You know, that is a pretty accurate description.

Ok, I'm pretty disappointed, but I wasn't expecting much. Sounds like most of the tripe that came out during that time period that I hated. At least they don't need 9 members to sound that crappy.Jeff H said:

I think the title track is actually the best one on the album. The rest of the songs are similar but worse.
new metallica sucks a big fat hairy one. i think james should go back to drinking honestlyikeepfish said:Ok, I'm pretty disappointed, but I wasn't expecting much.

Any recommendations based on that would be appreciated.

Heh I really need to get into my old comp somehow (it barely works long enough for me to pull files). I do have The Faceless, Spawn of Possession, Atheist, Cynic (old Cynic), St. Vitus, Sleep, King Diamond, Exodus (deadly schools!), Dark Angel on there.Essegi said:Technical death : The Faceless, Psycroptic, Spawn of Possession, Viraemia, Demilich, Gorguts, Theory In Practice, Martyr, Atheist, Cynic, Hour Of Penace, Fleshgod Apocalypse (last 2 are Italian and pretty higly regarded from what i've read, not yet really listened...).
I don't know well all that ones, i remember i like them btw.
Doom: Cathedral, Solitude Aeturnus, St Vitus, Black Hole, maybe Tyr and Doomsword. Sleep is a stoner and quite cool!
Merciful Fate (that is cool!)? King Diamond.
Thrash? Exodus!!! Forbidden, Invocator, Section Brain, Ripping Corpse, Annihilator, Dark Angel, Watchtower, Coroner, Mekong Delta, Anacrusis, Toxic, Realm, Agent Steel (not really thrash, but cool!).
Sucidal Tendencies? Dirty Rotten Imbeciles.
Doom and death? Paradise Lost.

How To Tell The Difference Between Metal Genres
* POWER METAL
The protagonist arrives riding a white unicorn, escapes from the dragon, saves the princess and makes love to her in an enchanted forest.
* THRASH METAL
The protagonist arrives, fights the dragon, saves the princess and f**ks her.
* HEAVY METAL
The protagonist arrives on a Harley, kills the dragon, drinks a few beers and f**ks the princess.
* FOLK METAL
The protagonist arrives with some friends playing accordions, violins, flutes and many more weird instruments, the dragon falls asleep (because of all the dancing). Then all leave…….. without the princess.
* VIKING METAL
The protagonist arrives in a ship, kills the dragon with his mighty axe, skins the dragon and eats it, rapes the princess to death, steals her belongings and burns the castle before leaving.
* DEATH METAL
The protagonist arrives, kills the dragon, f**ks the princess and kills her, then leaves.
* BLACK METAL
The protagonist IS the dragon, dwells in the heart of the night with in a castle full of hellhounds and eternal flames. He kills the sassy knight, f**ks the noble steed and sacrifices the princess to Satan.
* GORE METAL
The protagonist arrives, kills the dragon and spreads his guts in front of the castle, f**ks the princess and kills her. Then he f**ks the dead body again, slashes her belly and eats her guts. Then he f**ks the carcass for the third time, burns the corpse and f**ks it for the last time.
* DOOM METAL
The protagonist arrives, sees the size of the dragon and thinks he could never beat him, then he gets depressed and commits suicide. The dragon eats his body and the princess as dessert. That’s the end of the sad story.
* PROGRESSIVE METAL
The protagonist arrives with a guitar and plays a solo of 26 minutes. The dragon kills himself out of boredom. The protagonist arrives to the princess’ bedroom, plays another solo with all the techniques and tunes he learned in the last year of the conservatory. The princess escapes looking for the ‘HEAVY METAL’ protagonist.
* GLAM METAL
The protagonist arrives, the dragon laughs at the guy’s appearance and lets him enter. He steals the princess’ make up and tries to paint the castle in a beautiful pink colour.
* NU METAL
The protagonist arrives in a run down Honda Civic and attempts to fight the dragon but he burns to death when his moronic baggy clothes catch fire.
* NU METAL (2)
The prince arrives with a ultra noise-gated, detuned guitar, plays a 1 chord, syncopated riff and raps out a song about freedom and inner self. The dragon raises his eyebrow and breathes fire upon him with nonchalance...
* GRINDCORE
The protagonist arrives, screams something completely undecipherable for about two minutes and then leaves…
* Gothic Metal
The princess in a velvet costume starts singing soprano. The protagonist completes the duet when he shows up, they sing while the dragon plays the flute. Suddenly the dragon swallows up the pipe and accidentally scorches the beauty and the protagonist, and then he suffocates to death. All their souls are damned in hell for eternity.
* Industrial Metal
The protagonist arrives wearing greasy overcoat, makes an obscene gestures towards dragon, and gets escorted out of fairy tale land by security guards.
* Speed Metal
Suddenly there is a short solo, the dragon is confused; someone’s screaming weird stuff; the princess realizes she’s been deflowered; the dragon and the princess are still looking for the one who caused this.
* Christian Metal
The protagonist rides in on his way home from Church and sings a mushy power ballad to the dragon about how much Jesus loves him and that the dragon should turn to Him. The Dragon is immediately converted, and when the princess wants to ‘thank’ the protagonist he replies, “Sorry, but I don’t believe in having sex before marriage.”
* SYMPHONIC METAL
The protagonist enters the lair of the dragon with a full choir and orchestra, and the princess sings notes so high-pitched that she makes the dragon go deaf. The dragon tries to burn them all to death, but all of the members of the choir sing so loudly and unified, that it creates a protective bubble, which only grows in strength from the lead guitarist’s solo later in the song, and the flames bounce back and the dragon ends up killing itself while everyone escapes.
