Then bought the CD and played it in my CD Player and the guitars ARE compressed as fuck. It makes my ears hurt.

Regardless, the songs are pretty fun to listen to. I mean, it’s Metallica right? But the solo’s may be back, the riffage is faster than Black, but I feel like Hetfield’s lyrics blow goats right now. I thought it would be fixed now that the lyrics are no longer collaborated, but they suck. What happened to cool Stories he wrote?

Oh, Lars still hates us all for downloading his music.

There seems to be less and less of these event albums these days, unless it’s just because my own taste in music has changed.

I like the new album, I don’t love it, but it sure as hell beats everything since Black.

Two things.

1) I believe you just elicited a “lol” from me. “irl”.
2) I had not considered the ‘event’ aspect of the release, and I find it quite endearing. Tool have the same effect.
