Personally - I absolutely love this album. Gives me hope/love/faith in new music.

The good - it's got six good songs and overall, is a big improvement over Death Magnetic.
The bad - it's too long and James's voice is irritating on most tracks.

I'd give it a 7/10.

I'm disappointed; I thought this was a thread about a new Love/Hate album.

(shrugs) Ehhh...it's OK.
I bought it, listened to it a bunch of times for the next couple of weeks, then it went on the shelf and it hasn't come off very often since then.

I thought the same thing. I'm like "Hey! I just listened to Blackout in the Red Room in the car on my way to work today!"

Good, because I felt like an idiot after I opened the thread and saw what it was really about.

It's good. But I haven't gone back to it since the month it came out. Unlike Death Magnetic, which has gotten repeated play over the years.

Can't say I love it... but it's pretty good.

I have grown to love this album. It is their best since the black album.

I think it's a great album. I voted "love" although that may be overstating it a bit. Metallica has always been my least favorite of the Big Four, but I have to admit they did a great job on this one.

Well, there's this new single from Jizzy:

As much as I like those first two L/H albums I think I'll take Metallica over this.

I love it, but to me the only time Metallica faltered was with Load/Reload.

That more-or-less echoes my thoughts. James vocals don't bother me, but I do agree that it's both an improvement over DM and that it is however too long. It probably could have been shaved down to one disc. The 3rd disc of live material seemed really unnecessary to me. I think I listened to it once.

Same here. On subsequent listens, I went about as far as that "Ronnie Rising" cover medley, and that was all.

Yea, and I already had that one from the original tribute album from whence it came.
