Download or find St.Anger ( their newest album) Its not super good, but its not horrible IMO.

They tried too hard to be how they used to be and sound how they used to sound.

Still "Frantic" is the best track on that album IMO.

st.anger is 'talerable' at points. but the album sucks. they tried to sound like they did long ago but failed. most of that CD i cant even say is 'music'

Neutral Milk Hotel

Just because Metallica isn't metallica anymore. And, I've never been a huge fan. I like some of their older stuff but I did listen to their latest album and it really really sucked. Plus, they were the most vocal against napster.

Neutral Milk Hotels "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" is one of the greatest albums of all time. This is no contest...in NMH's favor. Metallica was OK, but they are really not anything special. While Jeff Magnum is a superb and brilliant songwriter...I encourage you to listen to their music. You'll like it...

Plus I met Julian Koster who plays the singing saw in NMH, and he's a cool guy.

Metallica may be legendary and such, but NMH is much better in my view......

That's sweet, man...... How'd you meet him?

He played at the college I go to. He did only six private shows to people who won a game that he got the kids to play...So it was sort of an intimate little concert. Very cool.
