Yeah they used to be my favorite, then i stopped listening to them for awhile, and now im getting back into them again. Im anticipating their 9th album which should surface pretty soon because its supposed to have a spring release date of 08. Rick Rubin is the producer now so hopefully it wont be another st. anger. Its been described as the "missing link" between ...ajfa and the black album. Im slighty optimistic and aam hoping for the best.

I remember about six months ago kirk said that the new album has riffs similar to master of puppets...so we wont have another BS St. Anger album....i hope

I have mixed feelings on St. Anger.  It was by far their thrashiest album since Justice, it just lacked the technicality of their past work.  It was thrash rock, rather than thrash metal.  But at least they had the attitude back.  If they can get the riffs and solos to back it up (and if Lars would start practicing again :|), then the new album should be pretty good.
