I thought it was OK.
Metal-Ayeka suffer from the same thing as any band that sticks around too long; the lose the cool underground vibe and become the establishment. That doesn't make them bad, just like Bono acting like a nob doesn't necessarily make U2 bad...
I loved Master of Puppets, And Justice For All, and the Black album. Load was OK. But I'll always listen to what they do.
BUT I STILL CAN'T STAND KIRK HAMMETTS PLAYING OR TONE!!!!!
