Negative Positive
Title: Certainly not their best, but worth listening to...
Review: While this album has its graces, this is where Metallica turned to mainstream rock rather than the fast-paced heavy metal that they were known for (again, I use the word "sell outs."). HOWEVER, this album gets a lot of flack for it being the "commercial album" when it is certainly not a bad album. In fact, this is their last good album. "Enter Sandman," "Nothing Else Matters," "Wherever I May Roam," and "Of Wolf And Man" (my favorite here) are excellent songs. All the other songs are either ok (like "Unforgiven") or just plain blah (I really disliked "Holier Than Thou" and "Sad But True"). In short, while it may sound closer to commercial rock than to heavy metal, give it a listen and you'll find some good music here. So what if it's not Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets?
Is the review positive or negative?
