Agreed. I love the whole thing. It's an incredible hard rock album.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah the load albums have grown on me with time and this one particularly is not a bad or avg album at all. You just gotta accept it's almost a completely different band. The Pantera (groove metal in general) and Alice in chains (grunge IG) influence was everywhere so I can understand how that ubiquitous tinge was repellent to many people but this is actually decent

Honestly this is still very much Metallica to me. It's a progression from some elements of the black album, I find it pretty smooth even if it crosses the metalheads' threshold I suppose. For me the fracture (I mean some kind of division between "old" and "new") in the discography comes with St Anger, and even then it's mostly a quality issue

Excellent album honestly and much better than their last
