Holy hell in a hand bag does this album rock! Metallica is back and they mean business. Lars Ulrich has brought in the big guns with double bass in about every song, and you can literally hear Jaymz and Kirk pour their hearts out in their monster riffs that flys like fire through their finger tips. Oh and minus one bass player? Bob Rock stepped up and took care of the bass beautifully. This album shows Metallica going back to their roots, back to the "Kill em all" and "Justice" days when they were heavier than ever. You can't go wrong with the songs such as St. Anger, Frantic, and Invisible Kid. They are all SO AWESOME!! If you are a Metallica fan then this is the album for you, happy listening Metallica friends!
