Hit: 2 Stars
Metallica was THE thrash metal act to beat back in the 80s, the only band that may have beat them as far as raw talent was fellow bay area thrashers Slayer - but Metallica always held the edge in fans.
But with the 90s came the end of the band's domination. That was marked clearly with the release of "The Black Album."
Who doesn't remember the breakneck pace and lyrical genius of Master of Puppets? Or the slower paced, but even more powerful ...And Justice For All? The Black album was a huge leap backwards for the band in songwriting.
Where Puppets and Justice dealt with mature and thought-provoking issues including drug abuse, religion, and injustice, "Black" has Hetfield on about issues like putting your kids to bed, being a wolf and science and technology. Huh? The only two songs on this entire thing I could listen to without cringing were "Sad But True" and "Holier Than Thou." The latter is the closest we would ever see Metallica come back to their thrash metal roots.
The rest of the album is simply a travesty. Lyrics are laugh-out-loud absurd. The guitar riffs have no real power behind the overpowered bass in them. Drums are too loud and have that annoying echo effect everyone and their mother were so fond of in the 80s. And Kirk mangles every solo because he's standing on a waah pedal.
I can't recommend you steer clear of buying this thing enough. For the sake of music itself, save your money for an older Metallica CD. Or better yet a Slayer one. Metallica was finished long before St. Anger. This is the proof.
Free Music Review: "Black Album" Review
Hit: 5 Stars
I was so excited when this finally arrived in the mail. I'm a big fan of Metallica and always wanted their "epic" Black Album. I look forward to adding more Metallica to my collection and I think they are incredible. I love this CD. It is intense and awesome from start to finish. It is Metallica in their prime. The riffs and songs are amazing. Since I purchased their 1991 Black Album, I have listened to it everyday. I can't get enough and it has become one of my favorite Rock albums in my collection. I recommend this album to any true rock/metal fan. It is an instant classic. Songs like "Wherever I May Roam", "Sad But True", "The God That Failed", and "Enter Sandman" are among my favorite tracks. I had heard a lot about this album over the years and now I see what all the talk was about. This album represented a change for Metallica. They hooked up with producer Bob Rock and altered their sound. I could see how die-hard Metallica traditional fans would hate this album. The guys of Metallica definitely slowed down their playing on this album and I feel that it was a great change. When this 1991 album came out and sold over 10 million copies, Metallica ruled the world. Every single song on the Black Album is incredible. I pretty much wore this album out when I first got it and I will probably continue to do so. Free Music Review: The Greatest Album of All Time, Hands Down
Hit: 5 Stars
Without a doubt the greatest album of all time, no matter what music type or time frame we're talkin about here. It took some thought to come to this conclusion though. The only album in my opinion to give The Black Album competition in this discussion is GNR's Appetite For Destruction, which still wasn't as influential or timeless as this flat-out masterpiece. With the release of The Black Album, Metallica recreated music as we know it. Their dominance is unmatched to this day...very few bands have ever even touched the level of mastery that the kings of rock/metal have CONSISTENTLY maintained for 25 years counting. I'll repeat that...25 years at the top. Unbelievable. GNR had it for 5 years max. Its difficult to grasp this feat considering the different eras of music Metallica has steam-rolled through. Grunge? Glam Rock? Those are forgotten. You get my point. Bow down to the kings- there's no need for me to go through all the songs and explain their greatness. You know them already.
