Will Metallica's new album be a triumph? Or will it be St Anger Part 2?

If it turns out to be another hollow, stinking pile of rubbish, is it the end of Metallica?

After such a horrible streak of poor albums, can they redeem themselves with something as good as Master Of Puppets? Can you see it happening? Or are the members way too past their prime?

I don't really think past their prime has anything to do with it. But when you write songs based on anger you are going to run out of steam, people just tend to mellow out as they get older. So I'm sure finding that source and being able to channel it musically gets harder.

And lets face it, if you actually think they are going to return to their Master of Puppets style, you are just kidding yourself, you know they wont do it and you know they don't really want to do it. Maybe something as hard and as aggresive maybe but it's not going to sound like that anymore, they have just moved on. They got over it.

With that being said; am I the only one who doesn't hate St. Anger? I mean it's certainly my least favorite Metallica album, but i still give it a listen every now and then. Plus the Unnamed Feeling is a badass song.
