New Single Belongs in 1996

You might have heard that Metallica is releasing a new album in September. The first single, titled The Day That Never Comes, has been released, but it sounds to me like something that belongs on Load.

That's not a compliment. Load and ReLoad were sharp declines for the band, so as I'm sitting here writing this it is hard to believe that the Black Album was released SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. That means there are kids starting college this fall who weren't even born when it came out.

Now that I've made you feel really, really old, here is a performance from a couple weeks ago at OzzFest in Dallas.
