Yep. The Black album. I remember buying the cd and IIRC seeing Double Impact in the theatre. |

Pretty good year for rock and metal fans.
Van Halen got the Grammy for best hard rock album for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" and Guns & Roses' Use Your Illusion got nominated. AC/DC were on their Razor's Edge tour and Alice In Chains was in the mix. Hair bands were on the way out. |

Enter Sandman was banned from most G.I. bars in the R.O.K. before the summer was out. Too much damage every time it was played...

| Wasn't that the album cover Spinal Tap released because the original Sniff the Glove cover was considered too 'sexy'? |

| The black album was the one that got me to stop listening to metalica. Fortunately I discovered prog rock at that time so I had something to gravite to. |

May I recommend a Norwegian band called Magic Pie? http://www.magicpie.net/
Perhaps my favourite prog rock album this year. |

| not sure if I like the keyboards one magic pie's slightly mad. the rest was okay. have to give it a more of a listen to in the future. The keyboards in th first half of the song remind of Emerson off of ELP. |

An album that sold over 20 million copies in the US alone and was on a major label is not mainstream?
Regardless, pretty terrible album, guess they were really out of stolen Mustaine and Exodus riffs by then. |

Metallica jumped the shark with the black album.
Sure there were some good riffs and it had a big sound, but it just didn't ring true anymore.
They seemed to be grasping for something they weren't quite sure about.
I was a huge Metallica fan until this.
Enter Sandman is a steaming turd - stupid subject, childish lyrics that make me roll my eyes and groan. Ugh! |
