I do like Metallica better than Dragonforce, but that's like saying i like...phsyics homework better than math homework.
I mean their last two albums are kinda...really... bad. I haven't listened to much of Death Magnetic but St. Anger is musically simple and a lot of the lyrics make me laugh... and Metallica's music is not supposed to make you laugh... but lyrics that do make me laugh are :
"I'm madly in anger with you." and "My lifestyle determines my deathstyle".
That being said... Master of Puppets is perhaps one of the best albums, ever.
