dont get me wrong, i used to love metallica, but the ST anger came out, and after reload and all that other crap, well, i just pretend they broke up after the black album!
Edit: i WILL listen to the new album, and i WILL give it a chance, but im not expecting much.
I can understand your feeling of disapointment. And I used to think that as well (at least, about ST Anger). But then I suddenly realized something. If metallica would have released this album under any other name it would have been awesome. Sergeant Hettfield's Motorbreath Club Band - St Anger with a sticker on it saying: "Actually we are pretty much Metallica, but this stuff is radically diffrent from what we used to do". And nobody would have complained.

Here's hoping you'll be blown away then.
I just discovered Metallica about a year ago so I didn't much care, or I wasn't alive for all their newly released albums. So I kinda got all their stuff in a short period of time, but I love the load and reload stuff. There are some quality riffs throughout those two albums, regardless of whether people thought they sold out or not.
Load era Metallica had a lot of great songs, but again mentioned above It shouldn't be combined with KEA through AJFA.
in both cases, somehow people have the tendency to stick the name of Metallica to something, mostly KEA through AJFA. While someone who would listen to all albums for the first time and didn't know the names on the CD's would say that all were actually pretty damn good.
All I want to say basically is that people stick too much expectations to a name or artist. And If anything deviates from that what they want it to be. Somehow it becomes a lesser product
. That is kind of strange isn't it?
If Metallica decides to record an album only using 5 tuned chickens, 12 fat penguins playing kazoo and a goldfish playing soprano tuba, all in the key of E#. Who is going to stop them? you? Will it remove the artistic creativity? I think not. I am sure that the quality will be very high, and the musicallity will be very high. In fact, In certain circles they would definately decide that that would be the greatest musical experience ever and nothing will ever come close to it. It will definately make an odd listening though, I'll grant you that.
I hope I'm still making sense after this,
J
