Controversial opinions on metal

Justice is pretty awesome, pretty heavy, but a little more musically upbeat than I'd like. My call for Metallica's best is none other than The Black Album. It's my favorite heavy metal album of all-time. Not my favorite METAL album, but for that elusive genre known as "heavy metal."
