You can skip listening to the new Metallica stuff. This picture pretty much says how it sounds. They can claim to have taken Rick Rubin’s advice and tried to get back to the mindset they had in the mid-eighties, but I don’t think shopping at Armani in flip flops is going to do it.
That’s pretty funny, although Hetfield has never given a shit what people think.
I do like the new album though, easily their best since 1991.
