        Don't buy it unless you can get it used.  It's not that it's bad
        - it's just that, owning both of their CDs, I haven't listened
        to them more than a few times.  The novelty wears off really
        quickly.

        You also learn two things about Metallica very quickly:

        1) Indeed, their older stuff DOES rock more (Master of Puppets
        is the standout, imo).

        2) Rock music really is PRIMITIVE when compared to good classic
        music.  Riffs that I thought were tough to play - "One," say -
        really are nothing compared to what those guys really do for a
        living.  If you slap on the Bach Cello suites after listning to
        this, you'll get quite a chuckle.
