What are your guys thoughts on the new Metallica album...

Saw some footage of them in the recording studio... it sounded kinda good so lets hope that Rick pulls it off.

St. Anger was such a pile of crap that I've almost lost all hope for this once great band... I'm hoping that Rob will add some fresh fire but meh, I'm not so sure. Thoughts?

Well, my inital opinion was skeptical, scince i figured it would be rehashed Load/Reload tunes, but i dunno, this sounds like some Ride the lightning mixed with the black album, it might be ok. And i'll buy it, just to support the band.
