Customer Reviews
Not Classic Metallica
Two things are missing that make this a classic Metallica album. One major element is the absence of classical musical influence. Second is James' vocal style, back in the day James sounded hostile and angry but now he sounds like he's smiling when he sings. The lack of those two elements make this record a sub-par Metallica Album.
