Metallica is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. Released on August 12, 1991, by Elektra Records, it is commonly referred to as The Black Album because of its packaging design. Its recording took place at One on One Studios in Los Angeles over an eight-month span that frequently found Metallica at odds with their new producer Bob Rock. The album marked a change in the band's music from the thrash metal style of their previous four albums to a slower, heavier, and more refined sound. ———————————— A1 Enter Sandman 5:29 A2 Sad But True 5:24 A3 Holier Than Thou 3:47 B1 The Unforgiven 6:26 B2 Wherever I May Roam 6:42 B3 Don't Tread On Me 3:59 C1 Through The Never 4:01 C2 Nothing Else Matters 6:29 C3 Of Wolf And Man 4:16 D1 The God That Failed 5:05 D2 My Friend Of Misery 6:47 D3 The Struggle Within 3:51 ———————————— Metallica's self titled album is quite different to their others in the sense that it diverges away from their usual thrash metal to more of a heavy metal sound, and if I'm honest I may not have listened to it otherwise but I'm very glad I did! This album's vertigo pressing sounds simply spectacular in it's mastering and is an easy pick for anyone looking for an album. The songs 'enter sandman' and 'sad but true' are both iconic and it's easy to see why, this album is a perfect harmony of rock and metal and I can't help but sing along.
