Holy crap! This shit is really good! This song alone is like Ride The Lightening, And Justice For All, and the Black album joined together. After the second chorus they rock the fuck out like at the end of One. It's an 8 minute song but it's well worth the 8 minutes

I'm actually looking forward to hearing the entire album now. This album can put them right back on top where they used to be if the rest of the album is that good

I have faith in this album. I think maybe Metallica had someone in they're ear that they got rid of.

A few years back when I still gave a lingering shit about current music I kept hearing about Metallica's upcoming St. Anger album and how it was going to kick ass. Then I eventually heard the first single and, man, it sucked big time.

See I'm one of those people that doesn't understand how anyone can say the Black album sucked. I know a lot of die hard Metallica fans didn't like anything after Justice but to me the Black Album was just flawless. Now as far as Load and Reload I can understand why people thought it sucked. Once again, I don't think the albums sucked. Load and Reload just sucked big time for Metallica's standards and that's why no one would give it a chance. Honestly if I listen to a song from Load now, it really wasn't that bad at all! It just wasn't Metallica and it made you feel let down. St Anger....I think they were smoking crack when they recorded that. The mix was awful and I just couldn't get into anything from that album. This new album I have faith to be the Album that should have been released after Justice or the Black album. I'm really excited for this album just from that one song because Metallica never delivers a song like that without all of their other songs being relative to their hit

I liked Black album a lot too. I think the reason people shit on it is because Nothing Else Matters and maybe Unforgiven. All in all it was a good album.
Load and Reload is more like some other band completely. Like Champ said, its not bad its just not Metallica good. St. Anger has a documentary out called Some Kind of Monster and you should watch it. Its on VH1 every now and then. After you see it you know why the album came out the way it did. Too many people in they're ears and hella amount of band problems.

Thats it Naitch, Nothing else matters sounded like the direction they where going in. Sad but True was the one standout on the album. Wherever I may roam was kind of a bad direction they where going in too. Thats why I still own RTL and MOP on CD but didnt ever replace my black album casette.

There were some other good tracks on it like Don't Tread on Me. Every band changes directions and Metallica needed to because of the damage to Hetfields vocal chords.

Did he damage them or just got old? He sounded great on rtl.

I watched Some Kind of Monster just yesterday! I saw it 2 weeks ago too but I missed half of it because I got up a lot to do stuff around the apartment.
It was definitely the band's chemistry that made St. Anger just sound wrong. Hetfield came out of rehab and told Lars flat out that he doesn't like playing in the same room him. After seeing those problems, for the band to still be going strong, I give them a shitload of credit

I'd watch a music video of Lars getting his ass kicked for 5 minutes for sure! Maybe that's what they are building to.

SM-damaged them. I forgot how.
Champ-I laughed my ass off when that dude they were paying to be the stage therapist or whatever told them he was moving to San Fran and they all freaked out and wanted to fire him. And all those bassists that didn't make it into the band was crazy. Guys like Jerodie White and Pepper Keenan and Les Claypool all didn't make it in.
