New Metallica Song

[clevalley (Premo)]

Some Kind of Monster is being streamed on DC-101 (let the ad play first...) Kirk Hammett is unbelievable.

Their last album (Saint Anger) blew chunks -The Day That Never Comes is on Metallica's MySpace... this song (8 minutes) sounds pretty good!

[Larry Gude (Premo)]

...was significantly worse than I'd expected. And I expected it to be crap.

Why even mention Kirk Hammet? I didn't hear one note that wasn't rhythm.

Example of good Metallica:

FF to 3:55

YouTube - Metallica - Hit the lights

Some Kind of Monster is off of the St Anger CD.......

...that's why I selected a more recent vid; they CAN still play, short hair or no. Good Lord, they could single handedly drag metal out of this D tuned nightmare we've all been living in for over a decade and bring back actual guitar playing.

Is it? I chucked it after a few tracks... it sucked.

That is why I said it was "not bad" - I listened to Cyanide and that is even better...

FF to 5:38 - Sorry, KH sold his soul to play like that.

Yes - they can play. Their last album was trying to be to artsy or something. I could not put a finger on it.

Bottom line, I will probably get this album just like all the others... hopefully it will not get back shelved like St. Anger...

That CD was horrendous.


The Day That Never Comes is the new stuff.

[Toxick]

I liked St. Anger.



There. I said it.



I don't like it as much as their older stuff, and the snare drum took some getting used to, but I think the album is an acquired taste, and I like it.

Specially Frantic.


I also liked Load and Reload. I don't care what anyone says. They were good albums.




I'm very much looking forward to the new one. I heard it's supposed to be reminiscent of the Master of Puppets era.

I tried so very hard to like St. Anger. I listened to it so much at first..thinking that maybe just one more listen would flip the switch.

Nope.

Frantic is a decent song, though, if I remember correctly...it's been a very long time since I heard it. That album is the banished album of my Metallica library. It's as if it never existed.


I liked all their other stuff, though.



From the sneak peeks I've seen on Mission Metallica...the new album should be very....very good.
