An album released by an established band or musician that ends up falling below expectations. The album is still good, but not nearly as good as the previous releases. All further albums continue the downward trend to mediocrity. Originates from Metallica's self titled album which is popularly known as "The Black Album" due to its all black cover.
"The Dungeonmaster's Guide" is Dieselboy's black album.

A photo album girls put on Facebook that consits of hot and sexy pictures of the girl with their hot and sexy friends in the summertime in their bikinis or half naked in some way. Girls usually put albums like this on Facebook for 1 of 4 (or all) reasons: To make their ex boyfriends jealous and show off the sexyness they are missing out on, they want guys to masterbate to it, they want to show off their bodies because they are proud of them, or they are just sluts and want other guys to see this album and make them horny and call them and fuck them or something that the teenagers are into now-a-days. Alot of guys (such as myself) use this album to masterbate to.
Facebook creeper 1- "Hey bro did you see Alex's summertime album?"
Facebook creeper 2- "Oh hell yeah bro, I beat off so hard to that album. I'm going to do it again tonight."

The nick name for the self-released album released by the metal band Metallica in 1991.
Despite the claims of the millions of defenders of this album, it was the turning point of the band where they lost their thrash status and sold out by releasing more mainstream-friendly, simplified and softened songs. Fans claim it still has their "metal edge" but if anything this "edge" is BARELY there.
It has many of their famous songs on it and has sold the most copies of all their albums to date. Nevertheless, the quality on the album is actual piss-poor when compared to their lesser selling previous 4 albums, albums that were actually thrash.
In summary, Metallica may have still retained some "metal" status on this album but it was a sell-out effort, the reason being up to this point they were known as the Pioneers of Thrash but then got greedy and changed their sound to be more "experimental", or in actuality, to sell more records.

Sell-out Metallica fan: Wow, this Black album is the greatest release from Metallica yet! Everything after this was crap though!
Thrash Metallica fan: No, you dumbass, it's shit compared to their earlier work. The only reason it seems good to you is because this sell-out work sounds better than their later sell-out work. Get any of their first 4 albums instead. Those were actually thrash.
Sell-out Metallica fan: What's 'thrash'?

In addition to TheEye5000's definition I would also like to ad a few other artists who have an album by the name of "the Black Album":
Buzzy Linhart 1972
The Damned 1980
Prince 1987
Kino 1990
L.S.G. 1998
Mad Trucker Gone Mad 2000
Junction Creek 2000
Oda 2001
K-Otix 2002
Edenpark 2003
Akhenaton 2004
So in reality, Jay-Z and Metallica are copying The Damned and Buzzy Linhart
