Rated 6/10
It's hard to be objective about an album that's been in the background of half my life. 'Enter Sandman' is a stadium-shaking opener that everyone knows, and 'Nothing Else Matters' is just gorgeous: a heartfelt ballad from the Prince of Darkness himself.
The production is clean and punchy. While it got me through mowing the grass, at over an hour, the heavy middle gets a bit samey and shouty, and that aspect of metal still isn't really my thing. I can respect it without wanting to live in it. 3 stars.
