Query: What happened to Metallica

I never thought I would say this about a Metallica CD but this CD is terrible. I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish. Lars' drum kit sounds like he made it out of garbage cans and the bass and lead sound like their playing behind plexiglass. As far as the lyrics, James is just all over the place and he just doesn't seem to know when he wants to end the songs...every one of them is like this. There just is no continuity in any of the songs, they go from loud and hard to soft and mellow in a blink of an eye and then back again. I'm curious to see how they play live because without music in front of them to follow I don't know how they are going to be able to play a song all the way thru the way it is written. I never thought losing Jason would cause such disarray. Sorry Metallica. I haven't given up on you, just on this CD.
