My comments were not for me personally. It's just my take on it as someone who was there from the beginning. Personally, this cassette probably didn't leave my car stereo for a whole summer. I still will take any 80's album over this one but it's a Classic no doubt.

I picked up on Met with the Puppets album, saw the Justice tour, but when this drop, I may have been the odd guy out; I loved the album and still do. Pass by the hits and dig deep and there is huge gems in here (Holier, Wolf, Failed, etc). A masterpiece for a reason.

I doubt for a second they were pissed. Now their loyal fans from the 80's, they were pissed!

Fall of 1991 "Enter Sandman" was played twice every hour on Top 40 radio!!! It must have pissed them off (top 40)!!!! 25 year anniversary of the Black Album next year 2016!!!!!!! That extra push exposed Metallica to a broader audience!!!!!
