Description: |
Metallica got killed by their own sucess on this album. What would have been a stellar, multi-platinum debut by any other band turned into the "Bad Seed" (sorry) out of the Metallica collection. If you put your prejudice aside, you'll hear a good album. |

When people use the term "sellout", they are most likely reffering to this album and its cousin "Load". Even through all the criticism, Metallica has supported this album through and through. Why? Because its a great album. In fact, from a musical standpoint, its better than anything they ever did before. Guitar harmonies? Slide solos? Acoustic guitars? Complex song structure? These words usually never appear in a metallica review. Instead, you read something like "In your face metal blitz!!!!" or "Explosive onslaught of guitar fury!". This album has none of that, and its a shame, because millions of hardcore metal heads have nothing to bang to, but a new generation of discerning listeners has picked up on this new style and accepted it. Sell outs? You make the call, I don't think past albums should be criteria for rating new ones. |
