Negative Positive
Title: Hard-working leaders of traditional metal/thrash!
Review: I will have to agree with the previous review. However, the first track "Dig Me Up To Bury Me" is extremely fast. New drummer Craig Nelson, replacing a tired Kelly David Smith was a step forward in the right direction. Perhaps Metallica should consider replacing Lars. His drumming technique has reached new standards of being "tired". Ed Carlson is ripping leads again as opposed to the last several albums and A.K is singing with more passion than ever before.Most impressive of all, is their ability to remain creative in a stylistic and studio engineering point of view. See tracks like "Trash" and "My God". While sticking to their original roots, they were able on this album to keep from sounding repetitous and contrived.I'm not sure if the other guy from San Francisco even bothered to listen to the album. He doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense.
Is the review positive or negative?
