 Lemmy didn’t seem to mind the $250k royalty check, though, so whatever…

Lemme and the boys also did their share of Metallica tunes... It's a symbiotic relationship such as the clownfish to the anemone 🐟🪸

Still haven't heard the album enough to form a real opinion. I have to listen to something several times. And often Something I didn't like at first really grows on me. They did a movie theater listening party the night before it came out. The sound in my theater wasn't great. Heard it again today and it sounded a lot better. Gotta get some time to listen to it on a good system.

To me it's not the quality of the sound but the song writing itself... same ol machine gun rat a tat tat shit, nothing new... it needed something different to break it up, like a "Enter Sandman" or "One" type song... sounds like one person "same person" wrote all the songs without other members input collaboration involved

Lux Aterna is the strongest track~

Still better than Reload, St Anger or Lulu tho~

Personally, I liked Hardwire much better

I watched every one of those Jimmy Kimmel performances, and I've listened to every Metallica album as they were released.  I'll listen to this one too but what I've heard so far is so generic (or as Lars says "stock") I don't think it's going to appeal to me.  My collection ends with the Black Album, and my favorite is still Ride the Lightning.  Remember when people used to describe bands like Boston as "corporate rock"?  Except for the first few albums, Metallica sounds like "corporate thrash" to me.  It just lost its edge.  I'm glad they can still play like that at 60-ish though.
