MORE BULLSH*T RHETORIC FROM METALLICA’S LARS ULRICH

In a recent interview with Revolver magazine, art-aficionado, download-hater and sometimes Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich spewed forth some more “this one’s going to bring back the old sound, man!” bullshit:

“This stuff is certainly a lot more dynamic and a lot more varied than the last couple of go-rounds,” he said. “There’s a lot of light and shade in these songs. There’s heavy, fast, nutty stuff, and then there’s some slowdowns and musical interludes. It’s pretty different from ‘St. Anger’, and it’s pretty different from the ‘Load’ stuff. This stuff is not the one-dimensional punch in the face that ‘St. Anger’ was. This is probably a little more like those couple of albums back there in the decade that begins with an ‘8.’”

Can we really believe anything this man says at this point? Will absentee-producer extraordinaire Rick Rubin right the sinking calamity of a ship that has been the past 3 Metallica albums? What are the chances of this album being about as good as poop in a jewel case?
