Agree to disagree. I loved the last two. Tracks like Atlas Rise, Moth to Flame, and Spit out the Bone were exactly what I wanted.
Also, it's a little bit of a reach to say "at least they tried something new" on St. Anger when it was a bad imitation of SoaD. Load through St. Anger was the band doing other people's styles. At least Hardwired was them doing their own sound. Yes, not in the Top 3 albums they have but they're 38 years in.
I'll never understand why they want bands to retire. Making new music doesn't kill the old music. You still have that. Why the freak out?
