that was the last album i really liked from metallica. i remember when it came out, i was so excited. i was like 10 years old, but i taped it off the radio down in texas (back when they used to play whole albums on the radio before they came out - do they still do that??) and listened to it for a couple of months straight. i think a couple of months later, i got into nirvana, when i heard "nevermind" in the "college" section listening station.
