Album Description
Available in:
Metallica (también conocido como The Black Album por su portada), es el quinto disco de estudio de la agrupación Metallica. Fue el primer álbum de Metallica producido por Bob Rock, con canciones como "Enter Sandman", "Sad But True", "The Unforgiven", "Wherever I May Roam" y "Nothing Else Matters". Vendió más de 500.000 copias en su primera semana en EE. UU., siendo por tanto uno de los más vendidos de todo el heavy metal. En este álbum se adoptaron diversas innovaciones en las técnicas de la grabación de los instrumentos, especialmente en la batería, para aportar al sonido de las canciones una ambientación cercana al directo, con la perfección que aporta el estudio. Posteriormente este disco supondría la referencia sonora de muchas de las expectativas de nuevas bandas a la hora de intentar explicar el sonido que deseaban para sus grabaciones propias. En este álbum Kirk Hammett usó una guitarra Jackson Randy Rhoads, en memoria del desaparecido guitarrista de Quiet Riot y Ozzy Osbourne.
A diferencia del disco ...And Justice for All, en este álbum hay una notoria mejora de sonido en el bajo, el cual puede distinguirse perfectamente, principalmente por la importancia que Bob Rock dio a este instrumento.
Hasta el 3 de mayo de 2012 Metallica había vendido más de 15,9 millones de copias en Estados Unidos, siendo el álbum más vendido en el país, desde que Nielsen SoundScan comenzó a contabilizar las ventas en el año 1991. El corte "My Friend Of Misery" debutó en vivo en la gira Europea del 20 aniversario del Black Album.
User Album Review
Any attempt to move away from a tried and tested formula is often met with resistance by some fans who never want their idols to change. Smarter than your average heavy metal band, the more complex turn-on-a dime twists of their previous albums, Master Of Puppets and 1989’s And Justice For All, were trimmed back in favour of a more honed-down delivery.
Though the band didn’t always see eye to eye with Bob Rock (who had previously cut his teeth engineering for the likes of Bon Jovi before producing Motley Crue’s Dr.Feelgood), the tensions between the two camps resulted in an album bursting at the seams with alternative ideas.
Sure enough, accusations that they had sold out came from the rump of hardcore fans within seconds of their fifth album being released in 1991. Several years later thousands of fans signed an online petition calling on the band to sever its links with Bob Rock such was their conviction that their beloved Metallica had strayed from the straight and narrow.
Yet his involvement gained them mass sales (number one on both sides of the Atlantic) and earned them the Grammy they’d missed out on, having lost out to Jethro Tull’s Catfish Rising the previous year. With millions of new fans going on to discover their back catalogue, Metallica moved from cult metal gods to bona fide rock stars, straddling the airwaves with the psycho-dramatics of “Enter Sandman”, whose terse motifs served notice that things were changing.
The spaghetti western set dressing of “The Unforgiven”, “Nothing Else Matters” with its sensitive lyrics and string section embellishments, as well as the widescreen dynamics of “My Friend Of Misery” demonstrated how keen they were to move things on. In “The God That Failed”, vocalist, rhythm guitarist and principle writer, James Hetfield deals unflinchingly with parental loss and the contradictions of faith in a mature and considered manner.
The confidence exuding from almost every track isn’t due to a clichéd, puffed-up HM swagger but a result of literate and articulate artists breaking free of generic expectation.
