Good song, but my least favorite of Metallica's Unforgiven trilogy. I found The Unforgiven 3 on Death Magnetic to be the best of the bunch, with the original coming in at a close second.
I suppose this is blasphemy, but I'm finding that I enjoy the Unforgiven II just as much as the first installment. It contains similiar them… morees to the Unforgiven I, and definitely fits into the over-arching musical narrative, but at the same time manages to stand alone with ideas unique to the first song. I felt that the song conveyed itself well both musically and lyrically. Its sound differs greatly from most Metallica tracks, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I tend to enjoy it when bands try out different methods, as long as the result isn't terrible, which is an entirely subjective adjective. Anyways, I'm also a sucker for symbolism, and I felt it also was utilized well here. So uh, yeah. Its my favorite Reload song, no doubts there.
I haven't been keeping up with Metallica too much, so I didn't know they had a new album coming out. I'll have to check out some of the songs on YouTube. How would you say the album is overall?
I just realized that I had only listened to the Unforgiven III once or twice. I gave it a few re-listens, and I'm realizing that I love it also. I dislike picking favorites when I see a lot to like in each option, so I think all three are pretty much tied in my eyes. Thanks for making me even more conflicted there.

Fantastic, however, I do find that the album before it, Death Magnetic, was a bit stronger. This is a double album, and the first CD is simply amazing, there's not a single bad track on it. Tracks like Hardwired, Moth, and Halo are reminiscent of their 80's material. The second CD does falter a bit however, it's a bit more experimental, much like their 90's albums like Load and Reload, and that's the problem. They fall into the same problem that those albums had, they recorded way too many songs and it started becoming a bit repetitive and even boring. I'm not against a band trying new things, but it just didn't work with me on a couple of these tracks. Confusion and ManUNkind are good songs, and Muder One is a great tribute to late Motorhead singer Lemmy, but Am I Savage? may be one of the worst Metallica songs I've ever heard, it really should have been scrapped. But, it's all worth it, because it closes out on the album's best track by far, Spit Out The Bone. My God, this song is just fucking amazing, it may be one of my new favorite Metallica songs, maybe even Top 10 material.

I've been listening to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. I wondered what all the hype was about (mainly from @MetallicaRules) and I have to say it's pretty good.

In all seriousness, Sandman is a good start when getting introduced to Metallica, it serves as a gateway to their music, just know that they have music heavier than that. Their best album is easily Master of Puppets, every single song on that record is amazing, but to narrow it down to a few, I would recommend the title track, Battery, Orion, and Disposable Heroes. My personal favorite Metallica song is One from the album ...And Justice For All, and other great tracks from the band's career to start you out with are:
Seek and Destroy, The Four Horsemen (Kill Em All)
For Whom The Bell Tolls, Fade to Black (Ride the Lightning)
Sad But True, Nothing Else Matters (Metallica/The Black Album)
Hero of the Day (Load)
Fuel and The Memory Remains (Reload)
All Nightmare Long, The Day That Never Comes (Death Magnetic)
Moth Into Flame, Spit Out The Bone (Hardwired...To Self Destruct)
Usually my music library of 200 + songs in Rockband Blitz. I used to listen to YouTube constantly, yet I have a variety of different music that I enjoy playing in Blitz. Alternative Rock, Funk, Stevie Wonder, Classic Rock, even four Pantera songs. (Though I rarely listen to Metal anymore). I really hope that Harmonix makes export possible again for Rockband. I missed the export option and I absolutely regret it now. I really want to export Rockband and Rockband 2 to play in Blitz. My 200 + songs are all songs that I bought individually over the course of six or seven months for $2 each.

I wish Jefferson Airplane had been able to make a video like this.
All of this

Eh, that song is overrated and overplayed, there's a ton of Metallica songs better than that.
What would you recommend?
My usual response: all of them.

ScHoolboy Q is a fundamentally intense rapper with a visual flair in his music videos largely unmatched. Very good shit here.

Can't post it for some reason.

I'm not even religious, the song is just too awesome.
