How many tracks are on Metallica's original 1991 self-titled album?

Metallica's original 1991 self-titled album contains 12 tracks.

The sequence begins with “Enter Sandman” and ends with “The Struggle Within.” Between them are major songs including “Sad but True,” “The Unforgiven,” “Wherever I May Roam,” “Nothing Else Matters,” and “Of Wolf and Man.”

The album's vinyl configuration divided the 12 songs across four sides: tracks 1–3 appeared on Side A, tracks 4–6 on Side B, tracks 7–9 on Side C, and tracks 10–12 on Side D. This layout is useful when comparing the original double-LP presentation with later CD editions.

The track count does not include bonus material found on anniversary editions or the much larger 2021 deluxe box set. Those releases add demos, live recordings, interviews, and other archival material beyond the original album sequence.
