This album is still absolutely great sounding to this day the guitar tone is heavy but yet clear sounding and not muddy unlike AJFA

This album is not just one of the best evrr made, it's one of the best enginered sonicly before modern technology, still analog, and the final result is a masterpice that no other band will ever match. It was a magic time that won't ever happen again. A true classic. What a time in music history. Nothing since has come close. What a monster!

This record took a year to record and cost a million dollars and it sounds like it lol. Back in 91 that was a nutty amount for any band, much less for a supposed "thrash" band when metal was out of favor. Lucky for Metallica, Bob Rock was a genius.

I wish “And Justice” had the same production as this album.

This is one of the best produced albums of all time. Bob Rock was perfect on this album. F**kin drums sound awesome. Album is produced and mixed perfect. Bad ass

That Entertainment Weekly quote is hilarious.

Bob and Metallica should reunite next time round

What a gem of a yt channel!

Still such an amazing sounding album, absolutely lush

I remember watching "a year and half of Metallica" pt 1 & 2 over and over as a kid. They were SO popular then.. great video 🤙😎 love these

Id love to see you do this with a Queensryche album!

“Now, where did the idea for a black album come from, Metallica representative?” 😜
—from “This Is Spinal Tap” (1984)

Pls do (Re)Load behind the scenes

This recording is sublime when listened to on a high-end hi-fi system and is still Metallica's best. They, like others, have now fallen short with the quality of their recordings, as 99.9% of users will listen to them in MP3 quality and with the headphones of their 50 cent smartphone.

This was where Bob Rock got the opportunity of His entire life!!!!!!!!

The height of Metallica's career along with the best era of analog production, before music devolved to "robo-perfect" like today's crap.

I learnt EVERY song on the Black Album word for word!!
IMO it's a masterpiece in its entirety along with Puppets & then Justice...🤔

Its a great sounding album.  I love the layered vocals.

Cool video.  Surprised so few likes (827) considering 24K views and all the positive comments.
