I think it's really just a matter of getting older. Since the new album came out, my son's been listening to it virtually non-stop. I'm getting him to listen to the older albums, so he gets to hear what the Metallica I knew was like. Listen to the albums straight through in order of release. On "Kill 'Em All," Hetfield's voice was very high pitched and almost whiny. It slowly got deeper and more agressive sounding over the years.
