The band goes introspective with "Unforgiven" and proves that they can write a ballad with "Nothing Else Matters", which succeeds better than one might expect. --Sid Smith This link will take you offin a new window.
Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", Included in Q's "Best Metal Albums Of All Time" - "...Transformed them from cult metal heroes into global superstars....bringing a little refinement to their undoubted power...", "This record's diamond-tipped tuneage stripped the band's melancholy guitar excess down to melodic, radio-ready bullets and ballads.", "The album that propelled them out of the metal ghetto to true mainstream global rock superstardom.", Ranked #16 in Melody Maker's list of the top 30 albums of 1991 - "...In a committed move away from their thrash roots, METALLICA was slower, less complicated, and probably twice as heavy as anything they'd done before...", "...Rock's preeminent speed-metal cyclone...Metallica may have invented a new genre: progressive thrash..." - Rating: B+, 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Several songs...seem destined to become hard-rock classics....They effectively bridge the gap between commercial metal and the much harder thrash of Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth...", Highly Recommended - "...A burnished black gem...", Ranked #52 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s."

Additional Information
Metallica's sixth record, an incredible convergence of pop sensibilities and authentic metal fire, spawned many hits and dominated MTV.
For me the songs, particularly the lyrics are just amazingly good. Also this is Heavy Metal which can and does encompass softer songs as well. So an excellent choice for anyone coming from a more mainstream genre as well as just a great album for Heavy metal fans. If I'm right I believe this is like their most critically acclaimed album. It's easy to hear why! "Nothing else matters" and "Unforgiven" are my two favourite tracks. Kirk Hammetts vocals are just brilliantly suited to the job :)
