Metallica's Down Fall!

I have never had real contempt for a rock album, but I have to say that I can't stand this CD. In the 8O's Metallica were the great American thrash-metal band. The first time I saw slamdancing/moshpit outside of a small club, and in an arena, was at a Metallica concert in 1989. There is N0 thrash or speed on this album. I'm all for groups musically progressing, but come on, this was Metallica! If they hadn't had 4 heavy albums in the 80's this probably would have been washed away with all the other metal that disapeared when the alterna-rock boom happened in the early 9O's. I had to give it 2 stars because "Enter Sandman" is a great song, and "Sad But True" isn't too bad, but the rest is B0RING. This is all pretty much mid-tempo metal, and the lyrics aren't anything catchy or inspiring. And what's up with "Don't Tread 0n Me"? The "Here We Go Patriotism!" lyrics are like something a redneck country singer would have written, not the longhaired, anti-establishment, rebelious Metallica?! So yeah, it was the begining of the end for these guys right here. I don't often cast "sellout" stones, but in 1991 Metallica deserved it and have kept deserving it since. Buy the first 4 Metallica albums from the 8O's and stop there.
