 'The Unforgiven' & 'Nothing Else Matters'. A Sony Records release. Album Details: Australian Release featuring a Limited Edition Bonus Live in London EP. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Disappointing then and now Years later, I'm still disappointed. Years later I still cannot listen to this album all the way through without cringing. Rating:  - The "Black" albumOne of thier best.This is the first one I bought,on cassette,and is what made me a Metallica fan. Rating: - Metal Militia SummonerI see things from a different point of view to all those people saying Metallica sold out with this album. Yes, they did, but here's my view: At my very 12 or 13 years I listened every crap radio threw me. But one day I listened to this "radio friendly" Metallica song Enter Sandman. It got me at once. I thought "man, this is what I really want to listen to from now on. What is this music? What is this group? What else have they made?" Sice that day I digged into the roots not only of metal, ...

Yea Metallica got a little softer but this album IS still metal and is one of the top 10 greatest albums of all time, in any genre! We are suppose to give ratings and reviews for the music on this cd and not what Metallica did afterwards cause yes they seem they money hungry a-holes but this album is still a masterpiece and EASILY 5 stars! Rating: - The Black Album? How 'bout the BLAND Album?All right, even I can admit that this was one of the first "metal" CD's that I picked up, right alongside Judas Priest's "Sin After Sin" and "Unleashed in the East." This was a mere year and a half ago (yeah, little late to the party), and I thought it sucked then even after such little exposure to other music. AND I STILL THINK IT SUCKS NOW. In fact, this album almost ruined Metallica for me. I never even wanted to hear any other Metallica, I was so disappointed. It took me a whole six months or ... Read More |
