Since their inception in 1981, Metallica have gone from an underground heavy-metal band to one of the most successful acts in the world, with an intensely loyal if not rabid fanbase. Their relevance is undeniable as evidenced by their ability to sell out stadiums and arenas worldwide while continuing to sell millions of albums with each release -- a feat no other band in history has sustained…

                      "METALLICA (THE BLACK ALBUM)" (4 LP Vinyl @ 45 RPM ) [Limited Deluxe Edition]


This deluxe vinyl Package / Box Set features Four (4) Half Speed Mastered from the Original Analog Tapes, 180g Audiophile Vinyl Discs @ 45 RPM pressed at RTI in Stoughton with Universal 'Louder Faster Heavier' bellyband. "THE BLACK ALBUM" - Metallica's fifth studio album, adding to the band's commercial breakthrough.
"The first few bars of the opening cut, "Enter Sandman," tell the tale. The song begins with the fade-in of a chugging guitar riff. As the riff rises to full volume, ushering in the rhythm section, an entirely different guitar texture, sounding like a phased, finger-picked, electric twelve-string, comes in under and behind the primary riff. All this subtlety draws the listener in, focusing attention. When Drummer Lars Ulrich enters, the whack of his first snaredrum accent seems to jump right out of the record and into the middle of the room. By the time you're half a minute into "Metallica," musicianship, arrangements and engineering are working hand in hand to define the parameters of a sonic space that the entire disc will claim as its field of interaction.

In stylistic terms, "Metallic" is about diversity, "Justice," and to a lesser extent the 1986 breakthrough album "Master of Puppets," connected one song to another with related themes and riff structures; these were unified works, almost thrash-metal concept albums. Each of the twelve songs on "Metallica" stands on its own. The multipart musical structures that paced the much longer compositions on "Justice" haven't been abandoned, but the forms have been telescoped into songs in the four-to-six minute range. Whenever a passing musical moment reaches out and grabs you, it's a pretty safe bet that you won't be hearing it again until the next time you play the album.

Several songs on "Metallica" seem destined to become hard-rock classics. "Wherever I May Roam" blossoms from a sitarlike opening into a stomping but lyrical power-chord rocker, with Jason Newsted's chordal bass voiced with the guitars to provide that unmistakable Metallica crunch. When Hetfield sings, "My body lie, but still I roam." he echoes, perhaps unconsciously, one of bluesman Robert Johnson's most indelible images. Structurally diverse but containing a transcendently melancholy and melodic chorus, the song sounds like an anthem in the making, but an anthem kept to a human scale. "The Unforgiven," "My Friend of Misery" and "Sad but True" seem likely to have a comparable staying power. And Metallica doesn't neglect the head bangers, the group's original constituency. "Through the Never," "Of Wolf and Man," and "The Struggle Within" are hard-edged and hard driving, and even the prettiest songs forgo any hint of radio-ready sweetening."

"Essential album + amazing sound = Decisions don't come any easier. These 180-gram 45rpm LPs take their place as the best-sounding classic metal albums around and will cause even the most (justifiably) jaded fan to forgive the band for its mainstream ways during the better part of the past 18 years. Yes, these pressings are that good." – Playback, June 2008
"…even listeners that know these platters back-to-front are in for a shock not dissimilar to the surprise they received when the Bay Area group went soft in the 90s. Only, unlike the latter, this transformation is welcome. Instrumental detail, body, and presence are  jaw-droppingly grand. Soundstage dimensions are super-quiet. And the previously inhibiting compression has been lifted."  – Bob Gendron, The Absolute Sound, August 2008
