The new smashing pumpkins album is awesome, one of their better albums definitley. I have been told they're brilliant in concert and I'm definitely going. I'm not really a fan of queens of the stone age, but they're ok.
St. Anger was definitely Metallica's worst, their album this year is supposed to be more like their older stuff which is good to hear. And about G'n'R, it's ruined, sure I.R.S and Madagascar off their new album are good songs, but the rest are crap. Nothing beats slash, duff, and steven/matt ALONG with axl, but axl alone, cough cough.
