Metallica's back!

the optimist understands
why the world's gone down the drain
the pessimist never bends,
constricting thoughts in vain
from the pessimist's point of view
there's nothing we can do
as I paint this picture gray and taste the pain
I'll play the optimist again...
(not metallica)

So Metallica's new single off their latest album is out.
I've been a long time fan of them for a VERY long time.
Even before the teenage angst set in.
I heard my first Metallica song in 1997 and was hooked.
But, it drifted off.
Now it's back.
And it's actually pretty freaking good.

Although it's not as heavy as they used to be, and it probably will never be as heavy as it used to be.
That's perfectly understandable.
They've got to cater to critics, hard core fans, and themselves as well.

The only way they could pull it off was by making nearly all the tracks on their latest album 7 minute epic songs. With hardcore/mainstream progressions in the mix. Their latest song is good.

Convent's install was just as good as they're last.
I spoke up for more food, but received none.

haha. only joking.
I'm a mood killer am I not
