I heard the new single earlier today.
And......I don't know. I love the riff, and thankfully the damned guitar solos are finally back where they should be. I just don't know though. It sounds like a cross between And Justice For All and ReLoad. Let's hope not......Hetfield's lyrics still seem to be getting crappier than usual, but even as simple as the first few words were, I still enjoyed it. Until about 4 minutes through the song, anyway. Then he started screaming "love is a four letter word!", and it completely killed my boner. On the upside, the technical aspects of the music picked up pace, and the guitars got a hell of alot better. I didn't like some of the variations they threw in towards the end, it makes them look like they kinda just made up a riff on the spot for filler. Thank God Ulrich has finally tuned that ****ing snare drum. I couldn't stand that damn tin can sounding crap off St. Anger. I've always defended the last album, and still do as an overall album. It was decent, but it wasn't Metallica at all. Hopefully they'll wake themselves up with this album. I can't wait to see what Rob does on bass.
