1991
Nirvana releases Nevermind Pearl Jam releases Ten U2 releases Achtung Baby Guns N Roses releases Use Your Illusion I & II Metallica releases Metallica (Black) To think that all these albums were released in one year, and this is just the tip of the iceberg, and then compare it to the crap that is coming out today makes me wonder if rock is just spiraling out of control towards becoming complete garbage. Or was '91 just a really good year? [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] |

Now that's a year. |

I'm not a Metal or Metallica fan, but every person I know who fits that definition can't stand The Black Album relative to their earlier work.

As a rock album I feel the black album does a very good job of doing what it wants to, it appeals to a large audience and sells many millions of copies. It has several very catchy songs and a band who is willings to tour nonstop to promote it. As a metal album it fails miserably, it doesn't break any new ground or have any interesting riffs. Its very boring and unthreatening throughout, lacking any of the emotion/energy that drove earlier Metallica work. |

Don't Tread on Me? Groundbreaking? The entire album was groundbreaking, basically the first metal group to release a cd with a polished sound like this. And they stuck themselves out by putting a song like nothing else matters on it. So let me guess you're one of those "self-proclaimed" metal experts who only enjoys those great metal bands of today who only know how to play two power chords and scream over the top of it? Slipknot fan maybe? |
