Whew! The great, great, criminally underrated Through The Never was saved by the bell.
Seriously. Listen to it again. Those are some wicked fucking riffs.

Holier Than Thou, The God That Failed, The Struggle Within ... again.
 
Re: Metallica Survivor, series 4: Black Album round 2 (Aug 20-22)

I stick with my  previous vote, and let The Struggle Within take over for My Friend Of Misery.

Re: Metallica Survivor, series 4: Black Album round 2 (Aug 20-22)

Ouch! I voted the last three by mistake. I actually like Of Wolf And Man.  :(
 
Re: Metallica Survivor, series 4: Black Album round 2 (Aug 20-22)

Me too - and you shouldn't worry, it's going to survive this round anyway. My guess for survivors from Black Album (if any) are Sandman and Unforgiven, but these might also get kicked out. The 10 remaining after the AJFA rounds are all great songs.

Nothing Else Matters, Holier Than Thou and The God That Failed - good riddance.

If is was up to me the 10 that arrived to this portion of survivor would be the ones to leave, in other words, no 'Black Album' songs.
 
Re: Metallica Survivor, series 4: Black Album round 3 (Aug 22-24)

There's a couple Black Albums songs that might deserve top 10 status. Sad But True, and maybe (just maybe) The Unforgiven.
 
Re: Metallica Survivor, series 4: Black Album round 3 (Aug 22-24)

I too like these two songs the most of the Black Album songs - but I think Sandman has its fans as well, even though I've had enough of it ...

Maybe the Black does not contain masterpieces as individuals*, but is the most solid over-all Metallica album,
thus its enormous success. I certainly prefer it to Master of Puppets and Justice for All, it's behind only Lightning & Kill Em All.

*yet The God That Failed, Sad But True, Nothing Else & Unforgiven are metal classics now.

It is *not* the solid over-all Metallica album.  Not in my book.  Not even close.  The other four are great albums.  It was the prestige fans felt of having a really heavy metal band come in a nice friendly package was what was appealing with the album.  Also the timing was perfect.  Grunge was replacing glam rock as the most popular rock genre and fans were exploring their options.

The comment that 'The God That Failed' is a classic 'now' is completely baffling.  It was always 'a b-side'.  The other songs you mentioned plus 'Wherever I May Roam' and of course 'Enter Sandman' is what sold the album to the public at large.

This is a great interpretation, I have to admit.
But let me make my position more clear : When Black Album was out, I already had all their previous works
in vinyl and cassette format. (The only other group ever I did such a thing was Maiden)

Contrary to a lot of people that time I did *not* purchase that album, in fact I was hating it, mostly because I was feeling
what was to come, also see the 'friendly package' you've mentioned, as well as for Bob Rock in the production

This was then.
Since 2005, every time I'm listening to Black Album, I'm surprised how its sound remained modern through the years
untouchable by the time. And even if none of its numbers is in my Metallica top5,
yet the entire album is my best Metallica listen -solid, dark and heavy....
And this incredible sound which keeps surprises me a few years now.

The comment that 'The God That Failed' is a classic 'now' is completely baffling.  It was always 'a b-side'.  The other songs you mentioned plus 'Wherever I May Roam' and of course 'Enter Sandman' is what sold the album to the public at large.

I really like God That Failed, and yes I forgot to metion Wherever, but Sandman? Still I consider it a much overrated song

...and with that last choice, it's now starting to hurt.
 
Re: Metallica Survivor, series 4: Black Album round 4 (Aug 24-26)

Hmmm, two clear choices next, but which one should follow them? Wherever I May Roam gets the boot.

Then the Sandman needs to exit. Nothing else matters.
