tinyE: Funny, because I'm the only person I know that actually likes that record. XD Mind you, I don't think it holds up with the first four, but a lot of people get violent when I brink it up, like it is some sort of plague on the genre. :P
Randalator: The Black Album was the album that got me into Metallica when I was a wee little lad and it has a couple of classics like Enter Sandman, but as a whole I don't think it holds up all that well today. I'm with B0SC0 that as full records the *Loads are actually better than the Black Album.
I think the problem with the Black Album is that it only has 5 memorable songs. (Enter Sandman, Sad But True, Unforgiven, When Ever I May Roam, Nothing Else Matters)
The other songs vary in quality from nice to meh.
Yeah Holier than Thou and Through The Never were played live.
But than we get rather meh songs like""Of Wolf and Man" and "The God That Failed."

darthspudius: I look at An Justice For All as a plague. Everything wrong with the band right there!
Is your beef with Justice is because of the downplayed Bass Track of all the songs? (And the somewhat mellow sounding snare drum)
If so people posted vids with the bass enhanced. One sounds SO much more better with its bass enhanced.
