this album can be summed up with one word that applies to the whole thing repititious. every song the guitars and bass plod through a heavier sound that actually seems like an afterthought for the song. the refrains are totally unoriginal and so so simple you could beat the brains out of a baboon and still have them perform better. you forget sombody is playing bass its like it is there just because it has to be. the drums sound like the kit was stolen from a 13 yearold who bought em in a pawnshop for $50. and kirk hammett where is the guitar? you hear it but it dosnt sound like him playing the last album in which the guitar came out sounding razor sharp was "and justice for all" this album is faster and harder but still manages to sound weak as if it wasnt rehearsed. the vocals are all hetfield but sound superimposed onto a mat of poor quality music. im sure they spent millions to make it sound that way when they could have recorded it in my garage for $200. i just wouldnt tell anybody they were there so i wouldnt be embarassed. jipped genes and son give this two thumbs down and two middle fingers up to a comeback album that will sell but dissapoint those of us who had faith that our fav band would actually devolve instead of evolve into a highschool rockband with weak lyrics and a generic sound that could only come from guys who forgot how to do it right. fuck metallica! peace
