[@Gelatinous Cube] I admit that I started listening to them right when Barlow left the first time, but at the time, I did get a good amount of their songs downloaded, and boy oh boy did I fall in love with that guy's vocal range. Lord oh mighty, it's like the Gods blessed him. Absolutely love [i]Horror Show[/i] and [i]The Dark Saga.[/i] Definitely my favorite albums by them bar none.

I was sitting here thinking "what self-titled album?" - and then I remembered that's what they called what most refer to as  "The Black Album." And you're absolutely right. You can love it or nah, but no one can't deny that it is, to this day, one of [i]the[/i] greatest Heavy Metal and/or Hard Rock albums ever produced track by track. I personally love "Nothing Else Matters". Call me a simple man, but James with that acoustic guitar in the beginning is the most beautiful arrangement of any 1990s song I've heard. Enter The Sandman is another great one. I believe that was the first Metallica song I heard, if memory serves.
