[QUOTE=USMC0341]Ask anyone on this forum and they'll tell you I am a hardcore Metallica fan. I personally think St. Anger SUCKED. There were some good riffs on that album but the engineering was HORRIBLE. You can write the best songs in the world and if your engineering sucks - the album's gonna suck.
As far as Bob Rok goes - I think he ended up being pretty damn out of touch with what Metallica is all about. Hopefully Rick Rubin will get their sound back to something resembling and authentic Thrash sound (nothing wrong with getting back to a band's real roots, right?).
Anyway - that's my two cents. I'm completely ready for a new Metallica album and hope they find some fire in their bellies and do something agressive again. With bands like Lamb of God and Shadows Fall pushing the Thrash envelope - that should be all the example Metallica needs - being that they influenced most of the members of those bands anway.

BUT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN...EVER. They will never release anything relevant ever again. They blew their creative load at the end of the 80's and have been disorganized ever since.
Wyvern said:I agree but miracles can happen, isn't it?
It can happen. The same was basically true of Aerosmith and then they came out with Permanent Vacation, arguably one of their best albums. Hell, they were even deaderer than Metallica with Perry off doing his own stuff and Crespo "filling in" for him.

I saw that version of Aerosmith when I was in high school. The Crespo/Duffay Aerosmith and they were awful, mostly due to Steven Tyler being completely out of his head on whatever he was taking at the time. It was very sad, as I was a HUGE Aerosmith fan and really liked the album 'Rock In A Hard Place'. 'Rocks' is still a great rock record and their best.Wheezer said:
Metallica could still deliver a good album, but odds are against it. I'll give it a fair shot when it comes out, though I will definitely try before I buy.

Or look at Death Angel, after Osegueda left and they turn into The Organization and then Swarm they lost all metal edge in their music before the final split. Then they reunite as Death Angel (minus one of the Pepa brothers) and came with "The Art of Dying" which IMO is their best album

I agree with several posts here, mostly partially and disagree here with several posts here, mostly partially.......... Of course I am THE Almighty
Metal God and what I say is truth... right guys ? >~
How Metallica changed metal was by introducing a technicality and heaviness few could comprehend, but the hooks were so strong, that it drawed people in and then...... most people "got" it and became hooked. Other bends couldn't duplicate what they were doing, but the creative well went dry. Metallica spent an incredible amount of time on the road. The members had to fight addiction problems etc. and they couldn't create anything close to MOP, or even AJfA, so they decided to go with a simpler format. They didn't sell out, but burned out.
The commercial success of The Black album gave them the idea to stay within the "groove" oriented metal for their future releases. can you honestly blame them ? They have 50 times the fans than previously.... so they have to keep either the old set or new set happy. The new set has greater numbers.... so they decide on the latter.
As far as St. Anger....... I don't know what they were thinking. Can they ever write another thrash classic... who knows ? Do I hate them ? Absolutely not. Do I like their newer material ? Absolutely not. I hold no grudges though. If they release something I like I will buy it.

Bryant, you always have something interesting to say and alot of times I agree with you. This is one of those cases. While it is very disapointing that they stopped making thrash I think it is a waste of time and energy to hate the band or hold any sort of grudge.

As a fans we have every right to bash them. They used to bash on bands like Iron maiden for making to many videos and selling trinkets and shit like that now they are the worst ones. Watch their stupid movie they act like little cry baby kids. Metallica should be bashed no band has ever changed their sound and attitude as drastic as they did. I do give them credit for the 80s albums but they have been nothing but a simple radio band since then. Even if their new album was better than MOP I would not buy it from a bunch of posers.

Probably not attitude-wise, but over the years Priest has definitely changed their sound, quite drastically. I could name more.troopsofdoom said:

I think some more have done it: Sentenced, Amorphis, Ulver, Tiamat, Therion, Samael to mention some. Unlike Metallica (IMO) they didn't look for a more commercial sound purposely, they just either change their sound to another branch of metal or they totally divorced from metal not looking to keep mallcore kids happy.
Also unlike Metallica they are not going (as far as I know) playing their old stuff live just because the newer stuff sucks. If you are true to yourself you go all the way in a makeover/divorce.
