Your opinion it's not as unpopular as you think with time a lot of people have come to that conclusion. For example, I like this album but because I spend time learning to like it, at first I completely rejected it, like "Load" and "Reload" but I started to enjoy it after I took it like a new Metallica, getting my head out of the glorious first four records, that way I was able to see it as something else, but hey, this is just what I did, I respect everyone who feels that the "The Black Album" is a huge let down, because in many ways it is.

The best thing this record has for me it's that wall of sound, it's a brilliant production from Bob Rock, I think that helps me enjoy it a little more. Can you imagine "Ride The Lightning" with the production of this record? pfff, makes my head explode hahaha. Very good review, you earned yourself a new follower. Cheers!
