This album is an amazing album. Guitars sounded aggressive and really thrashy, this was definitely Lars's greatest drum album with songs like Blackened, Dyers Eve, One, etc. I give this a 4-star though because it really missed the bass. Metallica didn't get rid of the bass as you can kind of hear it in some songs like Dyers Eve, but they did Jason dirty with this album with almost completely muting his bass
