Metallica - ( black album )

It is known also as "the Black Album" , Metallica marks the group's entrance into the mainstream, with shorter songs, simpler song structures, and slower tempos overall. That said, this is an excellent album, featuring some of the best songwriting Metallica has ever done. "Enter Sandman," "Wherever I May Roam," and "God That Failed," despite being slower and more groove-oriented than the band's earlier work, feature the same heavy riffs and heavier rhythms that have always been a feature of Metallica's music.The songs are full of crunch and vitriol, and the two ballads ("Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters") are very emotional and melodic."The Unforgiven". This is one of the best ballads ever, with very emotional lyrics and a great vocal performance from James Hetfield.

Metallica's breakthrough album, the Black album. This is what put Metallica into the mainstream, and it is indeed a masterpeice. Every song on this on is a classic. The talent is all there. The production is crystal clear. Everything about this album is epic.Jason Newsted also gets a chance to prove himself on this one. As a bassist, I believe his bass lines on the slower songs to showcase his talent the most. He packs a lot of emotion, especially in Nothing Else Matters.The Black Album was still Metallica to most of us, and it wouldn't be until the release of the ever-strange "Load" album that fans would learn to appreciate Metallica's
