I still do like this song...

...even if it's from the album that's regarded in some quarters as the band's sellout album.

I've probably said this before, but Metallica's self-titled black album was my introduction to that band; I really like it, but after I got the band's earlier releases I discovered I liked Metallica as a thrash metal band a lot more than I like them as a hard rock band. (I got Load as a gift one year but I could count on one hand the times I've listened to it. Didn't even bother with Reload; nothing I heard off that album appealed to me.) Anyway, I heard "The Unforgiven" making the dinner run earlier; that's always been one of my favorite songs off that album, even if it was a ballad. I really should dig that cd out again...
