They could also do something completely shocking and do something new that is also good. What an AMAZING concept!
My point isn't that they can't do something good, but that they haven't. That's a major difference, and I'm not at all sure why the attitude seems to be that I'm required to like new stuff because I'm putting them in a ridiculous catch-22 if I don't. This stuff is generic Metallica-sounding metal, which is inferior to their old songs, even if it's worlds beyond St. Anger and is better than the drek some other bands try to pass off as music. Either way, as I've said and will keep saying, it's not different from their old stuff and it's not better than their old stuff, so why would I waste money buying a CD when I will get more enjoyment out of listening to their old, better music?
