It just depends on which version you get. There are more than one versions of it out there. Some are better than others.Personally I think it better than St. Anger. They got rid of the steel drum and it sounds a lot more like their early stuff before the Black Album.I think Lars' view of fans getting the album early is only based on the very different world we live in now since the whole Napster thing. Back then it was about the fact that nobody was regulating it and there weren't any laws. Now if you do it then you are breaking the law. It wasn't about stealing music as much as it was about nobody caring that they were stealing music. Hey, I'll be honest and say that I've got a copy of the album already, but I'm also going to be first in line when it releases on the 12th just like I've been for every Metallica album release since Ride the Lightning. The guy who put the album on my iPod is going to be right there in line with me too. Some people just can't resist hearing something new from their favorite band as soon as it comes out. I'm glad that Lars understands the fans like he does.
