Thank you Sir.

It's my favorite Metallica Album Sir. lol

Ben this is a truly excellent review. This was my first time listening to this album and as per usual I read all of the other's before attempting my own. I stayed on this page as I listened through the album, using it as a listeners guide to follow the story, and it greatly enhanced my listening experience. Thank You.

Well said my friend. Well said.

Is there a specific track on this album that you would like me to go back to? If there is I will do a whole review just devoted to that track. Your own review indicates that the album declines in quality toward the end rather than improves. 

I've said this before-If I had my druthers I wouldn't review things that I have a low opinion of, because it's incredibly difficult for me to do so without venturing into negativity that borders on confrontation. The construction of the site however, currently dictates that I must. I respectfully request that you trust me to know my own preferences. As this site is clearly based around Heavy Metal music, I think it would be reasonable to assume that a lot of the members are not fans of modern pop, hip-hop, or radio country music, but we aren't insisting that they deep listen to the landmarks of those genres to "make sure", sometimes we just know. 

If you want these reviews to have a set form or structure. Then present a rubric and I will adhere to it. As of this time the only guidance in place is 

"Reviews do not have to be essays, but they must include personal views based on personal experience."

When I inquired with Dan about a format or rubric, he told me that a paragraph review would suffice, and I do have plans to go back and expand on my modern death metal reviews that are admittedly skimpy at this time. As it stands, I have provided a paragraph and it includes my personal views and experiences-the criteria have been satisfied.
