The making and continued influence of Metallica’s commercial breakthrough (known simply as “the Black Album”) is entertainingly recounted in this must for Metallica fanatics, especially those who are interested in the recording of one of hard rock’s most sonically amazing albums. Drummer Lars Ulrich, singer James Hetfield, and producer Bob Rock take up the lion’s share of the interviews, and their reminiscences a decade after the fact include many juicy tidbits (like Ulrich and Rock loathing each other by the time the recording was finished, or that the final mix was almost ruined by a digital clicking sound on the master tape–luckily, a successful remastering was done). The Dolby 2.0 Stereo sound is appropriately pummeling, even if we are treated to mere excerpts from the songs, videos, and even some of the original demos. Classic Albums: Metallica adroitly summarizes a pivotal moment in hard rock history. –Kevin Filipski
