Definitely better than the last couple of albums they've come out with and better than most the :poop: that bands are putting out these days. But it's no Master of Puppets or Ride the Lightning . . . something is missing . . . ANGST.:mad: Back in the day, you could feel the intensity, anger, and hostility pounding thru. This kinda sounds like a bunch of old dudes trying to rekindle the flame that they had way back when. Some of the riffs and beats are the same, but the feel, the power, the drive, just isn't there. Just my :2:They shoulda kept the long hair, stuck with the drugs and alcohol and died young like most the greats!!!
