Metallica put out a new song. New album out in November.

I've liked pretty much everything they've made with the exception of St. Anger. I just couldn't get into that album AT ALL. Not that it was horrible IMO, I just wasn't as jacked as I normally was after a Metallica release.

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.
