I like it. Hopefully they'll do a US tour one day.

they went back to their thrash/punk roots with it. I like that they kept it short---and kirk layed off the wah pedal. definitely better than I expected.

They're still Alot of fun to see live and I'll always see them when I get the chance, but they peaked so hard in 2001. Their music just seems different since then

I like the speed and rhythm of it, but would have preferred they use their older tone. Not a fan of the 'newer' distortion.

The video is horrendous! Staring directly into a strobe light for 5 mins is more pleasant than this erratic garbage.


The song though? I'm actually impressed. It's not great, but this is their best work since the Black album. The sound is on point, it doesn't sound forced and it has a great pacing to it; however, their is nothing original in it overall. The riffs are quite typical. That is mostly to be expected though from a band that's been playing for 30 years.

6/10 for me

It's about what I expected. Pretty generic stuff and fast for the sake of fast. Definitely better production and mixing but Hetfield just doesn't sound good "spitting" his vocals out like that anymore. Hopefully there's some slower, heavier, Sad But True/Harvester of Sorrow type stuff on the album.

As a pre Black album Metallica fan I thought it was good.

They still around?

Saw them 4 or 5 times in the 90's but I guess I just lost interest in them. I'll have to check out some of their more recent material....

Aside from Lars being mediocre, the drum sound is fricking terrible. They would have been better off programming with Drum Machine from Hell.
