Based on what I just listened to, they have a long way to go to get back to their roots.

>.<
what ?
Black was a bad joke, it was Metallica saying - look we can put out crap - a turd of an album and people will buy it ! Its Metallica's "Smell The Glove".
Did you even really listen to it?
And by really listen I mean listening to it without a preconcieved notion that its going to suck?
It seems as though most people just refuse to listen to this album with an open mind...
I picked the album up today, its incredible. Best stuff since ...And Justice For All.
Some of the songs are just wicked heavy.
Finally MetallicA is back! :rockin:
Call me a d!ck but I don't think the new album is anything near comparable to their old stuff. Sure they have some "old-school" syle riffs, but thier lyrics and Hetfield's singing style is way different than any of the Justice and earlier albums. Maybe it's just evolution, but not everything evolves for the better.
Newstead was good.....but let's not forget about Burton.
You guys crack me up. The two biggest complaints I hear from people about bands who have been around a long time are either "All their albums sound the same" or "their music has changed sooo much over the years.....they sold out". If they still had the same sound they did back in the 80's/early 90's I bet you guys would be complaining that all their stuff sounds the same. I'm sure you'll deny this, but I believe it to be truth.
But to give you an example, AC/DC has a new album coming out I think the 20th of next month. Now AC/DC has been around since 73 - thats a decade longer than Metallica.
What do you want to bet that AC/DC's new album doesn't sound appreciably different from any of the 14 other albums they've made in the past 35 years ?
I don't need them going back to their roots. I already have that stuff. Don't need more of it. After all, I certainly wouldn't want to go back to my routes. I, you know, grew up.
Why can't a band do the same without being lambasted for it?
So let say Metallica is coming to your town and you landed tickets to the show.
Am I the only one that doesn't listen to a band to compare it to what they have already done? I like a band that continues to make new music not the same ole music. It takes balls to remake your sound instead of just sticking to what you know works. Personally I take every piece of music for what it is not what I can compare it to.
Dick! just kidding
I love the new record. I've loved Metallica since 1986. If wasn't for them, I wouldn't be a guitar player.
