This album is roughly the equivelent of Load [of sh!t] and Re-Load [of shIt] ... It doesn't make me think of Kill Em All, Puppets, or even And Justice For All. if every album metallica made sounded like kill em all/puppets/or justice...it'd get old -------------------- |

Are you saying Metallica is ripping off....Metallica? They hyped this for the last year as a "return to their roots" and all it does is sound like the Offspring trying to write a Metallica tribute album only with unreleased songs. The songs are not heavy, they are not fast, they are not melodic. They sound like they put the whole album together with Pro Tools instead of actually writing and recording an album. It sounds so cookie-cutter I cannot believe I was dumb enough to think it might have been anything different. I'm sure this will please the "rock radio" crowd who will eat up any generic type of rock music they can find ... hey, at least to their credit, it's not nigger music, but still .... it's time for Metallica to throw in the towel. They haven't done SHIT in 15 years. Stop trying to cash in on the 80's. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

However, everything they've done since has sucked so bad it hasn't even been funny. When Load came out I could have sworn I was listenin to a fucking Motley Crue album instead of a Metallica album. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

I think it's decent although I think it's lacking something... creativity. See, they experimented with their last album and failed MISERABLY. They came to the realization that their success lied in their sound, so they returned to their "roots," but in doing so they didn't do anything to spice it up. It's Metallica, and if you like that sound of music then you will dig it okay. Only thing is, it's not the epic return they were hoping for. I give it a B-. I'll listen to it, but years down the road, you will never hear the songs played on the radio like their past hits. This album will fall by the wayside.

I just downloaded it. So far i've listened to the first two or three songs. It sounds exactly like every other metal band out there that was influenced by Metallica and tried to sound like Metallica, except this actually IS Metallica and they are trying to sound like themselves? ... But they're not accomplishing it very well because they just sound like every other band out there that copied them? This reminds me of a Robert Plant quote saying something along the lines of "Led Zeppelin now feels more like a cover band because we cover all our own stuff." -------------------- ![]() |

Was just at Best Buy grabbing a new UPS and grabbed this on my way to the counter, haven't popped it in yet (still busy cleaning up and redoing my setup after the hurricane) but hey I figured it was worth a shot.

Ok Mr. I'm-cool-because-I-say-everything-sucks Funny thing is his favorite band changed their thrash sound more than metallica did. Slayers album with Bloodline sounds nothing like Reign In Blood and their other 80's shit -------------------- ![]() ![]() |
