“So What” appears as the Japanese-edition bonus track on Metallica’s The Black Album.
The song is a cover of “So What” by the English punk band Anti-Nowhere League. It is listed as track 13 on the Japanese edition and runs for 3 minutes and 8 seconds, extending that edition’s total playing time to 65 minutes and 39 seconds.
The standard international album contains 12 tracks, so “So What” is not part of the main sequence on ordinary editions. This regional bonus-track detail can create confusion when comparing different physical releases or online track listings.
Metallica had recorded other covers during its career, including “Breadfan” and “Stone Cold Crazy,” but neither is the Japanese bonus track on this album. “So What” is specifically identified as the Anti-Nowhere League cover in the album’s track listing.
