I didn't stop smiling the whole time, and teared up a little during The Call of Ktulu. The original S&M was a formative part of my teenage years. It remains my number 1 album of all time, even though other Metallica albums exist a bit further down the list, and other bands come before them. There's something about the emotion of classical music and the intensity and genius of Metallica... I don't know if I prefer S&M 1 or 2 more, but they're both tied for #1 as far as I'm concerned.
