St Anger was shit. It seemed like they were trying to be a new band. Death Magnetic is just some old dudes playing hard rock. I liked it.
I know some one who likes playing guitar and he thinks some of the G-tar work in DM is quite good. I know it's to each his own and all that. But I just can't stand DM at all. It just sounds like a heavier Load and Reload to me. Jimmy boys vocals are one major fun killer. He's a joke now when it comes to singing. Back in the day he was bareable but today he is unbareable with his "new style" of vocals. "Hey hey hey yeah-he-yeah" get real Jimbo.
