What was delivered here musically, is really awesome and I consider myself briefly, since it is already enough to read here are the musical aspect, yes. For me definitely 5 star. The drumming Unlike virtually since "... And Justice For All". The music has become more complex again, the lyrics, as always, excellent. Hetfield singing of top. Only the almost 10-minute instrumental piece is for me by far the worst of its kind by Metallica. Too slow, too boring, too unimaginative. Now about why I forgive only one star. I have of course all the reviews regarding the override of this album read beforehand. What should I read here ... that people had to leave the music because they have a headache etc .. Such cruel it is not again. One must here not overstep's goal. I hear the CD like and regelmäig, with clipping. The fact is that the songs are completely different affected by clipping. Of course you can hear it in all the songs, but at Broken, Beat and Scarred, Cyanide, The Judas Kiss, and at all evident in My Apocalypse (4 of 10 songs). For the other, it has its limits. Now you must not, however, as I have done it, take the opportunity to listen to the whole thing at Guitar Hero. Unfortunately, we hear only really in direct comparison, but how much the dynamics was taken out of the music. Even the drums sound in direct comparison to modest. Only with a little distance one can live with the CD version again. Conclusion: It's just a joke, so bring out a plate in 2011.
