Album swap with @TheDoctor400 - #4

Honestly, this wasn't striking me the same way that some other metal albums were. Albums like "Master of Puppets" and "Toxicity" have this feeling to them that makes them feel special and intense, but this lacks most of that feeling.

Uno de los Mejores albums de metal que jamas eh escuchado, antes no lo escuchaba tanto, pero me atrapo recientemente, los solos son maravillosos como en hangar 18, five magics, etc, al igual que los riffs, cada cancion se siente muy llena debido a lo antes mencionado, aparte los interludios (poison y dawn patrol) son bastante interesantes al ser bajo en su mayor parte pero sin dejar de sentirse lleno, aparte la produccion me encanta.
En general GOD
