Beginning or end?

The "Black Album" like "Metallica" is often referred to was certainly the most successful METALLICA album and many consider it the best, while others consider it again for one of the worse thing is up to the position of the viewer.
The melodic, powerful but not too hard mainstream Metal play like the METALLICA here certainly not be bad, I can make friends really am so not because I know METALLICA as fast, hard Speed ​​/ Thrash band and love learned. With the sound of "Kill 'em All" to "Master of Puppets" However, this album does not have much in common. Instead of angry shouts "right" there to hear singing, instead of crashing riffs at lightning speed rather midtempo-oriented Metal. I think from this album is split the METALLICA fan bearings into two halves. There are the old fans who can not understand that the band has suddenly become so soft (as compared to the early days), and the new METALLICA fans might know only since this disc. I personally find the plate audibly but chanchenlos compared to the first discs. If you like melodic, well-produced metal is not too heavy is you're right here, you should however on neckbreaker riffs are you should stick to the first three albums.
