I still lean “And Justice for All” but “Black” album is my #2. Then it’s “Master of Puppets” “Ride* the Lightning” then “Kill Em All” I never could get into anything after Black Album.

The Black Album was my first metal album I bought as a kid on cassette back in 92 when I was 11 (I know it came out in Aug 91). It'll always hold a special place for me. Been a Thrash and Death Metal fan ever since.I dig all genres of Metal but Thrash and Death Metal are my top 2 favorites. Gorefest - False is my favorite Death Metal album of all time and the album cover is my av. I also highly recommend Gorefest performance at Dynamo in 1993. The live album The Eindhoven Insanity is the greatest Death Metal live album of all time imo. Tremendous.🤘

The song “Sad But True” by Metallica deals with themes of addiction and betrayal. It’s about the struggle with one’s inner demons and how those struggles can control one’s life, much like an addiction. The lyrics suggest a presence that is always there, no matter what, which could be interpreted as the addiction itself. James Hetfield, Metallica’s lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, has been open about his own struggles with addiction, which adds a personal dimension to the song. The most recent estimates suggest that Metallica’s “Black Album” which this song is from has sold more than 48.5 million copies worldwide as of March 2023.

Tbf it was recorded analogue, so broadly speaking what was played is what was recorded. There's also not that much instrument distortion by modern standards, and the quality of speakers back then were comparatively bad so if it would play on something from the 80s it should play well on something modern. This is one of the few albums where Lars sounded good too :P

Anyone else raised on Metallica? Shit these guys had a huge impact on my life. Never had a father so many life lessons and hard times... Metallica raised me. Made connections in my brain with certain things. Especially the song "my friend of misery" and that era of metallica. And yes i had a addiction problem too. lol Kinda funny... Grew up on Eminem and Metallica. No leaf clover is another amazing track. Metallica doesnt actually get enough credit for their lyrics. They are really great writers in everyway.

James Hetfield (vocals/ guitar) of Metallica struggled w/ alcoholism since the early days of the band... Other members of Metallica had also struggled w/ drug and alcohol addictions, so 'Sad but true' was a song that the band could relate to personally... James' addiction would cause him to get into fights... cause problems in his marriage... and within Metallica itself. If u watch drunk drivers busted by police, they never accept responsibility for their actions... They have to drink, no matter what the cost to others around them. And they've done nothing wrong in their minds because it wasn't them; it was the booze... But it is them - just another aspect of their personality that emerges while intoxicated... That's what addiction is: a selfish disease of self-medicating to cope w/ everyday life... simply because of their inability to tolerate reality and the truth that is in their faces... They want the lie to be the truth and that is what alcohol and drugs do to people - they make them believe that they are better off intoxicated when they are clearly not well.

every one of us humans is a pressure cooker full of deceitfulness, selfish desires, and ulterior motives. we cover it over with a thin veneer of civility, but at any moment sin can come bursting out like a volcano. dr jekyll and mr hyde are inside all of us. this song makes me think of the emotional state of someone like ted bundy, during those times when he wasn't killing women and he was just living the normal part of his life. can you imagine the paranoia? imagine having to put on an act every time you interact with people in public, because you're trying so hard to deflect their attention from what you really are. "sad but true" is a psychological deep dive into the masks that people wear.

So you get 100k views and haven't returned to XG? Two recommended options: (1) if you want to stick to rap exclusively, watch 5 short XG Tape #4s (from rap line Harvey, Maya, Cocona & Jurin, and "Trampoline" group song), or (2) for more of a fusion sound, do very short Hesonoo & X-gene Performance Video (with drill beat) and then Offical MV for GIRL GVNG (short), followed by (dance) performance video of GIRL GVNG which is amazing chair choreo and includes missing rap verses from MV.
