Metallica’s 6th album. Polemico. (1996).
I actually love the sound of this album but some of the lyrics and singing seems kinda corny to me in songs like aint my bitch, king nothing (i fucking hate that “off to never never land” ending, corniest thing ever). Contrasting this, there’s lyrics i really like from here. Overall, i like it, but not much more than that.
