metal_flank : 1/20 | O.K., we all agree that Metallica died along with Cliff Burton. With that out of the way, let's begin.
I found this CD on the side of the road near my home so I'm glad I didn't give them my hard earned mOney. This album way hyped up as "Their heaviest album to date". This was true... for the first 30 seconds. Just as soon as James opens his mouth the album sucked and didn't stop untill the disc quit spinning. Yet again Metallica screwed over their fans with a piece of trash undeserving on their name. If they had just changed their name when they came out with "Load(Of Crap)" their fans would probably still be fans. Instead they resort to bait-and-switch tactics used by late night infomercials to get people to buy their albums.
We were also told that they spent millions to make this recording sounde like a garage recording. Personally that's what I think they told the record company. I bet they made the recording in their basement with a $1,000 Tascan and kept all the mOney. Given they way they have handled themselves business wise, I have little doubt that's what they did.
I for One have sworn an oath to NEVER buy another album from them again. I am a Former Fan Of Metallica exercising my only Power to send a loud and clear message to bands and their executive bosses.
F.F.O.M. forever.
