Review title: Beat nuts.
Product review: In a word- uninspired. This album contains some of the worst songwriting I've heard in a long time from any metal band. There is no soul to any of the music, the drums are lame, the riffs are watered down, basically no soloing (so what exactly did Kirk Hammet even DO for this release?), and campy lyrics. Why was this album even produced? We all know Metallica doesn't need the money. My guess would be that this aging outfit still needs to feel the warmth of the spotlight.I can't blame Metallica for not being able to write good music anymore. For nearly 10 years they were hands-down the best metal band in the world, and produced 10-or-so albums that were golden, original, and genre-defining. No band can write cutting-edge material forever, and Metallica was doing it well for over 15 years.Do yourself a favor and don't buy this album. It's over, Metallica. And if you're a true metalhead, check out some of the newer bands (In Flames, Soilwork). Metal is not dead, just Metallica.
