Quoted from vid1900:That's true.
Even on the new album, the opening track "Hardwired" comes in with a hard gallop, but it does not take long until the lack of any variation makes you wonder if someone just played a single bar loop on a drum machine.
I liked you already VID, and even more now. LOL. I was surprised you initially left it at MOP, or the guy after you did. And Justice for All ripped it the hell up, and their sound got so much tighter and forthcoming on that album. As a drummer myself, Lars' drums just sound ridiculously crisp on AJFA, and learning to drum that album challenged me a little. From Blackened all the way to Dyer's Eve. Then they went on to Nothing Else Matters, and nothing did. LOL. (well, Sad But True was a good jingle). Black album just got a little slow for me.
Sorry for the sidebar. Back to the issue at hand...(although I'm tiring of it at this point).
