Despite the handful of flops Metallica has released in the past decade or so, I still think they're talented musicians and while they aren't what they once were, they can still write some decent tunes. Listening to the Black Album, Load, and Re-Load, if you drop all the radio hits, there's some pretty decent stuff there. But maybe that's the nostalgia talking - I used to spin those albums for hours when I was a teenager.
That said, I refuse to believe that this next record might be a some return-to-form. Bob Rock won't be blowing them while they record, and they have inspiration from playing "Master of Puppets" all summer, but let's face it - they're businessmen now. They don't care about taking over the world anymore. They did that 20 years ago. They make albums now because they have to fulfill their end of the record contract, and it doesn't matter what they play, if it's rock music and it says "Metallica" on the cover, it'll sell.
Not to mention Lars has always been the fast talker of the group, of course he's going to try to boost the hype on this record.
