Perfect addition to Kill ‘em all, Ride, Master, Justice and Black. Ya this album kicks fuckin’ ass. The horsemen are back!
For the record, I DO like the other albums, I’ve always found something good in everything they played…

Totally agree with this - Lanegan has been doing some great stuff the last few years, from Queens to his last solo album Bubblegum, to the collaborations with Isobel Campbell, to the Gutter Twins.

I hadn’t heard anything about this EP till a day after it was released which is weird in the interweb era but a nice surprise nevertheless.

The album is absolute rubbish.
It has the same trash metal riff all the way through every,long,song.
The vocals are mostly gruff shouting.
The producer decided to create as much noise as possible,forgetting that some times a song needs to be tuneful.
This is by far the worst album I have heard this year.
They might have stopped the drugs but I’d definitely need some if I had to listen to this again.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion. Isn’t everything subjective anyway? Maybe people are more upset with the way Britney said it than what she said. The only thing I don’t understand that much is that Britney really liked their old stuff as opposed to FTM, but then puts them down for stuff on The Block that sounds old-school/90s.
I do have to say, after listening to this album, that I’d like it better if they’d tone down all the themes about sex. Lyrics aside, I actually find most of the music on this album pretty catchy. And I love their vocals (especially the beginning of “Twisted,” and there’s one part in “Looking like Danger” where Jordan does a nice really high falsetto). My faves are:

Click, Click, Click
Single
Summertime
2 in the Morning
Stare at You
One Song
Officially Over
Close to You (exclusive only with iTunes purchase - still figuring out a way I can get this, because it’s a beautiful song. Currently on YouTube.)

For the songs I didn’t list, I really liked the music if not the lyrics.

Whatever you say, hippie. Go give away some free music and I’ll see you down at the fucking coffee shop after your long day of making quilts. Metallica should be praised for taking on this crap, but instead, people like you have no respect for anything sacred. You should bow down to bands like this, who mastered genres and dared to give a shit. Your free music crapolla is ruining the industry because we don;t have any more big bands comming out. Before, you had a band that would sell 5 million records and bam, you knew they were the next big thing. Now you have all these fucking dink bands like panic at the disco and fucking arcade fire or some other crap. I wouldnt know them if they bumped into me on the street. There’s no more rock stars, just college dropouts with no charisma. Get your head out of your ass.

how about the Radiohead made a ton of money with an internet release, and then so did Trent Reznor fad.And if you think the internet made radio suck you must be deaf. dumb, or both. Radio slots were being bought long before the internets was giving people more options. What made radio suck was a monopolistic stranglehold held by the RIAA and their labels, disallowing anyone not on their roster to get their music out. What they did to the industry was shameful and illegal on all counts. Sony Rootkits anyone? yeah, I’m sure that was the internets that made those, not Sony. Don’t get pissed off because your industry got out smarted by some kids, beat them at their own game. the internet is killing the RIAA, but the INDUSTRY is doing just fine.

I agree with the last comment.

There are a lot of bands who are offering way better metal today. Metallica can’t quite be that benchmark metal band today. But they do appreciate the bands carrying the torch like Lamb of God, by inviting them on tour.

Unfortunately there is a time for most bands when no matter what they do, they cannot be culturally relevant. A lot of people think it was when the Black Album came out or after that record for Metallica. But they did maintain credibility through new fans up until the Napster incident and the St. Anger shitshow.

Sure they’ll sell out arena’s worldwide, I might be at a couple of the shows. But I think Metallica officially moved into the nostalgic category years ago, and like the Rolling Stones, U2, Aerosmith and more, their new records are just hype machines for the sell out tours. The new music doesn’t matter, it is just there to have an excuse to tour, so the tour is a little different than the last time they came around. Metallica’s music simply has nothing left to say, but some of the songs from this new record are bearable.

I’ve listened to it about 4 times now. Pretty good, certainly way better then St Anger. But honestly almost all of these songs just were out their welcome.
If they had kept them a little leaner they might sound a little meaner.

I respect them as a legacy band but there are tons of younger bands that are just making way better metal.

Hats off to them for taking The Sword and Lamb Of God on tour with them.

I love the “cash in” and “sell out” labels that people give to this band. Yes, the napster thing over and over, rearing it’s ugly head. There were plenty of other bands involved in that as well by the way, look it up. But regardless of how much money the band has, I’d like to see you go into a studio for a whole year or two of your life, put your heart and soul into something, let your words and feelings bleed out into music, and then have people steal it. The fact is that nothing in this world is free, so if you give of your time and energy and show people this personal side of yourself, hell yeah you should get paid. Everyone else is! Despite their millions, they spend more time in the studio to perfect their craft than most bands today. They also have families, friends and children. Why should other people get their product for free? I would want as much $ as possible, so I could help all my loved ones live comfortably. Your napsters have ruined the record industry, and are a big reason why MTV and radio play sucks today. Any asshole can put his shitty emo song out there and have it play to the masses of idiots downloading music song by song. The great thing up until the late 90’s was that you HAD to buy a cd in order to hear the songs. Now, its gimme gimme gimme, we get whatever we want, without getting to really hear the band. It’s bullshit. Also, it’s important to point out that bands make, I believe anywhere from 65 cents to $1.75 per cd sold. It is peanuts to them, metallica makes their money through touring and merch. It was about principle, and the fact that napster was bullshit and illegal. Let it go. They deserve praise because they have integrity and don’t give a shit if it’s not popular. Cash in on a fad? 10 years ago they were hated and knew it. So were they trying to cash in on that fad? The “hey, I really wanna fuck up my career and lose half my fan base” fad?……… Fuck off

I just can’t get past the whole Napster thing. Plus, these greedy goons have done some downright shitty things to their fans during tours (my girlfriend once sat in a parking lot for nine hours trying to get out of a Metallica concert booked at a fairground with only one two-lane road in service). I just can’t get over the inherit douchiness of their personalities.

That being said, the track embedded on the page would have been awesome if it came out a year after the black album, when I was about 13.

Sigh, I guess I’ve just outgrown them.
