no. i'm not really a budding musician, and i haven't tried to play the black album. it's just an example to illustrate that metallica's interest in technical quality disappeared on that album.

i'll add an item to the list: primus, my name is mud. great thread idea btw.

wtf?? on justice? it had some of the BEST technical work they've done. take another look at "blackened" and "dyer's eve" for some of hetfield and hammet's best technical stuff. and even if you're not interested in technical stuff, you have to appreciate the composition of songs like "one" and "to live is to die." I dunno if I'd say it was better than puppets, but justice had a darker and more polished feel than puppets and definitely had a clearly defined direction, unlike load and beyond.
