The one thing I wish they would get back to a little bit is the over driven guitar sounds. They switched it up around St. Anger I believe, and I've never really warmed up to it.

Whatever way the snare on St. Anger was recorded/mixed/played etc.....was horrible. I"m not a drummer so I'm not sure what gave it that particular sound, but it sounded like shit. like a tinney sound instead a blast of the snare.

I give them credit for playing pretty damn good music for so long. Hell, i grew tired of playing thrash metal on my guitar after about 5 years, and got more into blues and acoustic type stuff. I can't imagine playing thrash for 35+ years. I like the diversity of their catalog of music, personally. They still have more talent in their pinky fingers than alot of bands can ever hope to have in my opinion.

See the vocals on this one I feel are drowned out by the guitar, his voice appears much weaker, so at this point they should just do instrumentals where they destroy the guitar. Maybe they could land a promo on a zombie style video game soundtrack or something.
