This sentence sums it all up...

The new single is to me a St Anger or Death Magnetic left over. It's just...ok.

Metallica in my opinion haven't released anything great since garage days revisited and they weren't even Metallica songs.

Bands just lose their way and can never replicate the golden years. I'm thankful for the new music from Jovi, Metallica etc but let's be honest it's nowhere near their peak and it never will be.
