It's their first album with Rob Trujillo and it sounds like they may have a new producer or they may just produce it themselves so expect it to sound different.
I wouldnt worry about it sounding raw like St. Anger either. St. Anger was more of a statement of starting over new than it was of them thinking they were making another Master of Puppets and ****ing up. Some people hated it, some people liked it, and I've talked to alot of people who hated it at first but eventually it grew on them.
Though there were parts of it I didnt like because of the rawness the thing I really liked about St. Anger was the aggression that was missing from the Loads and even parts of the black album. St. Anger(the song) might not be the best song lyrically but one thing you have to admit is the aggression in it is vintage Metallica. Had they not gone the raw production route I really think alot of people wouldnt slag St. Anger like they do and would think it's a step forward unless of course they turned on them after the Napster case and think everything they do no matter what sucks.
