Free Speech For The Dumb

Even though we've been drowin' ourselves into every conceivable metal sub-genre known to man/beast, Metallica is and always will be our favorite band. So when we get some juicy quotes from the guys about the sound of the next record, we gets a little excited, kinda makes our pants tighter. Bassist Bobby T. dropped this nugget on Greece's Rock Hard mag:

This album incorporates part of the dynamic and character of Master of Puppets, as well as the melodic style that people liked in the Black Album.

Holy shit! If they actually pulled that off, it would automatically be the greatest metal album of all time. We settle for the sixth best 'Tallica record. Then Kirk let loose with his own fan-baiting quote on the Australian website Krone.at:

People will see that we've kind of embraced our old vocabulary again and are using that vocabulary to express new things...I think with this album we're definitely going a little more back into our roots."

All that goodness, and then we get this in the mail today. Yay!
