Last good album was And Justice for All and then they sold out. Period. Right now Dave Mustaine is rolling his eyes as we all will be after the album is released. Too little, too late boys.

i have to say i truly hope that this is a return to greatness for metallica. when i was a kid it was all about metallica and judas priest, when load, re-load, and st. anger came out i was disappointed even the orchestrated stuff wasn’t that special but the garage inc. was awesome but it was nothing more than cover songs. Even though a part of me is still reeling from the pain of these dissapointing and thoughtless albums i still think and believe that metallica will come back to us, to metal and kick us all right in the ass and make us all proud to call them metal gods again, and perhaps we can all find it in ourselves to forgive them after all didn’t megadeth have a few bad ones? iron maiden (with blaze bailey ofcourse) only to name a few, and maybe we expected too much from metallica, i mean they went over the top just to bring metal to the musical charts and pay the respect it deserves. All metallica wanted to do was be ambassadors for us and they sold their souls to the evils of the music industry. in closing i hope that metallica realizes now the mistake they made its not about the money or the fancy homes its about the music, the poetic art of true lyrics, and good solos, its about art and what songs like fade to black, master of puppets, and the hard hitting hit the lights meant to the metal community. Time will tell.
