That was pretty neat

SUCH A VIBE

Watermelon Man is giving tropical jungle energy

Edit Mar 27 2026: 5 --> 4. I haven't played this album *as* much. Maybe if I play it more in the future I will bump it up more

Nice change from all the US and UK type stuff. More Africa and other region representation is needed!

I don't like the lyrics and popyness that much

I liked this one more than I thought I would. I liked the "have fun" attitude

It didn’t move me thaaat much. I could tell when the most streamed song came on that it was something that stood out more for radio..

Should have been Cowboys From Hell, but this has the great Pantera guitar tone too. Love that

I really like the production on this one. Great songs too. I love his voice

That was really good. Great atmosphere. I really liked the instrumentals. Sound and Vision I have loved for a while

That was really damn good. Great voice here too

Liked the riffs and sound better than Tres Hombres

My least favourite of Metallica’s first 5 albums because of the popyness. I don’t like how it’s slower tempo and I don’t like the vocals as much. Nevertheless great to have something heavier as that isn’t that common with the list. I quite like the opening to Sad But True

I got sorta bored. I like the synth in It's A Fire

I've seen them live! They are very good. The singer is the drummer, and wears a mask that has the microphone built in so he can do his drumming at the same time. The haters just don't understand this stuff

On Fire goes so hard. Everything goes so hard

I liked the 1st track the best (the title track The Healer). After that I wasn't really as in to it

I didn't really enjoy it that much. Jennifer was my favourite probably. Good to listen to for some history though

I like Speakerboxxx/The Love Below quite a bit more

This album gets heavy rotation around Christmas time. Fave parts are:
- When the tempo picks up when the singing starts in Sleigh Ride
- The spoken word thanks of the closing track

Not super crazy, but not super bad

Fave track is m.A.A.d. city cause of the synths and drum beat. I quite liked the experience of learning about and discovering this album. I have heard it mentioned many times. As for the actual content, I didn’t enjoy it *that* much
