I can't even listen to this album anymore. The production is awful and the whole album feels contrived and lacks the organic quality of previous releases.
There are some great riffs and passages of play but as a whole it's a sterile album that confirmed Cliff Burton was the 'warmth' of the band. Newsted was treated appallingly on this album and I am surprised he hung around as long as he did.
