My husband and I think it kicks-ass as well. There is a really good mixture of the old style (pre-Load era) with some newer (very reminiscent of Load or Reload...I especially noticed this in Lars' drumming in some songs). I think the first song I really started to dig on was 'My Apocolypse' . I hope they continue to make great music. I started to worry when St.Anger was released. I think that this just goes to show all of the people that thought they had lost it, that they can come back, rediscover their roots so to speak, and make something powerful again.
