Yeah those albums would have done great as mainstream rock albums, if let's say Creed or someone similar had put them out.
Black album is a production dream, everything is crystal clear. They could have chugged on the E-string for the entire album and it would have still sold millions, it just sounds so good. By that i don't mean the songs suck tough, There are some good ones, but some are quite simple and nothing like puppets or justice. My favorite is Roam, great song!
Yeah, they are simple songs so to speak..."Of Wolf and Man" that's prob my favorite on that album...it's nothing special, I just like it...love the intro to "The God that Failed." Only song on that album I don't really really like "The Struggle Within" not a bad song, just my least favorite on that album.
Metallica is still a band I haven't seen live and would really like to. On the last tour when they came here, tickets sold out almost instantly so i couldn't get one. But 2 days before the show, one of the radio stations gave away 4 front row seats, and bk stage passes and limo ride to the show...all you had to do was call in and name the last 3 Ozzy songs they played...and what do you know, i got through. I named the 1st and 3rd song right off the bat and had a brain fart and couldn't remember the 2nd one...then it finally came to me and I shouted it out and the DJ said, "I don't know, I think that took you too long, sorry you loose" click...I've never been so pissed in my life. BTW, the song I brain farted on "Over the Mountain" heard it a bazillion times but couldn't get it out on the phone fast enough apparently.
