Did i get it? yes. Do i call it a metallica album? na not really. It is techincally one but i just forget that metallica ever made it, it makes listening to St. Anger alot easier. Much like a few other metallica albums its more the fact of what metallica used to be that hurts more than anything. There will be no one like metallica, sadly that includes post black album metallica. However, it is an alright album. Mind you, alright, not great. I was speaking with a friend who said that course their stuff wont be that great since they don't have Burton or Nustang (is that the right spelling of that megadeath guy?), though they made Justice for All after those two had either died/ and or left. So, eh i don't see much of an excuse. Perhaps if Hetfield watched another thing like Johnny Got his Gun by Dalton Trumbo (which was the basis for and the scenes during One music video) than he might come up with something. My advice? don't buy it, just dl the St. Anger song and leave it be.
