Yes. We have already spent countless hours on here discussing how well the Radiohead Model would work for indie bands. Let's not do this again.

I can't believe they didn't play Only In Dreams!!! I would've been extremely disappointed. Amrit you should've refused to even review the show. I've seen them twice and pretty much all I remember about the shows are the big build up with the =W= rising behind them. They take that off the setlist and keep Beverly Hills?!!!

Seriously... Where do these people come from? I'm trying to make some valid points on the awesomeness of the new album and you're making it impossible

Sigh... Get over yourselves people. I know it hasn't been cool to like Metallica since Justice but I at least thought you could suck it up and realize the album is good. You don't even have to love it like i do but this is some of the best playing of their career. I forgot Kirk was that good and I've never heard Hetfield play guitar parts like that. I'm just really fucking sick of the trashing Metallica is cool thing. Way too predictable and not the least bit insightful.

Song is incredible IMO. I don't think they are re writing as much as just following their old formula. If you're calling that a re write then we might as well say that One was a rewrite of Sanitarium which was a re write of Fade To Black. Day That Never Comes just sounds like another classic Metallica ballad.

And to add to that, I remember when Radiohead played Bonnaroo 2006, My Morning Jacket were watching backstage and Jim James told some news source that he didn't see what the big deal was with Radiohead. I think Kings of Leon also went on record at the same show saying that they weren't Radiohead fans which is ironic since that got an Airbag shout out at APW. Does anyone remember this?

Yeah, I agree. I'm not saying he's not overplayed and trendy. I too have a laugh at 18 year old white girls trying to relate to the hardships of "stowing in from Africa." I don't even put him on and sometimes i skip it when it shuffles on my ipod but I don't think anyone disagrees that it's great music.

After reading the article that this post is linked to, I'm positive it's Creep bc he says he was listening to Pablo Honey while writing the book.
