I was a huge Metallica fanboy when I was growing up. Not so much now.

They did a lot for metal, and I'm grateful for that, but I'm more into black, NWOTHM, and atmospheric metal

But the whole album isn't bad at all. Overplayed, yes. Their best? Nope. Bad? Also nope.

Sad But True, Holier Than Thou, Wherever I May Roam, Through The Never, Of Wolf And Man, and My Friend of Misery are all excellent tracks.

    I’ve noticed there’s a genx millennial divide on whether the black album is good or not

    From my perspective it seems to be metal vs non metal fans. Im not a heavy metal fan and like it but I had a friend who was big into metal and thought it was a sellout album. Basically he felt it was not metal enough. Like pop metal. This was around the time also when my fav band jethro tull was given heavy metal band of the year (which even fans like myself can point to the bands influence on things like metal but certainly don't see them as a metal band) so he was pretty pissed music wise.
