I haven't listened to Metallica in over ten years and I'm pretty curious about St. Anger. It's supposed to be brutal, but we'll see. I love the fact that Robert Trujillo from Suicidal Tendencies is playing bass now, it should give them some much needed edge.
I hope the new Dismember is nothing like "Hate Campaign", that album just seemed like one very long song. (There are no pauses between tracks, making it confusing what track you're listening to... especially since every song sounds the same.) The lyrics ruled though, almost rascist and nazi like. Not like that's cool or anything.
The new Macabre will shit on everything though. And I can't wait to hear Damnation and Hatecrew Deathroll (should be coming in the mail this week).
