    As for the growling, that is just a personal thing, there are some great growlers out there, I just bought a classic Morbid Angel album and it is absolutely awesome, with its iceberg-sized riffs and crazy drums and gorwling vocals. "Clean" Metal vocals don't really do it for me anymore. Usually the rest of the song sucks, or the lyrics are really lame, or the voice is beyond cheesy

    Yeah a lot of people I know like growling, it's just a musical turn off for me honestly. That's not saying the music sucks, the music is beyond good. I just hate growling, it all sounds the same to me, like emo voices. At least with grunge everyone had a unique and original voice.

    But Metallica had amazing lyrics and songs back in the 80s and those are the songs I listen to by them anyway. Maybe the Black Album here and there and select songs from latter releases. Personally I think they've lost it but some people like it and that's cool with me - I'll gladly listen to Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All any fucking day of the week!

    So do you listen to all these new generation metal bands like Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Black Dalhia Murder and so forth? Cause personally those vocal stylings are pure shit in my eyes. Personally, I like the Mustaine, Hettfield, Araya vocals from the thrash days much more. These metal bands today all sound so similar and I've always thought that the old school world of thrash metal is way better than the crap around now.

    I don't listen to shitty metalcore bands. I actively dislike Killswitch Engage, and haven't heard Lamb of God, and I don't really care for the only BDM album I've heard. I do like At The Gates, which most metal bands seem to adore, judging by the amount of sounds they've "borrowed" from them.

    There are still some great "new generation" metal acts out there, like Mastodon, 1349, and Enslaved, you just have to find the ones you like. Old school thrash metal was okay, Rust in Peace is a doe album and I bought it yesterday, but I prefer old school death metal to thrash.
