Fun fact: Beyond The Horizon is technically an attempt to summon Satan, according to the MLO's weird mythology. If you repeat the chorus ("Vider gal, tie kals, somdus Azerate" or something like that) eleven times, it opens a hole in spacetime blah blah blah. And guess what? It comes up eleven times in the song.
Retarded in the extreme, yes, but it's still a cool tune.
Also, I second the comparison to Load/Reload. Awesome albums (*puts up flame shield*), but they really should have been labelled "The Hetfield/Ulrich Nu-Country Experience" instead of "Metallica".
