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.

Was quite looking forward to this when I heard it was being released.

The effect on the Narrator is annoying, interview segments are very bitty and lots of needless “this is side 1” interruptions.

Hopefully let’s the people involved tell the story of the album in future episodes.

Not terrible but not great.

Some great bits amongst the interruptions
