I think I agree Spawny. Along with the pressure, all the shit that they have gone through in the last 2 years, and all the criticism they recieve, I think they will bounce back with something agressive. Even thought the title sounds a little cheesey, it shows promise for some more agressive music.
I think Metallica have been unfortunate that they have done a little project that was a change in style, and been canned for it. The Load/Re-Load era was ment to be one album that was a change in style, but all the shit they got caught up in spread it across two albums, and delayed their return to form even longer. The only difference between them doing something different and say Megadeth doing 'Risk' was that there has been over 10 years between the albums on either side of it, where as Megadeth bounced back quicker with TWNAH, so people sorta forgot about it.
