The Metal Thread

[2Stonedbirds]

Always felt like Stuck Mojo is the only rap metal band that brought the goods, and their new album Here Come the Infidels is definitely badass.

got my Avenged Sevenfold / Disturbed / Chevelle tickets today. Very excited to finally see Chevelle in concert

[Senator Clay Davis]

Horrible album name, horrible cover art, double disc. Hmmm......



First song is....alright I guess. I do have to say I never realized how grating James vocals have become. He sounded better as a drunk

[AC]

Yeah that cover is insane. It looks like something I would have made in my Jr. High computer class thinking it was super cool.

[Erick Estrada]

I love the album cover. Compared to most Metallica album covers it has a bit of thought put into it. The single is kind of meh. I just don't think the boys have that edge anymore.

[2Stonedbirds]

They haven't had that edge since Mustaine left the band.

*ducks*

[Senator Clay Davis]

Lol "left the band" is quite the interesting way to put it. I'm guessing that's not how Dave would frame it.

[Erick Estrada]

IMO they should go back to doing another masses friendly album like Black rather than pretend they are still a speed metal band.

[dammage79]

I like it. That's the sound that made them good in the first place. It's about time they went back and revisited their roots. Black album and onward was a no go for me.

Maybe I heard a different song but to me this this was the exact same tired stuff they have put out post Black. No creative riffs, mediocre lyrics, Lars pretending he's still a kid, etc. Their Garage Days Revisited stuff is miles more creative than this generic stuff.

I'm guessing the colouring rainbow colours are a fill in for a holographic foil of some kind. Or at least I hope so, because the glitch art logo & type is right up my alley.

Next time I'll post a flow chart of the events in question as to not cause confusion.

[codynw]

That Metallica song is a steaming turd. And there's another 77 minutes on the album?

lol

I'm no Metallica hater, I'm just one of those people who likes to pretend they broke up in 1990.

[codynw]

And even when Metallica was good, Lars held them back. Such a mediocre drummer.

lol, if you say so. Non/Ex-fans if they don't like something will just say they don't care for it and maybe state their reason or just not bother commenting at all. Haters will throw over-exaggerated jabs every chance they get.

That wasn't referring to your post Erick. I read your post not long after you posted it and I was cool with it. I actually agree that Hetfield could have put more thought into the lyrics even though overall I like the song.

I didn't over exaggerate anything. That song stinks

Here's a 30+ year old thrash band doing it right.
