Of course I like Metallica, but none of their newer stuff.

BOK CHOY!!!
Actually, I see where you're coming from. It's like when you see some band on a magazine with the caption 'our best album yet'. Not like they're going to plaster 'yeah, it's alright, but we could have done better' on the front page.

some more news from Metclub, insight into the songwriting process for the group's forthcoming album....
Hetfield: "We don't want pretty good, we want excellent and [producer] Rick Rubin is getting us to try and achieve that," Hetfield is quoted as saying. "He's [Rick] very good at getting the essence of an artist out and bringing that back to the top again. It's the 'Master of Puppets' mentality again. You need to prove the world that you're good, you need to be hungry again — you need to [put on] a showcase that says, 'Here we are, just like the first time we did it.'"
Added Hammett: "It's about doing the best that you possibly can. I have difficulty wading through all the ideas because I'm biased — I think everything we do has a lot of merit to it. In that regard Rick Rubin is great because he will just say, 'Such and such a part is not good, so come up with something else.' He just leaves the problem up to us and we just solve it between ourselves without too much interference from his side, which is completely different from [longtime METALLICA producer] Bob Rock whose musical thinking would permeate the record. Rick Rubin leaves a lot of the musical problem solving to ourselves, which keeps it more pure."
Lars commented: "A lot of the work we did after the band nearly broke up [during the making of 2003's 'St. Anger'] was not going to be so evident on the record we made at the time, but more evident on the next record, which is the one weré making now. This has been a much more enjoyable experience, much more fun, creatively stimulating and working with Rick is helping a lot."
Ulrich told Examiner.com in October that the band's upcoming album will be "heavier" yet more "melodic" than "St. Anger". Ulrich explained, "Whereas 'St. Anger' was an exercise in over-pummeling the listener, these new songs echo some of our stuff from the '80s — long, epic journeys through different musical landscapes, heavier, but a lot more melodic." When asked whether the new songs will be shorter, in the four-to-five minute range, Ulrich said, "Well, the most of the intros are four to five minutes. I don't know — METALLICA and short songs just don't go that well together."

Sarcasm's alright. I used to love 'em, but that ended with And Justice... for me. Sorry for going off on a tangent there, but they've completely lost it.

The newer one? Never bothered. Although Garage Days Revisited was the best covers collection they did, hands down. Whiskey in the Jar was disappointing, and Turn the Page was ...............................uke:
The good ol' days have passed, boys. Tour and plat the oldies, don't bother coming out with new stuff. It's just become space filler. But it IS the best way to prevent pirating!!

Yeah, I don't see it either. I also lost a lot of respect for them after they put out "Some Kind of Monster". I'm sorry, but 2 hours of Metallica in therapy is just not entertaining at all. I'm still trying to figure out why they would've actually put that out. I'd be pretty embarrassed, myself...

Documentaries aren't made for the sake of entertainment, for that you have story films. I think you're looking at it wrong. I think it took a lot of guts for them to go to therapy (I'm saying that from experience), let alone film it and put it out there. I think that's respectable. Also, I think you guys shouldn't rule out their new album before you hear it. That's pretty prejudiced.
Im not ruling it out, im just alittle wary, i think it unlikely to be as good as say Puppets, Im still going to buy it though

That's good. Though people shouldn't expect another Master of Puppets 2 like people shouldn't expect Still Life 2 or Powerslave 2. I just want a good Metallica album. Hope I'm not disappointed in the end.
