Metallica's new album...another St. Anger?!
Question:
Metallica's new album...another St. Anger?
I am a HUGE Metallica fan, but i didn't get into Metallica until a couple years ago. I love all of their albums before Load and ReLoad. Those two albums don't even sound like Metallica back in the early 90's, but I like to listen to them once in a while. I hadn't really listened to St. Anger until I bought it for my Dad for Father's Day. I don't mean to bash on Metallica or anything, but that album was BAD. They're coming out with another album now, and it's going to be released sometime this summer (supposedly). I haven't listened to their two new songs, but do you think it will be like St. Anger, or will they reach back to the late 80's/early 90's and make another spectacular album?

Well the album actually isn't due until Spring next year, but I think it'll be much better than St. Anger. Kirk Hammett recently said that the new songs are a little more like the stuff from their first 5 albums. The guitars are tuned where they used to be, James' singing sounds more like it used to, and Lars' changed his snare drum back. A lot of the music is said to be fast and heavy with guitar solos, but also some groove oriented stuff. Here's what James had to say about the new album...
