Review: There is no doubt that Metallica have set high standards. It is in many
people's opinions, very Difficult to beat Master of Puppets. Sadly, this album hasn't, it isn't
nearly as close as it should be. The guitarring has definitely got that difficulty that we expect
from the boys, but all in all I don't think the songs are THAT great. Nevertheless the album
is still good. Stand out tracks are "Fuel" a typical Metallica Speed song, "The
Unforgiven 2" A slow metal, melodic tune.
Other Features: The CD booklet is nice. There are a lot of pictures and a few
lyrics, it is colourful and attractive. The album lasts an impressive 76:06. Excellent for a
metal album.
