Growth and Progress? lol, growth and progress of what? Their checkbooks? Their music has been progressively weaker and tamer since
And Justice For All. Lars' drumming has become even lazier since that release (never thought it was possible).
On top of that, they're a bunch of douchebag dickheads. I know it is trite and cliche to call a band "sell out", but that's EXACTLY what they've been over the past decade or so: the poster children for sell outs.
Perhaps the new album IS a return to their roots? Perhaps they finally realized they are widely despised by much of the fanbase that used to like them? IMO, f*#$ them. I don't even listen to their old shit, let alone a "modernized" rehash. They were relevant for a short period, but denigrated and clung on way past their prim IMO.
You want to hear "progressive" or "growth" in the genre? Try the new Meshuggah. Hell, try ANY Meshuggah.
Boom tap hair bands who think they're tough shit (read: Metallica, Megadeath, et al) are dinosaurs.
