I was disappointed the first time I heard this, as were other people I knew. This is also the point at which people starting accusing Metallica of selling-out. Metallica countered by saying that it was the mainstream that was moving towards Metallica, and not vice-versa. This is true -- but Metallica were more than happy to accomodate them. I still remember being in a bookstore at the magazine rack looking at the cover of a magazine featuring Metallica and Guns 'N' Roses (whom they were on tour with at the time), and some girl coming up to me and striking up a conversation about how Metallica had sold out.But anyway, this review is of the album, not the band itself. There are some tracks on here that I thought were okay, but nothing fantastic. If you're new to Metallica, I recommend "Master Of Puppets" or "Ride The Lightning", two classics. I have to add though: does anyone else find it ironic that a band that supposedly hates being labeled chose to name themselves METALlica?
