i'll have to give it a few more listens before judging it musically though...

i agree 100%. Also, I thought the lyrical content of the songs was not up to par compared to ALL other MEtallica albums (including the last 3). I think this album sounds like it could have been put out by a number of other metal acts. It's just not of METALLICA-quality", if that makes sense. Of course I've only listened to it about 4 times. It might get better the more I listen to it.
