Metallica is boldly and appropriately named as it's virtually impossible to have any meaningful discussion about the Heavy Metal genre without any mention being made about the vast impact that this band has made over the 80s and up to the mid 90s. They lifted up the genre from mindless, juvenile topics of wild sex, drugs and fast cars to discussions about serious topics from the meaninglessness of war to environmental disasters and so forth. What U2 did for pop/rock, Metallica did for Metal in blending intelligent topics with very, very good musicianship and hence making the genre more accessible to a much wider audience than ever before. In doing so, they extended the life of Metal and ensured an audience at a time when people were more interested in synth-pop ala Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Howard Jones etc. Metal owes a great debt to this band for ensuring the endurance and evolution of the genre to what it is to this day.
This version of the 1986 album comes in a mini-lp replica sleeve (mlps) design which is very, very well executed and is one of the best that I've ever seen. The gatefold sleeve is made from very good quality thick cardboard and assembled so well that you don't fear it coming apart easily once the glue starts to get old. Also included is a 12 page booklet with all the lyrics in Japanese. For the English ones you'll need a good magnifying glass to read it from the gatefold sleeve itself which very faithfully replicates the original lp design.
The sound quality has not been remastered but the original production was so well done that you don't really care. Unlike the "Ride the Lightning" mlps version, the lack of modern remastering e.g. JVC K2, 24-bit, SHM etc, isn't missed too much as the sound quality is still very good showing that it pays to do a job very well the first time; Edward Deming would be proud. Content wise there are no weak tracks here and in fact the whole album should be experienced at one sitting which is the definition of a classic album; the whole is stronger than the sum of its parts. Given the good sound quality, the brilliant mlps design and of course the excellent content you can't fault this album but you'll have to decide if the overall value proposition of this version of the album is worthy of the upgrade if you already have this album. If you don't have it yet, what are you waiting for? A must have in every metalhead's cd library.
Highly recommended!

I have been listening to this album since the moment I first heard it in 1986. Needless to say it's my favourite album out of the twenty thousand or so that I own. I hope that their 2008 album is a progression from St Anger. Hopefully Rick Rubin can bring the best out of them, he seems to have the Midas touch with most bands he works with.
This Japanese remaster trumps the DCC Gold remaster in my opinion.
Buy this now before it's deleted - I bought the entire catalogue of 2006 Japanese remasters and they're all worth it for both sonic purity and collectability (even St. Anger....)
Free Music Review: Awesome sound quality.

You would never know that this was an underground metal recording. Shame that it's out of print now, but there are...ways to obtain it for much cheaper.
