I thought it was kinda funny. "The click knob, who is crazy and gangsta." Pretty much sums up the depth of most rap right there.

Well Rob T. is ex-suicidal tendencies..they had that rap rock/metal thing for a while.
I hope the album lives up to the hype. I do like Rick Rubin's albums. I am now bracing myself for the onslaught of negativity -seek shelter!

Rubin produced the latest Neil Diamond record, which is getting great reviews. May have to pick it up.

Just because Rick Rubin is producing the album doesn't automatically mean that it will be any good.

Shoe police, and a "Good album" would be... what?? Just straightforward and heavy? Metallica going the Slayer way and making the same album over and over again? And yes, I consider myself as a Slayer fan... but the fact is, their albums are too alike. Diabolus, God Hates, Christ Illus... its all the same stuff

Jamez, all I am saying is that Rick Rubin is not a miracleworker. He may have a reputation for producing great albums, but not every one is great. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin#List_of_albums_produced will let you decide for yourself of the credibility of his talents. There are some classics, and bombs on that list.

I agree with Shoe Police. Rubin is an awesome producer but to say every album he's done is classic is a foolish statement. For example, I haven't heard many people give the latest Linkin Park album much credit.

Now playing: Drowning Pool- No More

I just went to a local record store to get Ride the Lightning on vinyl, and once I found it, I also found both The Sword albums on vinyl, so needless to say, RTL got passed on. Plus they had, like, 15 copies of each version.

Well, I sure hope Rubin will be a breath of fresh air in the Metallica lungs after Bob Rock. Personally I'd like to see Andy Sneap producing and/or mixing for Metallica, I am a huge fan of his work.

Good shout! Sneap is an excellent metal producer. The only complaint I have of Sneap is that alot of the albums he produces sound kinda similar but that doesn't bother me too much. He's done some excellent work with Onslaught, Kreator, Exodus, Megadeth and Testament. And let's not forget Sabbat!
