It's not a matter of objectivity (because neither one of us is objective), I like plenty of melodic, poppy metal albums. In comparison, The Black Album sucks. When I compare it to melodic rock/metal it sucks, when I compare it to other Metallica it sucks, and when I compare it to heavy metal in general it sucks.

That's how I determine quality.
Actually in this case the goal does, as all the great elements that you associated with Metallica are void from the album.

I am being objective, I stated earlier that I don't like the album, but that doesn't mean that I can't hear the quality of the album, which I think it has in abundance.

I can objectively see how it sucks, I can objectively see how it is good, I'm not going to pretend I know which one is correct. However, I can speak for myself. Metallica sucks.

So we can conclude then, that you don't like Metallica.

I speak from my point of view, and I think the quality of The Black Album is low. Your conclusion is way off, and is just another example of you missing the point of speaking for yourself. I love Metallica, and I still have their first four albums on heavy rotation.

At this point I can't tell if you're trolling or you're just pretentious.

..........and I can't tell if you're just being dumb or naive.

For the record, I think your point of view about the Black Album is way off as well.

Argumentative, because Metallica brings it out in me. Why shouldn't I be, they suck.

? I don't see anything wrong with how Forward responded. Besides from that, I completely agree with it.

I pretty much pretend anything after ...And Justice for All doesn't exist, just so I can keep Metallica in my good books. And to be honest, I'm afraid to listen to this one, especially after St. Anger.

Apart from the trolling and pretentious comments neither did I.
