Jason Newsted's new band

[MAJOR METAL]

In case you did not hear, Jason Newsted has a new band that just released an EP today through I-Tunes http://newstedheavymetal.com/ I'm glad to see Jason making the METAL again.

I was hoping to like this, but.....meh..I must be getting old....it didn't sound all that great and it hurt my ears.

Not bad, but not real inspired... To me, anyway. Too compressed, too gated, too "produced". I dunno. Overall, meh.

Sounds fine to me. What'd you expect?

I like Echobrain much better than this, but, it's better than what Metallica has done since he left...

I agree with you on that point. The Echobrain recordings had a cool vibe to them.

Sounds like there will be a few more EPs before the songs are released together as an album.

Actually, I think it's pretty damned good. Basic, unpretentious, and straightforward. He certainly isn't a great lyricist, but the overall material is fairly strong, given the legacy (partly his own) that he's up against. Whether this can translate over a full album remains to be seen, but the first impression is positive.

You can def. here the Metallica-esque quality of it, but I'd agree. It's simply meh. It sounds a bit dated to me.

Maybe he has a drummer that can keep time now
