Album of the Week: Metallica – "Metallica" (1991)
2009/12/03Track 4: The Unforgiven:
Also known as "The Black Album", Metallica's "Metallica" is THE Metallica album in my mind. Sure I've heard most of the others, but this is the one I go to first. Really I'm not much of a heavy metal fan compared to other genres, and without Metallica I wonder if I would've developed any taste for it at all. But how can you not love this album! When I am feeling that tinge of pissed, or perhaps some scorn for the world, or I just need to feel like I did back in the early 90s listening with my friends to feel bad ass even though we were anything but, this album is definitely a top pick for me. All you non-heavy metal fans should give it a try, you might just like it. Oh and when you do start to bang your head, don't stand too close to the wall. It hurts.
Here are my 5 favorites from the album, with "The Unforgiven" being my favorite (though I think "Enter Sandman" is a very close 2nd).
