Lars must be pissed

Again, I'm not targeting you. Bluntly speaking, we seem to have very similar viewpoints up until this moment (I genuinely love about half of Load and Reload and think a decent bit of St. Anger would be better if it weren't terribly produced and mixed, as evidenced by decent live versions). Let's not turn this into a thing. I am not trying to offend you.
I see the matter differently. I give them enough credit as musicians that I don't assume it just took them twelve years to get the point. I find myself believing that if they were simply U-Turning because of a failed direction, they would've done it a lot sooner.
As it stands, I like the new album a good bit. I'm less interested in the politics and the personas behind it all and more interested in whether or not the album appeals to me. It does so, so I'm satisfied.
all_outta_angst:
I think the new album is great, probably the best since the Black Album. I think the drums sound alright. Lars has NEVER been a particularly mind-blowing drummer, but on here he definitely gets the job done. Hetfield said that they weren't trying to go back to their "old" sound but rather capture the essence of Metallica as a band, and I think they did that. As for them selling out, c'mon, they did that a long time ago. Whatevs.
Be My Head:
MY complaints with the album are more that the drums are TUNED like shit, that has NOTHING to do with Lars. That is his drum tech's fault for making it sound like shit. And the shitty production is Rick Rubin's fault, for, being a shite overrated producer.
