Query: They Were Once the Trendsetters, But Now They are Followers

Once leaders and now followers. This album shows that the band knew that they had lost their way. But the sad part about it is that they couldn't find their way back. They sold their souls with the Black Album, and could never get them back. The music got worse and worse until they were unrecognizable as the titans of metal that they were in the mid 1980s. It really was painful and sad to listen to this. It sounds like they are deperately trying to appear heavy and hip, when all they really are is washed up.
