First of all, If for nothing else, buy this cd for the live songs - they rock. As for "The Unnamed Feeling" itself, it's a decent song - Definately better than anything on St. Anger, but still does not live up to their older stuff. Yes, the sound quality is a lot better than that of "Frantic" or "St. Anger" and Hetfeild obviously put some effort in making the vocals sound good, and i think the guitar intro could actually be considered a riff... But still no solos or complex licks that made Metallica famous, and the style in which the song is written gives of a slight odor of nu metal. I think Metallica is trying to go back to the raw, heavy style that we all love, and this song has its moments. Yet the fact remains that Kirk Hammet hasn't given us a single guitar solo since "Reload," and this song would be so much better with more riffs and a 2-minute-long solo. But all in all, nice job Metallica.
