just finished listening to it.

to me, its just the same bland stuff they keep releasing. its no better than the black album, and i dont know why people are saying "o god thrash is back, gaaah metallica is bst band ever hurr durr."
to be honest, i really couldnt stand listening to it. nothing jumped out at me, there was nothing new, just the same old recycled riffs.

more like trash is back amirite?

Of course it's just going to be a bunch of riffs. That's what thrash metal is. Hell, that's basically what all metal is.

i realise this. its just that some metal brings something new to the genre, or an album might have some driving riffs/solos that really catch my attention. this however, was just a re hash of their whole career, except without the little bits and pieces of soul and creativity that were Master Of Puppets and Ride the Lightning.

Seriously though...i don't think anyone expects RTL/MoP.
This is as good as it gets with modern day metallica. Listening to it a second time, I'm actually liking it now. There isn't much room for originality in thrash metal. It's either you dig it or don't dig it.

Blatant lie.
