Quoted from Cobray:Adding to the conversation here, is anyone else surprised at how many people are pumped up about this title? I've been a Metallica fan since my teenage years, but their music is pretty dark and I never thought that the fast metal style never really had the mass appeal that AC/DC did (not including the more commercial black album, but most of the music is fast).
I guess what I'm getting at is this- I don't see the older generation that's in our hobby appreciating the music on this one (with some exceptions), or am I way off base to think that?
I'm 35, punk and metal are what I grew up on...Metallica might have done some lame shit, but I grew up on a few of their older albums in junior high and early high school...my 13 year old boy loves them too
