Found it at Amazon.com. It is called St. Anger. Release date is June 10.

As an ironic side note, as said previously, Rob Trujillo from Ozzy's band has joined Metallica.
And his replacement in Ozzy's band?............Jason Newsted!

I agree with knatzz's thesis message #21. I am partially responsible for aiding and abetting the rise of this band including crybaby rock star Lars Ulrich and it just makes me sick. The early stuff they did was cool but their days as a band were basically over after their final release And Justice for all, as far as I am concerned.

I don't feel that bad about it cause it's not like I was saying seig heil while bodies where being piled like cords of wood, I was only helping to support a band that turned into a bunch of A**hs, its not like I was supporting a regime that participated in genocide, (a strange analogy) but when I see these guys do interviews and say all sorts of crap like James Crapfield saying” the people who support us are just loser metal heads."As well as other comments like the one I just mentioned,it sure makes me want to see their fall.

That is ironic indeed!

Newsted is from Kalamazoo Michigan...which is odd on its own.....

No, I would guess Asimo is merely correcting you.
Jeez, don't be so melodramatic.

Ok, it's not much, but for anyone interested at this site:

You can hear a 30 second preview of the new tune "Frantic". All of the tunes that I heard are easily this heavy.

You know... I agree with a little of this, and a little of that. No question Metallica was great in the beginning. But so are all bands!

We're talking about metallica being great in the beginning...um how many years ago what that??? I know I was about 15 when I had started listening to them... Ummmm I'm 32 now! That's a freaking long time folks. Hell.. I'm not as 'hard' as I used to be either. Some of the stuff I used to listen to back then, whooo...it'd give me a headache now. But the point is...

Like people change with years... our styles change, our tastes change, our entire outlook changes. God, back then I actually liked "SLAYER"!!! You couldn't pay me to listen to that. Metallica...even though they are mainstream these days, I do still like them. Sell out? Maybe...to a point. But if they stayed as they were, they would never have survived. There has to be change...or there's nothing.
Sorry I still love Metallica.

Look at Ozzy in the beginning... and look at Ozzy in his later albums. MAJOR CHANGE! Majorly softened! However... Ozzy is still the masta! He's not a sellout...he just changed.

Hell look at Manson... the first time I heard his stuff, I thought "What the ...." Thought I should call a priest to bless my house after that (Not really but you get my point) Now he's mellow compared to his first album. They all change.

As for them touring with Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park...
What's wrong with that? I think that would be a kick ass show. Limp, has a couple of decent tunes...and I really like a couple of Linkin's tunes...

Well, i've been reading everyones post, and then i kinda forgot about this whole thread for a very long time. the summer's over, and their new album is out.

What do I think? well, St. Anger was a complete disappointment. their live show...well, they can still give their fans enough energy to love 'em. I was never such a great fan of them. As far as metal goes, i'd say they were to most hardcore American metal band back in the day.

Sellouts? well, i never actually think of bands as sell-outs unless they just appear, and make themselves allbig and showy with the help of MTV. (Good Charlotte). I really don't think that a couple of guys screaming about stupid little problems in life is very artistic but u know what? people like 'em, and I can't change that. Unfortunately, some of you guys took me very seriously on this term , (i.e. hippy ). sry, didn't mean to anger anyone, but i was just using this term because that is what i heard in gossip around the neighborhood.

Finally, Napster. Well, napster is long-gone, and I believe the new hot topic will be Kazaa, or the RIAA cracking down on it's users. I believe that Kazaa is a way to spread music, and that should be EVERY artist's dream, to have their ART spread throughout the world. if it weren't for programs such as Kazaa, i would have never heard of great bands such as Dredg (a peculiar mix of an odd 'Radiohead' and a quiet, artistic 'Tool').

I'll leave it at that.

at least there were no "i saw them live with Cliff on the bass" posts yet

Just couldn't resist.

I saw them live with cliff, hehe. Just before he died. Opened for Ozzy (the drunk b&^#!%*) in Knoxville. General admission, no floor seats. Kicked ass. Has to be up there as one of the best shows I ever saw. What was interesting is that one of the roadies was playing rythym since James had his arm in a cast from a skateboard accident, and it was still a great show.

Metallica has had SOME kind of influence on music today.

you are right. ALOT of artists thank Metallica for the type and direction of the music they produce.

I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't copy the songs from the St Anger cd I *bought*. The cd made my CD-R invisible to the system.
