I wasn't saying The Human factor shouldn't exists though I'd say it's my least favorite Howe album. I'd also agree as a whole Metal Church withHowe is better and I probably lean toward shows as a better vocalist but I might go with the debut as my fav album by them. It's a tough choice for me between that and Blessing in disguise.

I haven't herd XI yet, but if it's anything like Generation Nothing than it's probably nowhere near as good as Dystopia.

Howe is back and as we've discussed sounds like an album you would've expected the band to release back in their prime. And no Howe's vocals have not weakened like David's did on his return.

I hope they keep it up. Can't wait for Voivod to release another album after Target earth and Post Society.

Of course, im more of a fan of the underground scene anyways. It's just that Metallica will probably chart at #1 regardless of how good the album will be. It will undoubtedly sell more than Dystopia and probably wont be half as good, and Dave will be fuming up a storm while trying to act composed.
And nice avatar btw. Joe is the shit.

I agree and its something that really gets on my tits. When the new Metallica album comes out there will certainly be plenty of talk about it just because it's Metallica while their are plenty of other oldschool Thrash bands having much better comebacks in fact if I recall Overkill has been doing really good lately.
I just think it's funny how Metallica are by far the most popular Thrash act and many will argue they are the greatest metal band ever yet I'm not just saying this because I'm not a fan in the first place but they seem to be having the most trouble as far as making a decent comeback.
Oh and thanks love yours too! I do prefer Slowly we rot but Cause of death is also a top tier death metal album imo and has one of the coolest album covers ever!

Have you ever watched their documentary 'Some Kind of Monster'? After watching it, I realized that they were a ruined band who were incapable of creating any music worth a damn anymore. Most poignant for me was the scene where Lars was whining incessantly about having to play a few complicated drum parts again in the studio. At this point I realized that they havent been a genuine band for years, and are basically still together so that they can reap whatever royalties possible from their music. I think that the delay in releasing the new album comes from lack of necessity; they dont need to because they already make enough money. The album is only to shut up the naysayers while also being a cash grab. Surely my view is cynical, but I cant really view the guys otherwise after seeing this film. They havent released a single bit of music worth writing home about in over 20 years, despite never breaking up. God damn do I hate Metallica.

I saw that film too and came to the same conclusion. I didn't end up hating them for it - the film was pretty funny on the whole, almost like a fly on the wall comedy (except even better because it's actually real). But you do get a sense that they're creatively finished. I remember one part where they're discussing whether some of the riffs they wrote for St Anger are shit, and they've lost the ability to even tell.

I watched like the first 10 minutes of it and I think I quit watching out of disgust (That could be me making up memories though). I do think I hate Metallica as well but I feel odd saying that. One being that it's not entirely for musical reasons but also they do have some songs I like a lot especially on Ride the lightning but even with RTL I don't find it a solid album from beginning to end. I appreciate that Master of Puppets feels like an ambitious album but it seems like it looks better on paper if you will. I find I enjoy the songs on Master of Puppets a lot more when just listening to them in my head.
Also this may be beating a dead horse but I do really hate AJFA.

I think that Kill 'em All rules and Ride the Lightning is almost as good. The next two also have some good stuff. I could leave the rest. I've never even bought any of them after ...And Justice for All because nothing grabbed me when listening with friends.

Honestly watch it again, their bitchiness and pettiness is so hilarious I could almost believe it were scripted if it weren't for the fact that it completely damaged their credibility. Also Lars Ulrich's dad is great.

the first half of LOAD is uniformly better than virtually everything on the alternately tryhard/trynothardenough cash-in that is the black album.

Do you think it's worth my time? I am very skeptical of that album based on the songs that I remember.
