[Displaced Flames fan]

I don't understand why people get so uptight about Metallica and their supposed 'sell out'. I prefer the old stuff, for sure. I didn't like what I heard of St. Anger (I don't own it) and I am not a huge fan of most of the eponymous album, but I thought Load and Reload were largely excellent. I think S & M is simply brilliant. Metal and a full orchestra is a match made in heaven.

I just don't get why if you like some of the new stuff you can't be a true Metallica fan. I think I will buy this record. Sounds good so far.

Personally....

1. Master of Puppets
2. And Justice For All
3. Ride The Lightning
4. Kill 'em All
5. Load/Reload (tie)
6. Black album
7. St Anger
