this album is just an expansion on ST anger.. its not very good.. what has happened to his phrasing of the lyrics?? its like he is just blurting everything out in the same irritating way.
This is st anger + solos and standard tuning.. that's it. Nothing new or imaginative. The solos are all stock boring runs, what happened to the creativity that was in the solos of old days?? I'm not saying it has to be the same as the 80s Metallica, but their was real creativity their.
I will happily delete this from my computer and never hear it again. I'm glad i downloaded this because i would have bought it and then i would have been annoyed!! I don't think that downloading harms good music, if their is an album i download that i like i will happily buy it, but if people are insistent on putting out sub-par albums then I for one am going to download it first to have a listen and if its not good enough then they should have put out a better album then i would have bought it.
Not like the lyrics on, say, MoP or Justice, huh ;)
Master!
Master!
Hets always had a blurty lyrical style, and if anything hes much closer to old school on this than before. See - see judas kiss, for example.
The solos are godawfull, thats true. I did think that Hammet pulled one good solo out of the bag - Unforgiven 3. But then I found out that it was het, so I reverted to my previous opinion - Hes one of the worst lead guitarists in metal.
The ONLY points of similarity I can see with stanger are the sections were theres maybe more repetition than required, and some disjointed changes. But those could be said of Justice too.
I aint telling you to like it mate. Hell no. But I dont think youre making a fair comparison.
