I liked the Black Album, loved the Loads, hated St. Anger, loved Death Magnetic...but this is truly some of the worst stuff I've ever heard. I was going to buy the album, but I don't think I will now. In fact, I would rather walk into Future Shop and buy a Justin Bieber CD than this.

Yep, I've only heard the 30 second clips and that was enough to make me not want to buy the album. Lou sounds like some drunk babbling nonsense. I understand the album is based around a play and he's telling the story but there's a way to pull off talk singing and he fails miserably. I would have much rather Metallica focused on a new album than waste their time on this side project.
