      @@robweaver7153 Not sure if you're disagreeing with me that it's an incredible song or with the definition of underrated. If you're not a big fan of it that's fine. But I think it's one of their best, and since not many think of it that way nor is it very popular even among fans, hence imho it's underrated.

      @@robweaver7153 Glad you love it and I would hope that most true fans love that and most if not all the songs on their classic albums. But I've already explained that it's one of my faves and I think it's one of their best, hence I call it underrated with the implication that "most Metallica fans" do not think of it as such - you yourself didn't classify it at that level.
      I haven't ever heard anyone say or write about this as one of their best, nor do I remember anyone ever saying it's even one of their faves, whether back when it was released or now. It's certainly not one of their most popular or loved songs on their classic albums. Hell, it's rarely if ever even mentioned among people's faves/best on AJFA, let alone out of their entire catalog.

    The observation that the shortest straw being pulled for you before you have a chance is spot on and something that I hadn’t thought of. Also, you mentioned that the solo came out of nowhere which I think was the intention as its on point with the theme of the song. I didn’t get the empty feeling that you described, to me it was more dizzying. Aka, vertigo which is mentioned in every verse.

    This song is about McCarthyism and the red scare in the 50s and 60s. The song (and the whole album) really applies today but you have to reverse the roles. It’s the authoritarian/communist types coming after liberty-minded types today.

    You're not the only one who thought the guitar solo was empty,flat and missing something. Kirk Hammett felt the same way while playing this song on tour in the mid-90's, so when it was time to tour in support of the ReLoad album ( '97-'98 ) he had come up with a brand new solo for the song.
