Big fans of both, I don't care for anything post Justice as far as metal goes but there are a few songs from Black and Load I like.....
Dave was clearly a better singer than Hetfield who couldn't even sing properly till the black album. Dave was also light years better shredding than Hammett.Metallica
Dave is a talented song writer / composer but his vocals held the band back big time. If he would have put his ego aside and hired a lead singer, they would be way more popular.
I gotta disagree with this. It was big let down for metal heads. It was a sell out album. Their first four albums are far superior.The Black album is one of the greatest albums of all time IMO. It's a masterpiece.
I never really bought into the whole "sell out" angle from fans when it comes to music. Artists are meant to change and evolve. To experiment and get out of their comfort zone. If they didn't, fans would still complain that everything they do sounds the same. The Black Album may have sounded different than their previous work, but it doesn't take away from it's brilliance. It's a damn good album from start to finish.I gotta disagree with this. It was big let down for metal heads. It was a sell out album. Their first four albums are far superior.
Contrary to my username. Gotta give the nod to Metallica.
That being said Rust In Peace is my favorite album released by either band.

I agree. The affectations he uses work well for Peace Sells, Sweating Bullets, Angry Again, and Symphony of Destruction , but it gets old.Metallica
