After that they were shit, then when Newsted left they were complete and utter shit.

Final verdict-Great then, shit now.

PS-Load gets points for actually having a picture of a load on the cover.
I think i'm the only person who actually likes Load. Think it's a pretty great album.

MoP and AJFA is their best work. New album sounds... a thousand times better than St.Anger, but still just a pretty obvious clinging attempt to be what they used to be. A failing attempt.


At least they tried though. Lars' snare drum sounds less like a biscuit tin now, which is a plus. Still shocking considering throughout the whole recording of St.Anger and Death Magnetic nobody went "hey man your snare drum sounds like a Slipknot percussion piece reject".
