The fact that the black album sold millions of copies doesn't make it a classic. It was Metallica's worst when it was released and still is second to Shit Anger in that category.


Well, set aside whether or not you or I feel its any good (we both obviously feel that it isn't), it was a critical success, and popularized metal to the mainstream kids of 90's the way few, if any, other albums did. Couple that with the fact that I'm sure a good many of today's young bands list it as an influence on them, and it meets the criteria, even if it does suck...which it does.

I agree with everything you said, Adam. Still, the fact that it is not a good album keeps me from considering it a classic.

I'm with you on that. I will never review an album as a classic that I don't think is good.

Stefan is protesting against MR, I'm protesting at his self-banishment. It all makes sense.

If the whole album is like this song, it's going to be fantastic, even without UDO. Btw, new guy reminds me of David Wayne, always a good thing.

Not bad but, without Udo's voice, it doesn't really sound like Accept.

Accept's debut is a classic in my opinion as well.


I like that one too. It had some balls.

Really surprised at how good that one is.
