This is the sound of Anger
2 of 2 found this helpful I first heard snippets of this at Donnington a few years ago. it struck me as the sound of a once awesome band that had lost it's way and was following the "down-tuned, no solo's" route of all the rubbish nu-metal stuff out at the time.
After watching "some kind of monster" it's easy to see why this album sounds so furious.
Not since Pantera's "far beyond driven" have I heard an album of such brooding intent.
I love Metallica, seen them more times than have had hot dinners, grew up with Master / Ride / And justice as the background to my early teens. After load / Reload, which for any other band would be awesome albums I was a bit hesitant with this album.
It does drag on a bit in places but once you cut through that if you want to listen to something when your in a bad mood this sums it up perfectly.
