Yes the sound has changed dramatically over time. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily...everything evolves. I'm not a huge fan of the last 3 albums by any means but everything and everyone changes....that's life. Hopefully this one is the best album in over a decade like they are claiming. Will it be another MOP or Ride the Lightening? Absolutely not. But I challenge anyone to look at it this way...if you heard one of the new songs on the radio and had no idea who it was, would you say to yourself "Hey I like this song....I wonder who it is?" I bet the answer would be yes.
And on a sidenote I saw this on a website this morning and found it to be hilarious!
Terrorists Hate 'Tallica
Did you hear that Metallica's music was being played to torture prisoners at Guantanamo Bay? Well, the band’s singer, James Hetfield, also heard that and told German television network 3SAT his thoughts on the matter.
The rocker explained that part of him is proud they chose the group’s music, noting how “Enter Sandman” was used to interrogate the man known as the 20th hijacker on September 11th and that the song brought the terrorist to tears “because he thought he was hearing the sound of Satan.”
However, Hetfield also said that part of him is bummed since he doesn’t want Metallica attached to some political statement, since they strive to be as apolitical as possible because he feels politics separates people and he wants to bring folks together.
