Everything I heard so far sounds totally bland to me (no surprise there). I thought Death Magnetic was their worst album and this has the same problems. A bunch of mediocre parts (and a few good ones) stuck together with generic changes or just juxtaposed, no real flow, no songwriting flare. Hetfield's singing ranges from OK to god awful, Kirk's wah has just become a boring manirisim at this point, Lars keeps getting worse and worse.
