New Metallica
Okay.. heard the new Metallica. "St. Anger". Apparently there is two versions - one a shortened Radio edit and one a full 7 minute album track. If you heard it on regular radio, chances are that you heard the shortened version. I was fortunate to hear the long version in WSOU, Seton Hall's radio.
Well, I think I like the song very much. No, its nowhere near as good as anything from "Ride the Lightning, "Master of Puppets" and "And Justice For All" (albums which make thier heyday). However, it is light years better than the crap on "Load" and "Re-Load", which makes it okay in my book. If the whole album is like it, well, then they are heading back in a good direction.

Re: New Metallica
I've heard the radio version a few times, and it's okay. But I agree that they haven't put anything worth my money together since the "black album" in '91. I still prefer "Kill 'Em All" or RTL to their new stuff.
After that Napster debacle and those hideous covers of "Turn The Page" and "Whiskey in The Jar", they've lost major cool points with me.

Still love the music, and the new stuff out!

Re: New Metallica
Okay - I got the new Metallica today, and have given it the once over.
My verdict for the whole album is the same as for their first single. It is not in the realm of "Masters of Puppets" et al. However, the whole album is far far far better that anything they have put out in the last 5 years. It crushes the "Load" album (which was a load in itself).
Its worth your money, if you are a Metallica fan. The radio version of "St. Anger" seems to be the only one song that will end up being heard in Strip Clubs, though.

Re: New Metallica
Thanks for the review.
I need some new rock, and this sounds like it will do very well.

Djoser - The album cover art for the new Metallica was done by Pushead. That was the first sign to me that it would be a worthy release. ;D
