naa, the latest album is more like the older stuff
i.e. not shit like St Anger

I also quite like Load and Reload

Fairy Snuff
might give it a listen, the 1st 4-5 albums were pretty good, I think I lost interest when they started playing with chamber orchestras and such poncey shit, well, that and that documentary , where they were all old and had a band therapist or something, 'Some kind of monster' springs to mind, although I have been known to talk shit quite often.

that documentary was gay as hell
apart from the bit where they audition bass players.

the new stuff is probably most like And Justice For All. Good and heavy. Give it a try. All Nightmare Long is probably my favourite track of it.

well
if some anonymous dude of the 'net, about whom I know only that has apparently has a beard, which may or may not be gay, recommends it..... I'll give it a listen. :)

I refuse
to take semi-anonymous internet advice on music, unless the heterosexuality, or otherwise, of the advice giver is established beyond a shadow of a doubt. Anyway I though, Vipros was smug, but Al was gay, or at least his bike, which comes to the same thing.

I don't much care if you take my advice or not.

although I do care that you don't care.
