Jason Newsted's new band

Originally called "Newsted" :S not sure what to make of it yet,I always thought he took himself too seriously. Glad to see he's still out there though after his parting with Metallica.

Pleased he is still making music but not that impressed with the tunes.

Actually on a 2nd and 3rd play through, I don't like it.. the vocals are horrible

Yeah- agree.

It has a very 90's feel to it, which is good- but we've moved on rhythmically, in terms of vocal treatment and the lyrics are oh-so-derivative.

5/10 for me, overal.

I don't hate it- but not much compels me here.

Yeah, I managed about two listens and gave up. I really wanted to like it, but there's just something lacking!

I always thought he was the best metallica bass player, I'll have to give this a listen when I get home.

Rave

Terrible imo.

PolarityMan

Yeah the vocal parts are really really wank.....such a shame

Some halfway decent riffs.

Doesn't offend me, doesn't excite me.

I really like Jason, he got a shit deal with Metallica. I got excited when he joined Voivod though, that could have been killer. But wasn't.

That second track has a whiff of The Almighty or Therapy? about it.

Bang on trend!

I like Newsted as a bass player, but find him annoying, over serious and miserable as a person (from interviews and such that I've seen).
