Metallica, Metallica

I love their sound I like most of the albums.I love the black album as well as load and reload I like master puppets too. I like more albums them that though I guess you would say I'm a fan. I like the one and the I like turn the page a lot and Whiskey in a jar. Some people aren't crazy about the black album ,but I thought it was great with enter sandman and some others. The album that is really hard to find is Garage Inc, I have a friend that has it and I think it's a must have on it there's turn the page. I have to get my hands on the album I think it's one of their albums that was great. I would recommend listening to them if your not already a fan. I still listen to them I like metal and classic rock though. It's my kind of music ,but with what's on the radio these days people teens and people in their 30's are listening to this kind of music if it's not Metallica it's other bands that are rock or metal. It depends what you like. I would buy their albums for sure. I would keep on buying them.

well first value for money is good for me because i got it for free but its normal price is still good. Anyway getting to the point it's supposed to be one of the all time greatist rock/metal albums, and i clearly understand why

i like it a lot it's classic. The tracks are all different none are samey.

For me i thought thec best ones were:

enter sandman

nothing else matters

the unforgiven

holier than thou

& sad but true

but they are all good and its an album for all kinds of different tastes of music it;s not over-credited in anyway, pure genius and classic at this point if your on anything that you can order on or in town two words:

BUY IT!

Metallica is a superb album, deservedly acclaimed & the peak of Metallica's recording career

1. Enter Sandman: kicks off the album with one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time (it came to Kirk Hammett in the middle of the night when he was fooling around on an acoustic guitar). Top class wah-driven solo. Metallica's greatest ever song? 10/10.

2. Sad But True: VERY HEAVY song, it's rock music defined. Another great solo, and superb rhythm playing by James Hetfield. 10/10.

3. Holier Than Thou: another terrific heavy song, Hammett again providing a wah pedal solo to brilliant effect and vocals with aggression and focus fom Hetfield. Takes the album into classic status after only 3 tracks. Shortest song at 3:47. 9/10.

4. The Unforgiven: the greatest guitar solo OF ALL TIME. Has to be heard to be believed. Beautiful opening lick and great drumming from Lars Ulrich. 10/10.

5. Wherever I May Roam: marks new ground for Metallica, leaving behind the barriers of heavy metal and moving into the more-diverse hard rock genre, with a sprawling guitar solo. Slow build up to an amazing riff and then a slowed down verse, then another great outro solo from Hammett. 9/10

6. Don't Tread On Me: a cool song, contains a good riff and one of the album's best guitar solos. 9/10.

7. Through The Never: a decent song, not an all-time classic by the album's high standards but as a stand-alone track it's a great rock song, with good drums & lyrics. 7/10.

8. Nothing Else Matters: new territory for Metallica, the attempt to write a conventional rock ballad works superbly. A lyrical masterpiece, top-noch drumming and then a Hetfield solo that takes it into overdrive. One of rock music's finest moments. 10/10.

9. Of Wolf And Man: back to the heaviness of the first three songs. The guitars sound incredible, the solo is excellent (as usual) and a great chorus tops it all off. 9/10.

10. The God That Failed: opens with a cool bass line and twin guitar licks. Has a brilliant riff and vocal melody. The best part of the song, however, is Hammett's solo. 9/10.

11. My Friend Of Misery: another of the standout guitar solos, with a quiet build-up and another go on the wahwah pedal for Hammett. Good solid riff and a chance for Hetfield to show his improved vocals. 9/10.

12. The Struggle Within: the album closes with a metal throwback, a very heavy song with a fast riff and great backing vocals from Jason Newsted. And a superb solo of course. 9/10.

Possibly the best metallica cd, even possibly the best metal cd.

I make no claims to being an ardent Metallica fan, this being my one and only album by the band. I have heard parts of some of the others but this album is the one that impressed me!

I arrived home one summer's day to find my son and his mates sat out in the garden, MY stereo blasting out through the open windows but instead of chastising them, after turning the sound down a bit, I asked what the particular track was. I was surprised when they told me it was Metallica, I always considered them to be way too heavy for my tastes. The track in question was 'Nothing Else Matters.'

What a sensationally moving track. The lyrics could relate to anything in life that you choose it to be. As morbid as it may sound, this is the track I want played at my funeral! I heard it a few times more and when he took the CD home with him I just had to go out and buy the album.

Some of this album is quite heavy metal, but not so heavy it becomes an irritation. The tracks are very cleverly composed and brilliantly sung. I also love 'Enter Sandman' the build up to a great rocking number that makes you want to rock along with it! Then there's 'The Unforgiven', another moving, dramatic rock ballad.

I love every track on this album and I never tire of listening to it. It is best played loud, the impact it has on the day is tremendous, played while driving along in the car, it certainly keeps you awake! I think this is a marmite album, you either love it or hate it. Me? I love it!

Hardcore Metallica fans accuse this album of selling out however it is the opposite. The fans sold out. They complained when Metallica delivered an excellent album simply because it had slower and more catchy tunes and featured more in the radio. Their most commercially successful album and with good reason.

1. Enter Sandman (5:31) - Begins the album with the best song. Heavy catchy and all round great. 5/5

2. Sad But True (5:27) - Is a heavy tune with good rhythm. Another great song. 5/5

3. Holier Than Thou (3:47) - The quality comprimises a bit here, an average song. 3/5

4. The Unforgiven (6:27) - This is an excellent song which is a slower paced ballad. Very good. 5/5

5. Wherever I May Roam (6:44) - The quality continues with this road anthem. Great lyrics and tune. 5/5

6. Dont Tread On Me (4:00) - A faster paced war song about landmines. Another average song. 3/5

7. Through The Never (4:04) - This song is average and is not a standout at all. 3/5

8. Nothing Else Matters (6:28) - Another superb song like The Unforgiven, but slower and more emotional. 5/5

9. Of Wolf And Man (4:16) - A very catchy song with good lyrics. Very solid song. 4/5

10. The God That Failed (5:08) - Dedicated to James's mother. Is not a bad song. 4/5

11. My Friend Of Misery (6:49) - Good quality song, co-written by Jason. Nice bass intro. 4/5

12. The Struggle Within (3:53) - The final song of the album is only average, with a catchy tune. 3/5

Metallica is considered a classic and rightly so. It has everything a classic rock album should have from heavy riffing (sad but true, enter sandman) to ballads (nothing else matters) and plenty of guitar solo's too. Nothing Metallica have recorded since has come anywhere near this brilliance and no rock fan's CD collection is complete without it.

I am in love with this Metallica album, it has talent and it shows that hard work was involved in the making process.

One of their best albums. Me and my girlfriend's song, Nothing else matters. Awesome lyrics. Amazing songs. These guys are absolutely gifted.

This Metallica album is pure genuis. People who dislike it, its your loss. Amazing guitar work You wont hear a better album except for master of puppets, Anthrax's Spreading the disease or sound of white noise, or slayer's seasons...

buy it or live in metal sin. IRON MAIDEN!!!!!!!
