Metallica's fifth, self-titled album, often called The Black Album, was released in 1991 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.[4] The band embarked on a two-year tour in support of the album. Metallica has since been certified 16 times platinum by the RIAA.[3] Metallica followed with the release of Load and Reload, respectively.[5] After the release of Garage Inc. and S&M, Newsted (who would later join Voivod) departed from the band. Metallica recorded St. Anger without an official bassist (bass parts for the writing & recording during the album sessions were played by the band's long-time producer Bob Rock). Bassist Robert Trujillo joined Metallica in 2003. In 2008, the band released its ninth studio album, Death Magnetic, which was produced by Rick Rubin and distributed through Warner Bros. Records. In April 2009, the band's catalogue was released on the iTunes Store as the Metallica Collection.[6]
In 2013, Metallica released the movie Metallica: Through the Never, together with its soundtrack. Metallica then started writing their tenth studio album, Hardwired... to Self-Destruct, which was released on November 18, 2016. On April 14th, 2023, Metallica released their eleventh studio album, titled 72 Seasons.Metallica has sold more than 125 million albums worldwide,[7] with over 67 million records in the United States alone (56.3 million albums since 1991 when SoundScan started tracking actual sales figures).[8][9][10]

This is review is part of a year-long Metallica retrospective I started in January. I was originally planning to skip this album altogether and review Garage Inc. instead, but you people actually requested that I review S&M for your own sadistic purposes. It is not a successful album by any means. The idea of hearing Metallica's greatest hits being pompously blared out by a freakin' symphonic orchestra is awesome on paper, but there's only eight out of twenty-one songs I'd call a hit on there. And I could've live my life without hearing them interpreted by flutes and cellos.
Master of Puppets is an angry song. One is an angry (and desperate song). So are Enter Sandman, For Whom the Bell Tolls and Battery. Their lyrics are subtle and allegorical, but young people have used them to externalize their emotions for three decades now. Playing clarinets and bassoon over them don't exactly communicate anger, torment or whatever. I don't know who in the band had the idea that it would be fucking cool to record an album with a symphonic orchestra, but it goes against everything that made Metallica successful. They pushed the boundaries of heavy metal using their own instruments. If S&M clarified anything, it's that piccolos and trombones aren't metal.
They didn't pick Creeping Death or Seek & Destroy and decided to play the unbearably long The Outlaw Torn from Load. Let that sink in for a moment. How is it not the big "fuck you" to their fanbase who was lashing out against their new sound? There's only six songs from their canonical albums and a whopping twelve from their weird nineties alternative drift. And they chose the longest ones, too. Nine songs on S&M clocks over 7 minutes long. This album is the biggest "we're-filthy-rich-so-we-do-what-we-want" dick move in the history of heavy metal. I understand the strain on Metallica's relationship with their fans way better now than I did three months ago.
Hear us out: there are no truly bad Metallica albums. From Kill 'Em All, their first crucial blow in the quest for world domination, to the eyeliner-fuelled era of the mid-90s and beyond, each of Metallica's 10 studio albums has its own place in their legacy. Even if the music contained within doesn't exactly float your boat, every single one of those albums has played its part in making Metallica the band they are today. They're all important, because they all mean something.
They're all legitimate opinions, even if some of them are more controversial than others. So when it came to ranking each Metallica album in order of greatness, we decided to do the democratic thing and turn the weighty decision over to a public vote.
From a list of their 10 studio albums, plus a live album, a covers compilation and that collaboration, thousands of people joined us to nail down the definitive order of every Metallica album from worst to best. Here's what they decided.
The whole S&M affair has become such a touchstone in Metallica's career that they decided to revisit the whole thing again for the album's 20th anniversary in 2019. That the announcement of S&M 2 was met with almost universal enthusiasm speaks volumes of how well Metallica first pulled off this most unlikely of experiments in retrospect.
And, for the most part, that's exactly what happened. The 'Black' Album produced a slew of hits, won the band Grammy Awards and netted them millions of new fans in the process. And you can't argue with the songs, either: Enter Sandman, Sad But True and The Unforgiven are all still up there with some of the best Metallica have ever recorded.
That James Hetfield was 22 when Master Of Puppets was recorded, and his buddy Lars just 21, is genuinely mind-blowing. What's even more astonishing is that one of the most revered, inspirational and influential metal albums of all time never even broke into the UK Top 40 in 1986, peaking at number 41 in the national album chart in a year when Iron Maiden and Bon Jovi scored Top 10 releases. But chart statistics alone cannot measure the significance of an album which set its creators up as the kings of a new age of metal and changed the face of the genre forever.
It is difficult to accurately determine the lowest-selling Metallica album as sales figures can vary depending on the source. However, according to some estimates, the band's 2016 album Hardwired... to Self-Destruct is the band's lowest-selling album, but the popularity of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music could have impacted physical sales. For example, Metallica fans streamed over 137 million hours of the band's music on Spotify in 2022.
Thirty years ago today the album that ruled college campuses across the nation, changed the direction and scope of the band, and split a fan base was released with much acclaim and extraordinary sales.
The mainstream success of Metallica in 1991 obviously boosted their catalog sales, but the fact that nearly 30 years later they are still going strong shows that there is more to that. Metal fans, and also a good chunk of rock fans in general, simply love these early records. They are always featured very high in best Metal albums ever lists, especially Master Of Puppets which often out-ranks even Metallica. This latter LP is also an evergreen seller with a total now easily over the 30 million threshold.
As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 3 ratio between one album and one physical single and 10 to 5 ratio between one album and one EP of 4 to 5 tracks, while 6+ tracks EPs are weighted on par with albums.
Singles from the first 3 albums charted virtually nowhere. They quickly gained a cult following though and many went on to look after them even various years later. The best example is Creeping Death which went Gold in the UK for 200,000 units shipped without ever entering the singles chart thanks to 5 years of continuous sales.
All told, the band moved a respectable 10.8 million singles. They are worth 4,643,000 albums, nearly 0.43 per singles. This higher than usual conversion rate is obtained thanks to their numerous singles which were effectively EPs rather than traditional 2-tracks singles.
All those packaging-only records do not create value, they exploit the value originating from the parent studio album of each of its tracks instead. Inevitably, when such compilations are issued, this downgrades catalog sales of the original LP. Thus, to perfectly gauge the worth of these releases, we need to re-assign sales proportionally to its contribution of all the compilations which feature its songs. The following table explains this method.
How to understand this table? In this example of S&M, these figures mean it sold 7,320,000 units worldwide. The second statistics column means all versions of all the songs included on this package add for 2,128,059 equivalent album sales from streams of all types.
The second part on the right of the table shows how many equivalent streams are coming from each original album, plus the share it represents on the overall package. Thus, streaming figures tell us songs from the Metallica album are responsible for 53% of the S&M track list attractiveness. This means it generated 3,906,000 of its 7,320,000 album sales and so forth for the other records. We then apply this process to all compilations present on below table.
While Metallica are famous for never releasing a compilation album in nearly 40 years, they did drop multiple side projects, live albums, box sets, and music videos. Among them is the duet album with Lou Reed, Lulu, which completely bombed. Then, there is also heavily successful products. One of them is S&M, one of the best selling live albums of all-time, along with its top selling music video too. Both sets combine for 8.6 million sales.
The band always issued plenty of EPs, some of which sold very well. Their renditions on the $5.98 E.P. got a cult reputation very early and were available only through this EP, which thus went on to sell nearly 2 million copies. These songs were later included into the Garage Inc. album. We can also highlight the 7.8 million sales of music videos, a number that easily puts them among the very top sellers of all-time in this format.
So, after checking all the figures, how many overall equivalent album sales has each album by Metallica achieved? Well, at this point we hardly need to add up all of the figures defined in this article! be457b7860
