will rock ever experience another 1991?
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. [/ QUOTE ] To contrast this, I don't know a metal or Metallica fan who doesn't list this as one of the greatest albums ever.

[ QUOTE ] The Black Album was pretty awful. [/ QUOTE ] I don't know how any fan of this music can possibly say that... [/ QUOTE ] That is a very ignorant statement to make. 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.
