I got it for Christmas. I've picked it apart. Here's what I have to say about it...... I approve. Right on.
Might have to check it out based on some of these reviews. I only own the albums from kill them all till the black. Nothing after that warranted purchase.
Better than the dick you have to smoke to like this shit. How you can go from ride the lightening and end up here is beyond comprehension. Even the new Judas Priest is better.
I didn't like "Load" when it was released...then about 5 years later I brought it out for some reason and realized how damned good it was. https://metallica.com/releases/albums/4214/load The first 5 songs are absolutely awesome!
Metallica is cool just because Hetfield pretty much said that San Fransisco could kiss his ass and he moved to Vail because he likes guns and hunting.
And Bees. Check out Joe Rogan's podcast with James. Pretty good stuff. New Metallica is better than that shit on 'Death Magnetic' or whatever they called it but I still dig the old shit. Fade to Black, Battery, Sanitarium.
