I heard 2 songs from this new album today. SOOOO disappointed! Nothing else matters... Certainly not their roots or their dignity. And the masses follow these guys like sheep to the slaughter. All within my hands... Metallica started out as a powerhouse of a band! And I appreciate that James thinks he can sing for real. But I grew up with Kill Em' All and Ride the lightning. When they were putting out good, fresh, and new music. Now they sound like everyone else. Their last two albums, which they made us wait 9 years between, sounded like the same album. What was the point? OH! That's right... The all mighty dollar. I looked forward to this album coming out, loving the original. After hearing the first song, which was already on the first album, I had to change the station. Sorry guys, you still suck!
