pre black album, or post black album? which do you like better?
keyser soze

Absolutely, without a doubt pre-black. The appropriate question should be pre-selling out or post-selling out.
heathen

you gotta go pre .
John Doe

Post.
BrentR

Pre
Leolaia

Pre obviously. BTW, I do like the Black Album a lot too though it was more AOR so to speak.

Say what's with that post business there john doe? I agree with leo , the black one still rocked but after that maybe a song or two off the loaded stuff .
John Doe

"The cure." Best song they ever had.
monophonic

Pre, but with a decent nod to St. Anger.
Nosferatu

Pre. A couple of songs off Load were okay, Garage Inc wasn't bad, but after that they went horrible. St. Anger IMO was a pathetic attempt to try and sound like they hadn't lost their roots. It was a terrible album.
