Top Ten Best Things About the Frayed Ends of Sanity by Metallica

My favorite Metallica song. Criminally underrated. Here is why I like the song.
The Top Ten
1 The part right after the chorus and before the solo

The best part of the entire And Justice For All album or even all of Metallica.

2 The meaningful lyrics about insanity

Especially the chorus that somewhat relates to my failures on this site.

3 Every riff in the song is phenomenal
4 The Wizard of Oz chant at the beginning of the song
5 The song sounds darker than most Metallica songs
6 The drumming is good
7 The song is more complex than most Metallica songs

Pretty complex for a non-ballad with lyrics.

8 It has a great instrumental section

Only very few Metallica songs have instrumental sections as good as this.

9 It contains a pretty good solo

Not the best solo, but still great. Although it isn't as good as Dyers Eve or Ride the Lightning, the solo is still good and fits well with the instrumental section.

10 The dry sound (along with the rest of the album) makes the song sound better and different from other Metallica songs

Although there isn't any bass, I kinda like the sound in the album some. It just feels different and I think the dry sound was pretty great especially with the more progressive music in the album.
