That's because lastfm does not differentiate between different albums that have songs with the same title, for example now I'm listening to Enter Sandman from S&M (7:40) and here is the black album cover, so it is all mixed

Awesome song, but does anyone know why it says it goes for 7:40? Isn't it supposed to go for 5:32?

I like this song and all, but honestly if I went the rest of my life without hearing it again, I'd be alright with that. I guess i've heard it about 100 times too many...

NOT thrash metal. Lyrically idiotic. Musically lacking. "Hush liitle baby don't day a word... We're off to never never land!" WTF??!!! If this wasn't Metallica none of you would like this. Sounds worse than a Poison song for Christ's sake.
