    When are people most at peace? Genrally in the moments before they die. Thus Peace is but a shadow of death.

    I haven't missed anything.

    Metallica hasn't done anything good since Garage Day's Re-revisited, and they have done anything decent since Justice.

    The Black Album is the suck as they say.

    I like some of the Zombie Techno remixes, but most of it bugs me.
