This was posted elsewhere and is some of the most awful and utterly unlistenable garbage I've ever heard. I said give me some country...or hip-hop...or Disney Channel pop star crap over this garbage any day, it made me want to shove pencils in my ears. I mean f[inks], old style Metallica is even WORSE than I expected, which is saying a lot.

Let me put it this way: If anything that sounded like this was ever played at my hipster church, I'd walk straight out and find my way to the nearest Catholic Mass. Where was that worst songs of all time nomination thread? This needs an entry.

I am now SOOOOOOO glad I've made it through 31 years of my life having only heard a handful of Metallica songs now.

Pretty good tune. I like Metallica's early stuff.

What?! This song has about two minutes of pure pointless wankery until the actual song begins...and then there's zero payoff. Just grating annoying vocals and more of the same junk over and over. No sick breakdowns or mosh parts ANYWHERE. It's like listening to someone mow the lawn.

Because by your own admission, you only listen to extremely specific subgenres of punk.

Not exactly, I do like some 90s alternative and grunge too. I like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, the first two Weezer albums and some more obscure 90s alternative bands.
