Yes they are many parameters as ever. your age, what it reminds you...
I discovered Metallica in ‘91 with a friend of mine that copy me master /justice and the black album on different tapes. So I was playing them a lot in my walkman between others bands. I liked them all, the black album was more in the mood of the era, the beginning of the 90’s where everything was more “mtv” and “radio friendly” like.I am glad to have known the 90’s, that number of great records in just 2/3 years
, and personally I was into nirvana AND guns (something weird back then) thrash death and all that stuff … I start playing guitar because of Kurt and slash . i bought my first crybaby because of the black album and always use one until then
.
The solos in the black are well constructed (“unforgiven” and “struggle within” that pop in my head first). These are the last ones that are not improvised in 5 minutes.
What was considered “bad” in the 90’s is gold now. When you see that desert we have in rock music since 20+ years, wow.
