Title: Their worst album, but still alright
Review: Its their worst album because the transition between old and new is just offputting. Its like the album is caught in a one dimensional time warp, its not consistent, its just not that good. Lars has seemed to forget how to play drums on this one and although theres some good powerful riffs on it, only a handful of songs really stand out. Enter Sandman, probably the simplest song on the album (nice wah wah textures tho in the solo) is so over-played and over-rated its just not funny and Dont Tread On Me, geez, they seemed to just chug a few power chords together and put to tape whatever they came up with, and the solo, Hammetts worst solo on any Metallica album. However shining lights include My Friend Of Misery and Wherever I May Roam.Too many people own this one, MOP and Ride deserved all the accolades and sales, this did not.Still, its Metallica, and they're the definitive metal band.
Is the review positive or negative?
