Come back Lurch!

I've only heard the first single, and it was kind of ehh, but I'm probably going to buy this new one. That will make the first time I've bought a new Metallica album since 1998. I'm excited for some reason, I don't even know why.

Yea everything has been "ehhh," thus far. I'm happy for the fanboys though. I just cant justify listening to this new shit beyond a cursory glance given that I hardly replay the classics nowadays. The band grabbed my attention for a good 2yrs during my teens. Normally I tend to lead myself towards living in the past. Metallica is the exception.

I never know why I pay Metallica for CDs that aren't the first 4 albums, but whatever. Well maybe 5 because the Black Stuff was my first CD ever, and that album has aged HORRIBLY but was important to my youth. I bought the Hard Wired Thing when it came out and really do enjoy it for a rockin' good time. Silly that they made it a double album that would fit on a single disc, especially since Single Disc Load is longer by a few minutes.

Anyhow I bought that there Death Magnetic last week, and again, I don't know why. But I found a really good use for it: when you are driving a ragtop Jeep with howling mud tires, that shitty brickwalled mix really cuts through and makes for an enjoyable drivin' / rockin' experience. This is the first and last time I will ever say something positive about Volume Wars.

This post has no value whatsoever.

Addiction is some real shit. The guy has clearly been miserable inside since the late 80's, despite being incredibly rich/powerful/famous.

rich/powerful/famous.

none of these words help vs his friend of misery
I don't think alcoholics ever stop being alcoholics but with willpower, help and luck they may keep it under control
