Finally got to listen to the new LP album and it is as expected, completely different to their other albums. Mike Shinoda's little burst of rap are a rarity...i personally am not sure whether that was a good idea or not, they are what made LP unique from other bands. Minutes to Midnight is good, but i dont think it is anywhere near as good as their other stuff...i think they could've done better given how long it has taken them. . Having said that the album does have 2 or 3 awesome tracks, What I've Done being one of them. .

I am massive fan of Metallica but this is not one of their best performances. Hetfields singing is nothing on what it used to be which ruins a large portion of the songs...If only they released a live album from when they were still all at there best in the early 90's. I am also not expecting too much from the new album , despite replacing Bob Rock, i still dont think metallica will make another album that is even a patch on their early albums.

If anything i am praying it is better than St. Anger, but in all honesty that wont be too hard.

I remember that concert; and I now have the new edition with DVDs on it. Back then I have them on burned CDs and a copy of VHS.

So yes, it's one of the best performances ever, despite of the fact was not all recorded here in Mexico City. 18 months ago included on the singles, there were tracks recorded live on Paris, 2 years ago and those are almost as powerful as those included on these CD, check those out.

In the meantime, hopefully the new album has power as St. Anger but the energy of Master Of Puppets, perhaps the sound of ... And Justice For All.

ps. St. Anger is the only Metallica album I've never fully listen, just part of it.
