You are definitely right about Dave's awful constipated-sounding vocals but Metallica are definitely far from "pansy". They just aren't as self-serious as Slayer. I also think that Slayer showed very little growth over their careers. I don't think a complete change in sound is necessary but you would think after 20+ years they would have shown some variety. Likewise, I'm not a huge fan of Metallica's mainstream songs like "Enter Sandman", but at least the band has shown that they aren't completely limited to one sound. That takes talent. And to say that all their albums since 89 are bad or mainstream is silly. Heck, Death Magnetic could be considered a return to their roots and is farrrrr from mainstream
