Metallica - Metallica [1991]
It seems that many Metallica “fans” seem to enjoy putting this album down, for some reason. They claim that, with this album, Metallica lost their edge and sold out. Listening to this album, I’m wondering if we heard the same one. This album may not be quite as epic or technical as previous releases, but it’s every bit as thrashy, heavy, and good. This album was my introduction to Metallica a few years back, and I’ve never stopped loving it. The songs are full of crunch and vitriol, and the two ballads (”Unforgiven”, “Nothing Else Matters”) are very emotional and melodic. There are still a lot of great solos, and Lars still dishes out some pretty impressive drumwork (especially on “The Struggle Within”). The production quality is excellent (probably the best of all their albums), so every instrument is distinct and hard-hitting. There are no bad songs, but if you want to hear a great one, check out “The Unforgiven”.
