Which track closes Metallica's 1991 album Metallica, commonly called The Black Album?
Answer
The Struggle Within
“The Struggle Within” closes Metallica's 1991 album Metallica, commonly called The Black Album.
It is the record's twelfth and final standard track. The song follows “My Friend of Misery” and brings the album to a tense conclusion after a sequence that includes “Enter Sandman,” “Sad but True,” “The Unforgiven,” and “Nothing Else Matters.”
The track listing is easy to mix up because several songs on the album are associated with themes of conflict, fear, or inner turmoil. “My Friend of Misery” is the penultimate track, while “The Struggle Within” occupies the closing position.
The album's concise twelve-song structure helped distinguish it from the longer, more complex ...And Justice for All. Although the songs vary in mood and tempo, the final track preserves the record's heavy character.
