This track and for that matter the entire new album is obviously far from their best. No Metallica release will ever be good enough to hold up to MOP and Kill Em All etc but then again thats not something I'm ever expecting so I'm never gonna be disappointed by this. The new album sounds like 40+ year olds playing thrash metal so it was always going to lack in some ways and it was never going to be mindblowing.
With that said and out the way I'm thrilled that the band are most definitely taking a step back in the right direction with this record. This is new Metallica the way I want it to sound and pisses all over St. Anger. Not that thats hard mind you.
Love the track, like the album a lot.
