It's still not Ride the Lightning...but at least it's not Load/Reload.

FYI - you recent review of the 45RMP Metallica reissues finally makes me interested in finally acquiring a table.

Since you listen to (and appreciate) the hard stuff, I'm particularly interested in your gear. Is that published somewhere?

And keep on publishing those metal reviews in TAS (and Playback). I, for one, appreciate it.
