Lars hits that snare drum WAY too much.
I'd say buy it for yourself and see what you think after you listen to it. The online reviews aren't all that helpful because the positive ones are usually just one sentence stuff like "Metallica rules!" while the negative ones are dissertations venting about whatever their personal issue is with the band (James can't sing/write, there's no Kirk, Lars is a moron, etc.) But they are hilarious to read, especially when people complain about opposite things (it's not loud enough/it's too loud) in concurrent posts.
