I was "surprised" when I heard Load... never heard Garage Inc., hated most of Reload and the first time `i heard St. Anger was all mixed up... so I didn't like it. Year rolled and one day I found it in discount and said..."hell with it I'm gonna buy it..." so I did, and sit down to listen... beyond being a over produced, pro tooled over the top... I got to like it and kind of undestand it.
I don't think Metallica is a bad band... they didn't have the best of their times in music since a long time and agree... I don't like all their albums...old stuff is cornerstone metal... but they still to me one of the biggest ones.
I trully hope they get a new album... a good one, and still waiting to catch them live on Mexico...
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat.
