Query: The Thing That Should Have Never Been

I am very sad. Very very sad. At first, I thought Metallica was going to return to thier roots and rock harder than ever. Instead, they recorded an album that sounds worse than my 4-track cassette demos that were water damaged. WHAT GIVES?That drum sound is horrid. The snare rings hideously. I can appreciate the tuned down approach but give me a friggin break! Not one guitar solo, Jame's voice sounds so unenthuzed. It's no wonder Jason Newstead bailed from this unit of what was a once great band. I am afraid that they failed miserably in thier attempt to rediscover themselves. This must be the end of Metallic.....uh!
