I just wish they would bring their style back to that. It was pure headbanging goodness You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Load I can see as an experiment, it's was OK, but nothing sing and dance home about. They are trying too hard to grow as musicians, countless bands do it, and ruin there good sound. Although someones when they grow naturally the bands becomes better. This is not the case haha personal preference of course. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

So overall, I think St. Anger was a complete departure in sound from them, wheras load and reload was them trying to do something different. Now they're back to their old sound, and not looking to be "different" = good old metallica! Also I think I heard that the two "new songs" that have been released may or may not even be on the album, so they might or might not be an indication of what it'll be like.

But i gotta admit that the time when St. Anger was being recorded was a hard time for the guys, i mean, no bass player + James on rehab for 1 year....

He made that band and when he started singing like a girl, it was over. Don't get me wrong, I have much respect for Metallica. I grew up on those guys. But Reload and St. Anger really upset me. There are a couple of catchy riffs and songs here and there but overall a big disappointment! I've tried for years to be optimistic and I truly hope I eat crow with their new album but for now, I am really not into what they've done recently. By the way Slash91, Ride is a classic albulm!
