When I think of the black album I think "Ruff to never-never land!". That, to me, is James Hetfield jumping the shark.
I find And Justice for All listenable, but not up to MoP standards.
yeah but Enter Sandman is an all time classic.
MoP was easily their best album they have put out. I have to agree.
1) MoP
2)...and Justice for All
3) Black Album

"ruff"...lol. I know what you mean, but it's not that bad when you hear it in the context of the whole song. Enter Sandman was the first released song off TBA and it was played non-stop on the radio at the time. I had to turn it off at times it was getting so over-played and annoying.
Metallica, as a band, pretty much "jumped the shark" ten years ago.
