What are you guys, like 8 years old? Did you never listen to anything before Load and Reload? I can clearly see that the internet is a dangerous forum for rampant morons who think they are intelligent and can comment on anything because they think they are an "authority" on whatever topic they please. Wow. And our grandparents said our parents would be failures. From what I can tell you collect you wisdom (or the lack thereof) from a bong induced haze. Sure, I miss the days of Disposable Heroes, Orion, and such greats as Seek and Destroy, but give credit where it's due. These guys worked their asses off for almost 30 years trying to please even retards like you. So in thier credit as human beings i think whatever they do at this juncture in their career deserves a massive "Horns Up". Quit being such self absorbed jaded crybabies and learn to respect other humans.

ICED EARTH make up for this? are you kidding me? I have not been a James Hetfield singing fan in years but his playing and singing on this album make Iced Earth look like "little girly men". All Nightmare Long is the strongest song and that song alone out does must of the metal albums i've bought in the past few year. I dont think anyone cuts Metallica slack they have put out 3 bad albums in the past decade and everyone here knows it and says it over and over. I know one thing i'm glad Hetfield is shouting again because i'm tired of the falsetto of bands like Iced Earth come on this Metal not an Opera!

There are a few gems but over all the album is so-so. I'm hoping the Trivium and Iced Earth CDs make up for this disappointment

By the time "Suicide & Redemption" came on, I was already selling my entire Metallica Discography on Ebay for $0.88!!… and that's coming for someone who tries to find something good in every band.

Seriously, it bothers me how people cut slack to Metallica just because they're practically every metal head's gateway band. Hands down there will probably never be a metal band as big as Metallica, and kudos to them for "making it", but this LP has to be the best marketed mediocre CD I've heard in a while. I never gave in to the hype because I thought they'd fuck it up, and I'm glad I didn't because I would have been twice as disappointed. I genuinely liked a total of 3 songs on this entire 10 track disc, and if my memory serves me correct, all 3 feature heavy protools editing on the drums.

Just because they re-amped the guitars, edited Lars, wrote better guitar solos, sound replaced the snare, and put some auto tune on James doesn't make it good. If anyone deserves an applaud here it's Rick Rubin for at least getting the band's "raw sound" on tape, but a heavy- quality sounding shitty CD, is still a shitty CD none the less.

Summary: I expect much much much better from the "world's biggest metal band."

You guys didn't like "Suicide & Redemption"? Fucking awesome instrumental (but yes, it's long). But damn, it crushes.

Mostly I think this album is really good. The "singles" they released last week are my least favorite songs. Totally agree about "All Nightmare Long" being the best song; but I think there's more than just that. Certainly their best since the Black Album.
