Meh, they still have plenty of good songs and their live shows are still pretty awesome.
Who cares that they make something bad? Nothing good was lost...

Tell you something of the bands fan-base. I think the band should just do whatever they want and show their fans that they are a band and not the fan's *****... I would imagine that the fans should be happy over the band doing something new, but c'mon threatening the feat-artist??? It some people are just so stupid, how the fuck do they dare call them self's "fans" if they do not respect their idols decisions???
I do not like or respect Metallica as a band, but I respect them as a musicians, but their fans are just retards, who buy anything apparently... I bet even if they do not like this new album it is going to sell like water in Sahara.

Speaking as someone who can find enjoyment in St. Anger, I gotta say Metallica fans are almost always too ha--
--rrrwhat? Okay, I know death threats are too harsh, but with how passionate Metallica fans can be, I'm REALLY not surprised. That was bad. I mean, it was really bad. I acknowledge that your music has been getting slowly worse, but at least all of it was good before this.Scizophrenic Llama said:
Metallica fans you're so vicious.
Seriously though death threats are not cool and way a go to do more harm to the perception of the metal genre to onlookers. So what a band you like has taken different direction on an album that you don't like. A band isn't obligated to keep doing a style of music just to please the fans. In fact any band that does that, much like artist who pander to mainstream audiences for chart success will stagnate. And anyway from what I've heard this is just a side project (you know where many artist try new styles and experiment) and Metallica are releasing a fully fledged new album next year, though I have a seeking suspicion that the same fans who sent these death threats will also called this new album a steaming pile of shit also.
After I view listens I actually think the album is ok, not great (about 6/10 IMO). Though I feel disappointed in it still as after looking through some the lyrics and that I feel this album could have not only been a great album but a classic album if few decisions where taken differently. First and foremost I think was for Lou Reed and Metallic to do this album together, I think the album would have been so much better if Lou had done it himself and got his own band together to do it in a different musical style (I personally would have though something along the lines of the Berlin album or something Pink Floyd esque would have suited the album better). I certainly don't main that as a mark of disrespect to Metallica, I just don't think theirs and Lou's styles complement each other well, at least not on this album.

If anyone should be pissed, it's Lou Reed fans.hiks89 said:

but seriously, I've never got the death threat thing.
Like, I didn't like Rebecca Black, but I did kinda feel bad she got so many death threats.
This? The album is horrible, but death threats? no. Come now, people. Show some humanity.
