The Metallica album finally arrived yesterday and it sounds good. It is better than any of the other cds they put out in the past 15 years. I think subtracting Bob Rock as producer and adding Rick Rueben (produced Red Hot Chili Peppers and Beastie Boys albums) was needed.
They are playing fast again and they added guitar solos to the songs. And, an instrumental is also played. Finally, some old Metallica influences added into this record.
It is good enough for me to buy a $100 ticket to see them play in Moline, IL in 2 months. The promos for their tour are pretty pathetic. James and Lars were recorded talking about coming out on tour and when they are to name the city and the venue, a voice over is put in saying what city they are playing in. It is sad and funny. Like a bad Japanese movie without the picture.
I also went out and bought a new book called Watch you Bleed which is about the Guns N Roses history, breakup, and the new record Chinese Democracy which has been in production for only 12 short years. But nothing has been released. I guess one song was put online and the guy was arrested for doing it and another song will be on Rock Band.

I have heard a few songs, and it is definitely weird. Sounds like old school speed metal again. The radio song is actually growing on me, just a little.
