I thought it was a decent review from the casual Metallica fan (granted, one who did a lot of research) until here, where I strongly disagree.
Kirk Hammett does not play the same solo over again, I can hear distinct and notable differences between most of them. I admit there are similarities between a few, but I find it presumptuous to criticize Hammett and Metallica on a whole by something not true. It is partially due to Hammett's kick-ass solos that Metallica is who they are.
