Somewhere and sometime in the 90s (fans will debate exactly when and which album) the band Metallica became Alternica. They became extremely boring and all of their songs from the album Load on where--at best--forgettable. This new album kinda... sorta redeems them. Well, after their last record, St. Anger--or Anguish--or just plain St. Horrible, it is clearly a step up. Then again, you can't get much lower than that piece of completely unlistenible crap. I tried to listen to my completely legal copy of that album (no really... I promise it was completely uhhhhh legal) and could not even make it one time through. I would say this album is definitely a landmark album for their careers. As mentioned, they went from Metallica to Alternica to Trying-too-hard-ica to now.... Mediocrica.
If it wasn't for them suing their fans a few years back, I might actually have some respect for them again.
Out of 10, I give it a 6.75
For the reference I would give Ride the Lightning a 9.3, the "black album" an 8.5, and Load a 2.
A certain special someone got me this album.... Thanks a ton for thinking of me.
