After playing the title-cut and first single from Metallica's new album St. Anger, the DJ exclaimed, "that was the new kick-ass track from Metallica's brand new album [sic]!" As if the radio could listen to me in the same manner that I listened to it, I replied, "Metallica hasn't 'kicked-ass' since 1989." They have, however, been sucking shit through a crazy straw.
