Title: Metallica is officially dead
Review: Metallica used to be the fastest, loudest, heaviest metal band out there. Now they're playing with a huge orchestra. I'm reminded of an interview the great Cliff Burton gave in '86 shortly before his death when he made the comment to the effect of 'why should we do something big and fancy? we're just up there doing what we do'. Well, you cant get much more of a bigger scale than this. Another problem is James Hetfield's futile attempts to be a good vocalist. The band was infinitely better when he just screamed as loud as he could. It went much better with the music. I'm sure Cliff Burton is rolling over in his grave, and Metallica is no longer a great metal band in my mind.
