Actually Megadeth are losing it too, only 1 or 2 of their albums have actually being worth listening too. Hetfield is struggling to get comfortable with this new style of singing I think, At least it aint as high pitched as KEA. He'll eventually get the hang of it and the new album better be worth. Actually the album release period is still within the time of late 2006-mid 2007 I think. Take a look at Damage Inc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slczGSHlMb4 listen to the bass skills on Orion, I think Newsted just got owned badly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mosb-...ck%20am%20ring
