: Metallica's New Release !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All the best artists habitually reinvent themselves. Fifteen years
into their existence,, Metallica's sixth studio album, represents
a creative rebirth. Featuring less than half the songs Metallica has
written and recorded in the last 12 months, sees Metallica nod to
their past while continuing to seek their own destiny, rather than accept
one dug for them by the lazy preconceptions of others.
"We're not out for shock, we're not out for disgust either, we're just
out to do what we do. There's no way you can set it up," says James
Hetfield. "You put out a record every five years, then there's bound
to be some drastic changes. Whose life doesn't change in five years?
And people have to take that with a block of salt. People have to
understand what's been happening in our lives--what we've been doing,
where we've been, where our fucking minds are. And you would likely
hope that people would've change themselves, y'know? Change has to
happen no matter how much people don't want to see their stable things
change. As humans we have to change. It's almost come full circle.
We've never been out to please anyone but ourselves, and the fans totally
dig and respect that. But when we change it's probably a little harder
for them to accept that because they haven't been through it with us."
is characterized by the increased input of guitarist Kirk and
bassist Jason, and the shaking up of Metallica previously extremely anal
recording processes--a shake up that came after the band spent a year off.

: "Getting away from each other helped us grow not apart,but in
our own ways, and when we got back together we learned new ways of growing
together. I think this happened in the studio as well. Lars was always,
I have to record my drums this way; I was always,I have to record my vocals
this way. We were all stuck in our own way. Now we've seen from each other
how each person records their own way, and we've loosened up a lot."
I went on this hunting trip for a couple of weeks, and as soon as I came
back, there's this tape, and it was like,Okay, we've been doing a few
things... Kirk played rhythm guitar...WHAT!?["I was afraid he was going to
hit me," says Kirk.] But I listened to the stuff, and it was pretty fucking
cool. We've got two guitar players, so why not use two guitar players?"
: "I think Jason is the most grounded and stable among us,and
musically he's always open to trying out different shit. He has much more
interaction with other musicians than James, Kirk, or I. It brings a
quality to the party, just that knowledge, and I value it a lot."
"After we started writing, we got to 25 songs and said, This is crazy...
we could keep on writing songs until 2007. We had to curb ourselves and
put a lid on it because we could still be in there writing now. That's how
many ideas kept surfacing. There's a song on the new record which was
written when we hit on a jam while recording. We've recorded 80 or 90 songs
over the last 15 years and there's never been anything that's come from a
jam. So, yes, things are evolving. The ways the plan sits is this: 14 songs
will be on this record, and a lot of the other songs are done already.
Instead of making a record every five years, we're going to put out a
record now and put out another record in a year or year-and-a-half from
now."
: "There's huge new strength in all of this. You share feelings
with each other, you feel more of a family vibe, more of a camaraderie.
People will back you up even more instead of battle you. And that's even
more forward momentum for us as in dividuals and as a band."
: "We're standing at a massive potential point of rebirth."
: "We're at our fullest potential now more than ever before. The
sky is the fucking limit."

All of which still gives little idea about the sheer size of the soundscape
that Metallica now straddles (as if to demonstrate confidence, has
as much music as can possibly fit onto one CD--79 minutes) or the depth of
their new-found self expression. sees Metallica once again giving
the finger to those who thought they had the band sussed.
