Review: Metal-Observer (5/10)
It doesnt matter your position about this theme, but the release of the famous black album in the early 90s was a big event in Heavy Metals history. The legendary METALLICA, the colossal Thrash monster that had already composed four masterpieces until that moment, surprised the world with a radical change, writing a disc that not only was much softer and ultra melodic, but also adopting modern sounds and even daring beyond the frontiers of Metal. It was a really controversial ~love~ and even although most die-hards fans of their older times felt betrayed by METALLICA, the band hooked an important different public and so the black album became an extraordinary commercial success.Its clear that we cant blame for this change the tragic loss of Cliff Burton years before, because they demonstrated with And Justice For All that they could still thrash as deities without him, but the self-titled METALLICAs marks a spot in which the band creates an absolutely new identity, more commercial and that, as we all know, would turn into a musical disaster years later. This re-born was something so shocking, so different from the previous era, that is even difficult to think of METALLICA pre and post 1990 as the same concept.
Ok, enough political correctness as Im not a ~censored~ journalist, so lets go to the bone now the black album was an insult, one of the greatest bands in Rocks history selling their souls to the mainstream. Metallica is basically an easy-listening experiment based in catchy melodies, simple riffs and a computer-made organization of (pathetically overexposed) power ballads, heavy songs and a crystal clean production, leaving behind any remain of the unleashed creativity and aggressiveness of their legendary older albums. Every single song is radio friendly, mid tempo to slow and lyrics related to intelligent concepts that just piss me off.
Everything starts with Enter Sandman, which I would dare to say is the most overrated song ever made ok, its among the highlights of a mediocre album, with a catchy composition that traps you since the first listen, but its just difficult to understand how thousands and thousands of trendy kids claim that its the best METALLICA song ever I just would like to slap them in the face and send them to hear For Whom The Bell Tolls or Master Of Puppets for the first time in their worthless lives to understand what the ~censored~ is a strong piece of Metal well, I just stopped for a while in that song because its the clear example of what the black album is about: a hooker-disc that has interesting melodies and easily digestible songwriting, but not a single drop of major inspiration or bravery.
Metallica is a monument to human misery, the one that makes man to sacrifice a glorious past and throw away the burden of being a legend for some dirty bucks. The black album can be a jewel for the music business, but its at the same time a merciless rape to all those who have Metal as a way of life and cant stand to see the once gods becoming a cheap market massive product.
All hail METALICA, the god that failed.
