If anybody out there loves them Metallica boys as much as I do, or even at least used to, then you are probably psyched about the possibility of their new cd being good. Hell, if it is half as good as Puppets or anything before that, its going to be magnificent. They say its going to be a 'return to their old stuff,' but remember, they also said their last cd was going to be 'good.'

Of course, the guys have not done much in recent years to reward me for being one of their biggest fans. They recorded a horrible album (St. Anger) that turned away newcomers and old fans alike, they sought 'group therapy' in a 2 hour long wuss-fest of a movie called Some Kind of Monster, and lets not forget about Lars' napster fiasco (as much as I would like to).

To top it all off, a Norwegian music site has come out and listed the price for the new Death Magnetic box set at 929 Euros, which is juuust under 1500 smackerels. Wait, WHAT?!? They go on to say it will include things such as a bonus cd of 10 demos, a 'Making of Death Magnetic' DVD and an exclusive T-Shirt. There’s also memorabilia like guitar picks, a Death Magnetic flag and a 'fold-out, coffin box, poster with pictures of the band members.'

I don't know WTF that all means, but unless I am getting the entire Metallica discography, there is absolutely no way I am paying that much for a box set. I can't even remember the last time I bought a cd.



Comon, I still love them; they're METALLICA for crying out loud!
