this song is awesome. I love it. It shows a shitload of emotion, and even without James's lyrics this is a real historic metallica song. If anybody disagrees with me, they are not a real metallica fan.

This is a good song,with some mildly amusing bass parts. Hammett's solo at 6:00+ is great,even though he is no Steve Vai or Satch.This was one of the first songs that inspired me to be an adventurous bassist,but with hindsight it is not very adventurous at all.Good enough though!

this may sound kind of dumb, but when i hear this song it sounds like a futuristic war, like Terminator or something like that, just my opinion

The song is intended to be about outer space and how the ambience of it would be
