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.
