I think you definitely heard about this record, or heard this record, but as a Metallica fan I can’t miss the opportunity to make a review.
Well actually no one knew what to expect from this record after the raw St.Anger and simpler Load and Reload no one expected Metallica to turn back to the roots and the composing of their 80th records. The whole album steps away from the standard structures and replaces them with complex pieces of killer riffs with mighty interludes and thank god great solos. Starting with That Was Just Your Life the album unleashes a wave of complex and fast thrash metal followed up by The End Of The Line. James Hetfields vocals sound much better on this record and Rob Thujillo shows the bass guitar that this band lacked for the last years. My personal favorites are All Nightmare Long and the spectacular instrumental piece Suicide And Redemption. The weakest point is The Unforgiven III, I expected more.
So basically this is the best Metallica album since The Black Album, if you still doubt give this plate some mere spins and you will get it.
