Every single track on this album takes the power of the San Fancisco Symphony Orchestra, led by Michael Kamen(R.I.P), and puts it in a full throttle whirlwind of orchestra music and metal. Metallica does their job by playing everything flawlessly, and with an unmatched set of emotions and rock and roll. This is a must have album for every single music fan in the world. A staple in your collection.

The most inspring Metal album of ALL TIME. This album alone accounts for such a large portion of inspiration for all guitarists, at least in the rock genre. The musicianship is unbeatable and in depth, matched by the rough, real sounds of metal in its prime. If you don't already play, this album will make you start.
