Metallica do a Spinal Tap and release an album that’s totally black (Just don’t ask any of the band about it). And it’s a fantastic album, while not quiet as varied as Load and not the out and out thrash of Master of Puppets it’s right up there as one of Metallica’s best. There’s Enter Sandman with the classic grunt along chorus, the speedy Holier Than Thou and the metal classic The Unforgiven. There’s also the God That Failed, a song about the death of James’ mother. A long cry from the naïve lyrics on Kill ‘em All.
It would be impossible to review this album without mentioning Jason’s bass playing on My Friend of Misery. The intro is one of the finest bass riff’s I’ve ever heard. Not all is as great though, Don’t Tread On Me is, in my opinion, quiet a boring song that will become the first track you start skipping on a regular basis. It’s not a bad song, just not a great one like the rest of the album. Overall Metallica have produced another album that’s a must have for fans of rock/metal.

Advantages: Great new direction for metallica, improved sound and depth to their music Disadvantages: I dont think there is any? Album could have ended on a long one like some of their others cos to me "Outlaw Torn" and "Fixxer" are good long ways to end an album :)
