 ALBUM CREDITS

 

This is just a spectacular album. Out of all Metallica albums, it is the one with the highest sales for a good reason. Though you could easily argue that Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets is the best Metallica Album, most people would agree that this is their best. When an album contains great songs such as "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "Sad But True", and "Nothing Else Matters", its hard to argue. The truth is that there is not one bad song on this album. A must have for any Metallica fan!

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.
