"we all know that already. I just bought it for "Until it Sleeps" to put on the mp3. Disc was just as cheap as a download."

Metallica let us all down

"For me, this album signaled the end of an era. When I heard this album, I knew metal was dead and was never coming back. When it became clear that instead of leading a new metal revolution Metallica had decided to follow the alternative trend, I was truly hurt beyond words. Only Metallica had the chops and the street-cred to revive metal at that time and they made a conscious choice not to. Instead, they sounded and looked (in their videos) as if they desperately wanted to be Nirvana. For those of us who supported Metallica in the 80s when they were a no-compromise-at-any-price band, this album was like a physical wound. I will never forgive them."

Meh

"Didn't live up to my expectations. I love the earlier albums, but I feel like they've gone off on a tangent and lost some of what I love about their music. It started with the Black album and continued here. I really hope they get back whatever they lost, this just doesn't get me rockin' like their other albums."
