Its an OK album but its a shame it was RECORDED DIGITALLY. (It doesnt sound as good as it would IN ANALOGUE)

I have thier entire set from Woodstock 94 recorded FROM PPV that day (analogue cable) and they did alot of thier stuff from that album... (Hearing that stuff IN ANALOG is nice)

the only way people like you can tell the difference between analog and digital recording is by looking at the label. Neither is inherently good or bad, unlike The Black Album, which is objectively terrible.

Bull****. I think it's the nocebo effect at play here.

Not true. They crackle. The crackling is the difference between genius and mediocrity.

The Metallica hype was that big back then.
I did not know this. That is idiotic. Why would you pay to stand/sit with a bunch of metalheads and listen to metal. you can do that **** for free, man.
