The Black Album is a great album. Sure it's not Thrash Metal but still a great album. Enter Sandman, The God That Failed, Of Wolf And Man, The Struggle Within. So many good songs.

those songs were made to be catchy instead of metal. that's lame to me..

Hmm, maybe. It was probably Bob Rock that made Metallica go into the catchy territory though.

i agree. however the level of song writing ability for albums like master of puppets are higher than for the black album.. from a musicians stand-point i think a 15 year old kid could write the black album..

^ Yeah true. I honestly think the songwriting on Load and Reload was brilliant. Master Of Puppets as well.

I wouldn`t actually make any comparison to Journey or Foreigner here sound wise. Firstly, Journey are far too refined and Foreigner are like Journey but much rougher around the edges. I can see where you`re coming from with the "Black Album" though, as Metallica were really trying to capture the type of audience that would not really buy a metal record and they were looking to get the type of audience that would go out and buy a Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi, U2 or Dire Straits record and also the type of people that would`ve have bought Journey and Foreigner albums several years earlier. The "Black Album" was a beefed up muscle sounding record for non-metalhead, but had enough metal elements to keep the metal brigade happy as well. It was actually a great marketing ploy.

Yeah, no wonder it sold well. It was still Metal, but it fit all audiences.

i really don't find The Black Album that different from the preceding album besides the production values

i mean "Sad But True" is basically a reworking of "Blackened"
