I have not long been back from Download 2006 and after seeing Metallica on the Saturday night I thought I had died and gone to heaven as they were so amazing and had everyone watching, they were proberly the best band there and they played this whole album live, which hundreds of people I talked to there and many thousands of people all over the world believe this to be the best album of all time. Great rifts and awsum guitar solos make this a must own CD, no matter what the cost.
this is to many a landmark album in metallica,s career (as was the black album)this is tallica at their heaviest (during the 80s), every song on this cd has been played live, indeed in 2006 it was played in full as part of its 20th anniversary. from battery to damage inc there is no flaw, if you love HEAVY then you will love this, "lashing out the action, returning the reaction" .... dont be a disposable hero ... obey your master..... and buy !!!

Do you love metal? This CD is about as complete an album as you are likely to find anywhere. It has everything you want from a metal album, from rapid fire guitar solos to deep, powerful riffs to booming baselines. The lyrics superbly enhance the music and represent James Hetfield at his best. Most people know all about Metallica but for those who don't you can't and won't be disappointed in this compilation of hits. Every track is an 'A' side and this is not a cd where you will skip the odd track because it's not quite so good. At their recent gigs this album has featured heavily despite it's age and the massive range of newer stuff because it remains some of their best music. That also means, therefore, that it is some of the best stuff ever produced by anyone in the metal business. No matter how many times I have heard this cd I still could listen to it one more time. In conclusion if you only ever buy 1 metal cd in your life make it this one! It won't let you down. I'd recommend seeing them in concert as soon a s possible as well as they still play this and it's even better live! Enjoy!
If you like Metallica you cannot ignore this album, it will blow your mind, arguably the most consistently heavy album, and one of the best....it's in my top 10.:-)
This CD is worth everything i decided to buy it when i first so it. it was a cheap price and it was one of the Metallica CD's that i didnt own. so i decided to make a purchase on this amazing CD i love everything about it and i love every song on this CD everyone should own this CD
An excellent album bought for my husband for xmas. It is an old favourite that reminds him of his college days. It was a good price and well packaged received in excellent condition.
i used to own this album years ago on tape and from the first loved it. the older i'v got the more i still appreciate the music i was into in my youth and have tried to replace all my vinyl and tape collections on cd to preserve the originals i have. this happened to be an album i no longer had and it also happened to be at a very nice price that has allowed me to continue spending on cds.
One of Metallicas finests album i personally think, this album is fantastic throughout, i guess my favourite track would have to be sanitarium. If you like proper heavy metal buy this album!
