Black Album was a great album, definitely one of the greatest produced albums of all time. It also had 5 hits on it; Enter Sandman, Sad But True, The Unforgiven, Wherever I May Roam, and Nothing Else matters. These facts cannot be denied.

I ain't the only one who thinks like this. Watch Metal Evolution Episode 6 and you will know what am i talking about.
It didn't kill Thrash in Metallica, they just evolved. People were saying that when they wrote Fade to Black. Holier Than Thou and Through the Never are Thrash songs, they don't sound that way because of the awesome quality, which Thrash isn't known for. I can tell you from experience that going 1000mph is fun, but it gets old after a while, you've gotta try different things. If anything killed Metal in general, it was Grunge.
The album is legendary, and that's why they're doing these shows to commemorate it. They already performed the entire Master of Puppets album in 2006.
That being said, Black is legendary, and that's a fact. It's not my favorite, but it's damned heavy.
