Metallica has steadily gone downhill ever since Cliff Burton's passing. Jason was still ok but Cliff was who made those original albums what they are. Then Nirvana came along and changed music causing Kirk Hammett to essentially give up on writing a decent solo. Ever since then their music has felt progressively more lazy. They've really turned into a prog-metal band with no progression throughout the songs. They used to have 5-6 riffs in one song. Now they have 5-6 riffs in one album.

Still hooked on this album, I think it was @riffblaster general 's post that put me onto it in fact.

Ah, that's amazing @Peter! I think Opeth may be mine as well… Deliverance was the first album I ever bought and is hands down my favourite album by them.
The first time I saw them live was at the Mayan in Los Angeles, but they were supporting their Heritage album at the time so it was an all acoustic set with no 'heavy' riffage and/or growling.
When I learned they were playing the special Deliverance / Damnation set at the SSE Wembley in London back in November, I knew i HAD to go. When they finally finished with Deliverance... I could die happy. If only they were able to perform 'Leper Affinity' it would have been a perfect concert for me... but cest la vie. I could go on about them, but I'll stop for now in case I get a bit too enthusiastic for my own good...
