Either way you look at it, it is one hell of a record and one of my favorite albums of all time. This album is #255 on Rolling Stone magazines top 500 albums of all time. This album debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 and spent (and this is NOT a typo)�..328 weeks on the Billboard 200 charts. The numbers are staggering. This album also went 16x Platinum. It had 5 Top ten Singles, "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", Nothing Else matters", "Wherever I May Roam" and "Sad But True".
This album made a lot of diehard Metallica fans very angry as it alienated and diluted much of the bands "Thrash Rock" sound that their fans were so loyal to. But it also enamored millions of new fans because of its "radio friendly" more metal style. I have to admit this is my favorite Metallica album for sure.
So Ladies and Germs, on the turn table for your lunch time, from the San Francisco Bay area, released on August 12, 1991 on Elektra and produced by non-other than Bob Rock, the monster that is known as Metallica "The Black Album"
