Good Points
The long awaited album from the heaviest band on the planet. Metallica.
Bad Points
Hard to get into, really have to listen to music a few times to understand.
General Comments
Metallica bring us yet another stunning album, with more shocks than expected. At first play you will notice that there are no solos or melody what so ever. Those looking forward to another black album will be knocked back in dispare. However its an album of many hidden dethps. Complex sound layering and structure will mislead you at first, but after a few plays the music will reveal its sectrets. be open minded when listening and let the album bloom in your mind, feel the music as a world and not sound. When you learn to accept it will it show you its splender.
A great album, comes with lyric book and DVD, plus the music top notch, value for money. a hard raw sound to create sound thrash riffs. A master piece
