DaveK Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I liked Load. The last track (The Outlaw Torn?) is the one I put on when I'm in a VERY bad mood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Has it really been 5 years since their last? Wow, I've been out of the scene longer than I'd thought. (Started losing interest around Load). Yeah, and it's been 10 years since they did a good album... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'll be watching... my wife noticed it earlier and I set the timer immediately. Hopefully not dissappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartworm Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 heard a song from the album and it sounds fantastic, trying to avoid till the album comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I've preordered the new album, and hopefully will love it. Am slightly pessimistic about it after the last poor offering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1982 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've pre-ordered the special box set. Heard a few tracks on metallica.com. We wanted a thrash album, they've done a thrash album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Seems as though the album has been leaked already but an interview with Lars suggests he doesn't mind, I wonder if it's been done on purpose to track downloaders and go legal at a later date? Or maybe the legit orders in advance are enough to buy him more treasures so he's happy enough? I think I'll just wait for my pre-order to arrive.

michael Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Kerrang just played the new video, it's a bit of an epic. Mlahvvymkxc My thoughts, it's not One and take that bloomin' drum kit away from Lars and replace it with one that doesn't have that nasty snare(?) sound.

garetheves Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I downloaded it this morning so that i could check it before i buy it (and i do intend to buy it on release date - i always buy metallica albums, its the only music i do) and i love the album. Different style altogether so not necessarily like the metallica of old but there are enough similarities in parts. The new style works very well, some of the rifts are simply awesome. Good to hear the solos back as well. Fantastic album alround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Well, that was shit. I won't even waste bandwidth downloading the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 It's a bit 'meh' for me, perhaps the hype on the new album set the expectation too high. The song just doesn’t have the energy of the older stuff, though their age might play a part there Still seems a darn sight better than their efforts in the last few years. *heads off to piratebay to get the rest* (sample for buying, which will happen either way!)

Yeah deffinately dont get it expecting a carbon copy of Kill em all cos that wont happen but for a "new style" metallica its damn good with enough "snippets" of the old to satisfy most people.

Homer Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Just had a quick listen to album (got to love PB!), it's seems pretty good so far, but nothing epic. Need to listen to all songs in full before casting a judgement Definitely a step back towards their roots, no question of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I watched the Culture Show special from last week the other night. It made me want to watch Some Kind of Monster again... what a bunch of tw@ts...! so compelling though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 ...take that bloomin' drum kit away from Lars and replace it with one that doesn't have that nasty snare(?) sound. I fully agree with you but thought I was the only one that hated that sound. In all the old good albums they have none of that "thunk-thunk-thunk" sound in the background banging away at your ears. The whole of the St Anger album was full of it, which ruined some of the slightly nicer riffs (if you could call them that on an otherwise terrible album). Nice to find someone with taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's probably just Lars trying to be noticed... he is a bit of a whiney bi!tch... You can just picture him in the studio lying on the floor throwing a tantrum saying... "Rick... James guitar is louder than my drums..... more volume on the drums pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1982 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 That snare is a work of evil, altho thankfully you don't seem to hear it as much when they play live. Part of me gets the impression that it's Lars way of saying "See I can still drum like the old days, now you can all here me!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 He has reverted back to a "normal" snare in the new album though not the Tom (i think thats what its called, im sure Animal will correct me) that he used in St Anger.

chris2o2 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Not liking that very much i'm afraid I'll still buy the new album in the hope it gets better though. If you want something more interesting you could do a lot worse than "Protest the Hero's" New album - Fortress , not to everyones liking but awesome guitar work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypCdGNe3Bvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that. Reminds me of Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
