The new Metallica record is completely pointless and proves they're completely enamoured by their own self-indulgences of the past 15 years, and could care less about keeping up with the times. The mere fact these songs are over 6 minutes and don't evolve past the opening riff, first verse and chorus prove how arrogant and lazy Metallica has become. Suicide & Redemption is sheer torture, after 50 odd minutes, listening to the lame exchanges between Kirk and Lars, reminded me one final time how boring and predictable they've become. Congrats Metallica for setting up the public and making another killing.
