It's more mature musically than Kill 'em all, and Ride the Lightning and it _really_ makes me wonder what And Justice for all would have sounded like with Cliffs input. Sadly, what could have been. So in answer, I feel the black album has better production value. It's an extremely refined album. Heavy, yes. But not thrash metal like it's predecessors.

I remember reading Guitar World in disappointment in 1992 where Lars was interviewed during the Black Album Tour, saying he now preferred bouncier, simpler, Phil Rudd style of drumming and was no longer going to be playing complex time changes, just playing in 4/4 most of the time. I blamed Bob Rock too but Lars just...sucks. AndJusticeForAll was their last real album where they were still unique and true to themselves.

Metallica should be proud of this. Great sound and mix☺
frayed ends of sanity could sound pretty cool
Needs a little more 90’s reverb on the intro acoustic lead, but other than that, 100% perfect
Is differently awesome! The rhythm is unique but still sounds like Battery, the harmony in the bridge is so cool. And the solo!! Is awesome, the slowed down tempo fits great! The only complain I got is that, in *my* opinion, Master of Puppets and Ride The Lighting vocals are really high and sharp to be equalized to the Black Album. I maintain that live vocals would fit if they could be isolated from the Live Sh*t: Binge & Purge.

This one was actually probably the best of your videos.
Ok , I'm subbing. Creeping death and master were excellent and now you come back again so quickly with another great video.
Clever - deleting and inserting an 8th note! The main riff’s off beat is changed to on the beat, but the --4 --6 0-0- at the end is preserved. This threw me off at first since I expected everything to be shifted. But I think it makes it way catchier. Awesome job!!
came for the laughs, stayed because... this is actually pretty awesome!
These are so spot on! I can only imagine how much work goes into them. What software do you use for the drums?
You're so in tune with the source material. Not only do you nail the tone but friggin compositions. Of all other channels that attempt the same fall short on both fronts. If you uploaded an orginal song (on a different channel) in the style of Metallica from any given album and marketed it as one of their long lost unreleased tracks, I'd totally fall for that shit.

Oh my God this sounds awesome. Are these redone versions of the older tracks available on ITunes? I'd buy them all because I've always wanted an updated playlist of Metallica's older tracks - which are obviously awesome but sound a little lacking in power due to the old technology, mixing, instruments etc - this sounds so good and I want mp3s. Ps gives us a Fade to Black remix if you haven't already done one - I'd love to hear a newer outro solo of that song. I always watch the "Cunning Stunts" version because that sounds so much better than the CD.
