Crowley, that was an utterly weak ass retort.
Sloats - I bought both Load and Reload myself. First Metallica albums where I actually skip tracks. Blasphemous, IMO. But still, songs like "Bleeding Me" "Outlaw Torn"...these are vintage Metallica.
I had reservations about hearing anything else from them, nervous even, fearing that the newest album would possess more suckiness than the Loads.
Then I heard the St. Anger single, the title track.
It kicked my ass.
I bought the album. It kicked my ass some more. I accept what Metallica sounds like today because its what Metallica sounds like TODAY.
If I wanted to hear Master or Justice, I'd put those albums on.
Besides, have you seen Metallica live at all lately? They'd kick Maiden's ass I'm sure.
