andyuk200523 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Saw the guys last year at Wembley Stadium, was an Awesome gig, they are sounding tighter in these last couple of years than they have done for the past 10 years, Rick Rubin is doing a great job with them, if the little clips on mission metallica are anything to go by this will be an album of similar scale to Master of Puppets! (we can hope anyway!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 To me Metallica died with Cliff Burton. Ive always found it weird how my favorite Metallica albums go by year released. 1. Kill Em All 2. Ride The Lightning 3. Master of Puppets 4. ...And Justice For All Their first three albums were masterpieces, the fourth album was really good, and every album after that is just regular 90s not-so-special rock. I really hope their new album is good and doesnt make my ears bleed like St Anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfreak519 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 For those who don't know, the new single entitled "The day that never comes" was released yesterday. I really like the sound of it, it reminds me of "Fade to Black" and their older songs. I think it's a huge improvement on St. Anger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UNfNpjWz-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba83 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I felt like the song didn't have a focused direction. It changes pace a few too many times for me. It almost feels like they are trying to send a message to the fans like "Hey check out this part, doesn't it sound like our old stuff?" So they'll do like some crazy speed guitar but it just comes off as a little cheap to me and not well thought out. They haven't come up with a new song in a long while where I've liked the inner core of the song that I can really get behind... And with this one, though not horrible, it pretty much has no inner core. Maybe I'll be happier with the rest of the CD where they aren't trying to pack a bunch of stuff into one song they think will impress people on the radio.

Groteslurf Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 ^^ I think it's a great song and I'll buy the new album the day it is released. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Listened to the entire album today and was pleasently surprised. On some songs the lyrics just seemed really random and didnt fit the riff, some songs sounded just like songs from other albums (That Was Just Your Life - Blackened, the Day That Never Comes - Fade To Black). It was nice to hear some actual good music come from them again though after the last 4 albums sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chmilo24 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I got the album on Sunday from my uncle, and I was really surprised about it. Now it wasn't any Black Album, Master of Puppets, or ...And Justice For All, but it is a good album. It has a totally new sound that all the other albums they have released, but that is a good thing. I have gotten sick of My Apocolypse and they Day That Never Comes, they just don't seem that good. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfreak519 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 For those who want to listen to it without buying anything, they have the entire album on their website now. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chmilo24 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Judas Kiss has the best solo I have ever heard from a Metallica song. To me it is obviously the best song on the album. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I heard a good deal of their new album on XM radio recently, and could always tell it was Metallica without even looking at the display....sadly this was because it sounded like the same crap as their last couple of albums and was only getting airtime because of who they used to be. I say bring back Dave Mustaine, at least he can write them some good stuff, since they're all too deaf to hear it for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 In a few moments, I'm off to the shop to buy the new album. So far only heard 2 songs of it (Cyanide & Day that ..) and I love those 2 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil jimmy norton Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I have heard some good things about it, but it wouldn't matter, I'm going to go buy it in a little while. What I am looking forward to is their show at Nassau Colliseum in Long Island. I got floor seats baby, I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say bring back Dave Mustaine, at least he can write them some good stuff, since they're all too deaf to hear it for themselves. I sadly have to agree with Derek. Metallica is still one of my favorite bands, but I have not been very impressed with the last several albums...well honestly nothing since Justice has really done it for me. What is the deal with the sound recordings of the last two albums, are they into trying to making them sound worse than they should? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 ^ Actually I was a little quick on my first response. When I ran the album on my living room system it sounded MUCH better. I accidently put the CD on a low bi rate setting when I transferred it to my Ipod, which is a bad thing for this record. While not as strong as the first 4, I now do like it.

slither37 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have just finished listening to this one time through and I gotta say I like it a lot, as much as RTL or MoP? Maybe not, but this album is better, IMO than St. Anger. Getting tickets tomorrow morning for their show in Columbus 11/9. Does it sound the same as all other Metallica? well, yes, that is why I like it. Kinda the same reason i ride the same coasters over and over again. I like it. That was Just Your Life, Judas Kiss and All Nightmare Long are fantastic, just so much more hard driving riffs in this than St. Anger. Can not wait to see this live.

chmilo24 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Just bought tickets to their 12/20 Oakland show. I have, surprisingly, never seen Metallica live so I hope they will be as good then they they were 10-20 years ago. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rct3man777 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 HOPEFULLY I'll be able to get tickets for when they go to salt lake before they sell out! If I can manage to get some, I hope there won't be another one of those "Lars needs his pacifier" fights on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenium Man Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 This album is amazing.I listened to it all on the internet and Cyanide is my favorite with Judas Kiss following behing.This album is probably my 5th favorite Metallica album, knocking The Black Album one spot behind.I must also say, I like all of Metallica's albums.

KPWoCkAxX Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I bought this the day it was released in the UK. I freaking love it! Much better than St. Anger (2003) The drumming that was shocking! Looking forward to seeing more from these Legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Okay before I say this, just know that I really like metal. A lot. I listen to it all the time, and listen to a lot of bands, Metallica being one of them. And THIS IS ALL MY OPINION!!! Don't flame me for what I'm saying, none of this "how can you say that?" stuff, I won't listen to it. This album is horrible. I mean NOTHING about it is any good. Metallica is just different now, and they are running out of ideas for songs. The drumming sounds like basic rock beat, Lars isn't that amazing. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE their old stuff. Black Album is fantastic, but this new stuff is just crap. I mean which song do you think is better, "The Day That Never Comes" or "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)"? In my opinion, the latter, and the former just sounds like they were trying to copy the success of Sanitarium and make a "new version". They just arn't doing anything new, it sounds like all the same stuff and it's boring! They were once a great band, but now they are too mainstream and produce songs that "appeal to the masses," not songs that are awesome and you have to have a taste for. That being said, if you don't own any Metallica and are considering buying this, don't. Pick up some of their older albums, like Black Album, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and Kill 'Em All. You will be MUCH happier with these than this new crap. That's what I think about this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rct3man777 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Personally, I don't really think it's THAT bad, but they could've done alot better. But I still might get to see them live!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyuk200523 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Bought the album the day it was release as my pre-order did not turn up....I love it, all the tracks are hard driving, they are perfect Metallica tracks, which just love being played at loud volumes!!! I also saw them live on Monday night at the O2 Arena in London, what an Awesome show, played 5 of the new tracks, That was just your life, end of the line, BBS, Cyanide and The day that never comes, also did some of the classics, One, Master, Seek, and also chucked in some of the older stuff they don't play live very often, Wolf and Man, Until it sleeps, was an awesome gig, when they come back to the UK next year, I will be first in line for tickets!!!!
