I don't read music reviews so this is all purely my opinion...

I don't give a crap about the whole music pirating thing, I don't think a band wanting to be reimbursed for their work are "selling out". I respect bands that do it for the art but wtf... people gotta eat too (and make the payments on the benzies).

I think their recent efforts were not that great musically, their playing didn't have IT, the music itself didn't talk to me (you know, grab you by the jewels and not let go until the last beat was struck... basically what I loved about all their early stuff). St. Anger had a hint of their early power, hopefully they're SERIOUSLY trying to get that edge back. Since they lost it there has not been a band out there that has matched their tight playing, solid writing, and raw power... at least in the heavy/thrash arena.

JMO.
