About this listen

A living, breathing sonic blender of a podcast. Over eight episodes, we’ll celebrate the re-release of The Black Album (“Enter Sandman,” “Nothing Else Matters”), and the incredible band that made it. This is more than a “Making Of” look at the album. It’s the story of James, Lars, and Kirk — not just how the album got made, but why.

Ep1 What a mess. Whoever produced this needs to learn how to tell a story. Geez, what a waste of everyone's time. It truly amazes me that you could have this sort of access to incredible people, music and stories and completely ruin it with terrible storytelling and production. So embarrassing.
Ep2 is much better... perhaps a half-arsed, confused summary of Metallica's formation and fast-forward to Black Album in Ep1 was a really bad idea (or just poorly executed)?

This should be awesome, but it's not
