This is a popular sentiment amoungest pseudo-intellectual morons who watch one documentry and realize that this is their first ballad, not realizing it begins their climb to massivly beautiful counterpuntal interplay, a defining aspect of metallica that stands as a testiment to their talent.
Most 15 year olds who spout this off attribute the word ballad with that "80's power ballad" CD's and not to something genuinly artistic like Stairway to heaven, which is an example of a ballad that doesn't blow hardocre.
Fade to black is a great song of, what i think, is their best disc, just for song selection, i think they got better and better, i just like the thrash on RTL.
Whoever said this was an idiot. Ignore them.
