Into the Painted Grey is probably the best BM track they've done.


Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

The production really is kind of a drag for me. The drums sound so duh at times.

I'd put Dead Winter Days, As Embers Dress the Sky, Not Unlike the Waves, and the She Painted Fire Across the Sky trilogy ahead of Into the Painted Grey in terms of their "black metal" songs.

From Which of This Oak demo was straight up BM for the most part. Not to mention the whole post-Bergatt thing going on in Pale Folklore.

I'm probably the only one who thinks The Watcher's Monolith is the best song on Marrow.

Metallica has once again proven that they can succeed at anything. This time, the radical shift in sound is due to an unlikely collaboration with legendary songwriter Lou Reed. Lulu chronicles the harsh realities of prostitution and the effect it has on the whore as well as those she encounters. Spanning the length of two discs, Lulu sees the relative aspects of love and morality pondered amidst a backdrop of heavy-hitting riffs. Topics including vulnerability and heartbreak are juxtaposed with harrowing depictions of violence and ugliness resulting in a profusely emotional listening experience.rMetallica provides not only their trademark metallic flourishes, but also experiments with more atmospheric compositions (as can be heard on "Cheat On Me"); adding new layers of depth to their already impressive repertoire. Reed pulls his weight by delivering the lines of his poetry with a unique conviction seldom heard in modern music. Never one to shy away from controversy, Reed also shines with his many thought provoking metaphors such as when he equates the force of a flesh-penetrating blade to that of a colored man's dick. Together, these two artists have combined to create a challenging recording which will no doubt be making an appearance on many year-end lists.

I'd put Into the Painted Grey as the third best track on Marrow.
