Perhaps the definitve METALLICA release. Metallica's 5th, released in 1991, it's over an hour of crunching, riff heavy sonic terrorism combined with lyrical wizardry! Featuring the strong tracklisting, highlights include: Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, The Unforgiven, Wherever I May Roam and Sad But True. Serious riffs provide punch and punctuation for James Hetfield's gruff vocals which rage against society and religion, and revel in suspicion and sarcasm. METALLICA is full of songs just as potent as the hugely popular 'Enter Sandman,' yet is not as complicated as their recent albums have seemed. 'Sad But True,' which is just as low down and dirty as anything labeled 'grunge,' exemplifies the poise of the metal band that can foresee the punchlines to their riffs and has the patience to wait for them. No Metal/Hard Rock collection is complete without this amazing record.
