<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm picturing in my mind a crowded yet cramped bedroom wherein the mixing of Mr. Pibb and Jim Beam amongst several young adults was taking place. Indeed this album drowned out any doubt in our minds of what needed to happen next. Down the hatch, bros. This was truly the soundtrack to slurred speech. The anthem of alcoholic absurdity. The ballad of booze buddies. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Metallica's masterpiece by a wide margin, <i>AJFA</i> redefined Metal in many ways. The haunting melodrama of a raped and tortured lady justice is merely the backdrop for this brutal outing. Nothing beats kicking back a brew and banging your head to the onslaught of riffage and heart-pounding double bass within. Mark this one down for angry drunks to let off some steam. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the great things about Folk Metal is the music is so ridiculous and cheesy you can't help but love it. Raising a glass to enchanting tales of Vikings and sailing off to war is an activity anyone can have fun participating in. Turn up the true aria of ale <i>"One More"</i> to 11 as you won't be able to contain yourself from shouting the chorus at the top of your lungs. </span><br />
