Metallica Finds a new Bassist - This should be interesting

I thought the Black Album was really good for the most part, And Justice for All blew

I actually feel the opposite. I thought Justice was a solid album, it just tended to be a bit overdrawn at times - but musically it kicks ass. The black album was ok at first, but if you really sit down and listen to it, you ask yourself "what the fuck happened to these guys". Then you look at the producer credit of Bob Rock, and you get your answer. I remember seeing an interview with him and he said he wanted to try to bring them into the mainstream - he apparently succeeded, but the reason they were good was because they weren't mainstream.

I'll probably give it a listen, but if it's anything like the shit they've spewed the last 10 years or so, I won't be impressed.
