Yup, eating your words can be very very funny sometimes.I'm listening to the retail version of the new Metallica album right now. Oh boy. First impressions? WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!???? Did i expect it to be this heavy? No.
Did i expect it to be this dirty? No.
Did i expect it to be this brutal? No.
Did i expect it to blow me away like it's doing me right now? No.
Are the lyrics idiotic at times? Yes.
Does it matter? No.
Am i flushing my cred down the drain? I dont give a fuck! Fuck, i seriously didnt expect this. The single isnt nearly as good as rest of the record. It's sick! I cant even believe i'm typing this. I feel like such a hypocrite. haha!

Hmmmm...Sorry, dude, but I've just lost all interest. Totally evaporated. That tribute was simply too much for me to bear. You could say, well, that was just MTV and Metallica was just there. Nope, I'm sure they okayed that circus and that to me was the last step off the cliff: PUN INTENDED. You can say, "well, people change, get older...c'mon man, don't be such a hardass give them a chance, its only rocknroll." Sorry, no can do......

Some more random thoughts, after a few listens (and my goodness, a couple of beers):Y'know, it's not a great written record, but it's pretty evil and sick. Sure there's no contest between VV and M. cuz well, Piggy,s in Voivod right? So they win, regardless. This record (St.Anger) would sound even better with a huge mountain of coke, for some reason. Lars, hook me up. Seriously though, both Voivod and Anthrax came out this year with much better written albums (meaning better songs) than Metallica is comin' out now, but! There's something vile and insane about this new Metallica, dont ask me, i have no idea... but it sounds like 75 minutes of pure unaldultered RAGE! to me. Knowin' me (and some of you do know me) i love my shit mindless and violent, so i like St'Anger. It's still kinda funny to say "Yah, i like the new Metallica record" after years and years of "Dont mention the M. word in my presence, thank you". Is it a good record? Well, if pure fucking rage is your thing, hell yah it is! If you like more thought-about tunes, you might wanna skip it, as it's pretty direct (it sounds like a rehearsal for crap sake). For comparison' sake: if Dimension Hatross was Master of Puppets, well this is their RRRoooaaarrr! Ok, i'm rambling. Fuck off.

A local station here in Seattle played an advanced copy of it in its entirety tonight...Yeah, as Skulhed says: it's pretty good, surprisingly. Lars can still play "fast", and with double-bass, the only problem with the new songs is the same re-occuring formula for each one: play hella fast, then mellow, then heavy, then fast again, etc. etc. They also play "tuned-down" now, the lowest I've ever heard them play. (they must have conformed to the almight 7-stringers!  But honestly it's a much better effort this time around than the so-called "black-album", "Load", and "Re-Load" pieces o' shit!

Well I bought it as promised.Thoughts? Only one. FUCK THIS SHIT. Last album I buy from them. Ever. That's it, done. It's just bad Nu-Metal ripoffs with crap production. That's all I'm saying.
That which doesn't sound like System of a Down sounds like Kyuss, if you took them all out, shot them and then slung their still warm corpses over their instruments. It's so incredibly goddamn weak, I'm going to stop now. Good bye Metallica. I still have your great 80's legacy. It's been a hell of a ride (the Lightning!).

Just picked it up a couple hours ago. Snare drum is annoying (turn the snare back on please!) The double kicks have a nice rumble effect, like they are supposed to. The guitars sound like shit, tuned way too low. The lyrics are idiotic, predictable and boring. Usually writers get better over time, James has gotten worse. The good news is that apparently they fired Kirk! Oh and the Pushead artwork.

Ah well, each to their own I say, if you like it, keep it, if you don't trade it!
Very funny. Like Mez has said before, there's too much other good music out there to spend one's hard-earned $ on rather than searching (in vain?) for musical inspiration from a band that I haven't been interested in for over a decade.
