Kinda strange for me. I had to google "Journey", but a quick listen of a few things and they could've been Bon Jovi or Def Leppard or Poison (and any other "hair" band of the 80s). The Metallica song I recognised (the Black Album was the first CD I ever bought). I remember this album being the real beginning of Metallica's commercial success and maybe not so far away from the soft rock of the aforementioned bands anyway.
Certainly an interesting musical journey
