I used to really like it, but then the production really started to get on my nerves and I got bored of it, the songs are really too long and repetitive - though technically very impressive.

Really the only songs I actually [I]like[/I] on it are One, TLITD and Dyers Eve.
Listening to it now as it happens...

^I agree with you Burdcheese. I get lots of earbleeding from Justice albums' guitars and Black albums' drums.

Plus, I don't like this album because it's like they wanted to show how fast they can play. They didn't care about the songs IMO, they cared about their length and speed.

Technically yes, they are impressive. But only drums I'd say. Rhythm guitars are no better than in first 3 albums and leads are even worse. Songs with nice solos were only Blackened, Eye Of Beholder and One. The rest was just Kirk messing with his wah. Second solo in To Live Is To Die was also good but it was James' work as far as I know.

And bass parts............wait, I can't hear bass :thumb:

I'm afraid I'm not one who notices bass - I tend not to hear it at all and when I do I think its a guitar :(

But as a wiser man that me once said - you'd miss it if it were removed.
But if there basically isn't any in the first place (because of the mix on AJFA) then that doesn't really apply

I can't disagree :smoke:

What? There was bass on AJFA? could've fooled me...

The list:
1: Blackened
2: One
3: Dyer's Eve
4: Eye of the Beholder
5: Harvester of Sorrow
6: ...And Justice For All
7: To Live Is To Die
8: Shortest Straw
9: Frayed Ends of Sanity

That list was just off the top of my head, it'd probably be different if you asked me again...
AJFA was my favourite Metallica album, but now I'm starting to grow a little tired of it.

Having listened to it again, I think that 5-8 on my list are arbitrarily ordered.
Though AJFA (the song) is still bottom for sheer overlongness

and hurrah - thread made 10 000 posts without anyone noticing

Question regarding a metallica song
 

Hi, I was just wondering how difficult you would rate Sanatarium. Beginner, intermediate, experienced, insane ect. ???? I just need an objective opinion. Please don't bother with a wise-*** reply. :smoke:

[QUOTE=Zaber]Hi, I was just wondering how difficult you would rate Sanatarium. Beginner, intermediate, experienced, insane ect. ???? I just need an objective opinion. Please don't bother with a wise-*** reply. :smoke:[/QUOTE]


it is fairly simple

it was the first song i learned and i teach it to people who don't play

its a beginner :thumb:

it will also make you better

any other black album lists?

people under-rate the black album too much, its one of my favorite albums of all time.

no i think it gets what it puts out (heh put out)

its a good album, not amazing, not ****ty

just good

Now give me those lists

uhhhmmmm.........Black album??

1. Wherever I May Roam
2. Nothing Else Matters
3. Don't Tread On Me
4. the Unforgiven
5. Struggle Within (just for the solo)

All the rest in the album = $hit for me ! Sandman being the biggest one !

I reckon Black Album is too overrated. It's not that good of an album. IT's got some good songs but I wouldn't rate it as high and RTL.

[QUOTE=xtreme_skatah]I reckon Black Album is too overrated. It's not that good of an album. IT's got some good songs but I wouldn't rate it as high and RTL.[/QUOTE]

oh of course not. it has metallica's greatest hit ever but it's nowhere near as good as RTL or MOP

It's definately not a good album, RTL, MoP and KeA **** all over it.

i've started to get really bored of metallica, i really like megadeth... i just cant stand the same solo over and over and over... kirk hammet is really a horrible guitarist in my oppinion... satriani obviously put all his effort into vai and none into hammet..
BRING BACK MUSTAINE, HE IS OFF THE DRUGS...

I haven't read the whole thread but it seems that most of you don't seem to mention the "Reload" and "St. Anger" albums
The Reload album has got some great songs like The Memory Remains, Devils Dance and Prince Charming!
Well St. Anger isnt that great but i really like Dirty Window, sweet amber, some kind of monster and the unnamed feeling.
My fave songs are:
1.Harvester of Sorrow
2.Wherever i may roam
3.Master of Puppets
4.Battery
5.and Justice for All
6.One
7.Dyers eve
8.Holier than thou
9.I disappear
10.Lepper Messiah

I hadnt listend to it in a while but I think that "Shortest Straw" probably has one the coolest solos...and not just for Metallica but ever

Metallica sucks ballz homie g east coast PLAYAZ! Me and my homiez do crack ereyday biotch! HAHAHAH Fosizzle my nizzle!
