I wouldn't say very different, but they are different.
I'm not sure if they wanted to record it so crappy to make it seem more "real" and "raw" or they just were just stupid. I don't listen to Metallica for that sort of sound. I'd listen to Nirvana, or some punk band for that.

well I went ahead and bought the album. Hey, I'm a diehard Metallica fan- I knew it was going to happen sooner or later.
what the kicker was for me was the fact they proved a DVD, and they provide a link to the Metallica Vault where you can download almost 100 hours (or is it minutes?) of music (mostly live from what I can tell).
In any case, when played in my pickup with my amplified boosted truck speakers behind the seats the bass does sound halfway decent. I still don't like the sound quality that much. I'm not sure if they intended on that sound. Maybe they wanted it to sound more raw. And I'm beginning to think the problem isn't the bass guitar, but the drums. Sometimes the drums sound like they are coming from a tin can.
I will still write Metallica an e-mail and ask them to rerecord the album with Rob Trujillo at bass .

The album is missing long guitar solos. And the individual songs are also missing a certain distinctiveness. It's good, but not as good as previous albums. You get used to the odd sound quality eventually.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.
