Metallica's new album. It came out today and was produced by Rick Rubin (genius).

It is their first album recorded with Robert Trujillo on bass.

Let me say it totally rocks ass. I heard one single on the radio and some snippets on a radio special about the album last weekend.

IMO, It is easily the best album since 'Black' and may be the best since 'Puppets'. Some really catchy riffs all around and some interesting timing signatures that work.

And Kirk's solo on Unforgiven III is fantastic.
