IMO their last album worth listening to was Justice for All. The newer ones are crap.

They started degenerating rapidly after the black album, which i think is one of the best guitar playing albums of 90s. Actually in mid 90s there were many other bands on the peak too, like Faith No More(rip) and Sepultura(rip).

Must be somekind of collective brain tumor, seems like its on terminal stage now. I would hope Metallica breaks soon, so the Kirk Hammett can start producing some solo stuff, since he is truly one of the best guitar players out there. Totally wasting his sk33lz in those crappy songs nowdays. I bet James could put out some decent stuff too, but he needs to boot his brain, he is no good with this countryish punk crap. I havent heard the new songs yet, but i know exactly how crappy they will be, total BS.

Its terrible, simply terrible.

I long for the day of Kill 'em all and Justice.... There's no anger or feeling in the music anymore. That's what made to early metallic great.... Having a bad day, put in a little kill -em all and everything was right with the world.

Now, it's just noise

Yeah, it's just awful. Terrible.

If they could only pen literary genius songs like hit the lights again. Kill Em All had so much substance in that regard… 'feeling' if you will.

No life till leather
We are gonna kick some bellybutton tonight
We got the metal madness
When our fans start screaming
It's right well alright
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again

Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights

You know our fans are insane
We are gonna blow this place away
with volume higher
Than anything today the only way
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again

Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights

With all our screaming
We are gonna rip right through your brain
We got the lethal power
It is causing you sweet pain Oh sweet pain
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again

No life till leather? Deep…

That's metal (and metallica) for ya... I'm suprised he didn't use the phrase "In the LA heat".

I remember waiting and waiting to get "...And Justice For All" and when I finally got it I thought it was great. Except for one thing. Am I the only one that thinks the mix is HORRIBLE?? I mean flat out bad final mix on that record. Guitars sound thin, the drums sound odd, especially the double-kick bass. It amazes me that such a great record could sound SOOOOOO bad. And it is especially amplified by the digital clarity of CD. Anyone else think so? The Black album sounds like audio perfection compared to AJFA, of course, Bob Rock is clearly better at it than Fleming Rasmussen.

I actually got to meet Cliff and the gang in '85, on the Lightning tour. Talk about being an prettythanghole....but, hey, that was Cliff!!

oh my, I just watched the video. What is with that dedication at the end to all the murderers and rapists in prison. Bad taste, and bad move...
