[ricks_85_gt]

There new single aint to flippin shabby!!!! The Day That Never Comes!!!! I can't wait to get my hands on the full album which hits streets the 12th O BOY!!!!

[Nitrouscoupe]

I heard it on the radio about 20 times yesterday in Louisville. I dont care for it to be honest, but then again I dont like any Metallica stuff.

[Cody G]

Yeah i cant wait to hear the rest of the album .......it sounds pretty good

[ricks_85_gt]

Well its not really super bad ass but it'll do. But it dosent matter if they pooped on a cd and sold it, it would still go platinum, and id buy it, cause apparently shit these days sound good.

[beefcake]

i'll want to hear it, i'm a big fan of the early stuff

[BIGHONKEY]

I am also a fan of the early stuff. I thought this song was a solid 5 out of 10.

[ricks_85_gt]

The first half of the song is damn good but the second half is kinda choppy but still good. It definatly has that justice feel.

[bascom123]

thats funny i felt the front half of the song was too fluffy..i liked the last half because they were cranking the ever loving bee gee sus out of the guitar.. old school metallica style. Its been quoted as a modern And Justice for All.. in my mind one of the best albums they ever did..

My Apocolypse............. Not To Shabby!!!!

[ricks_85_gt]

My Apocolypse makes me think of Battery!! Which is Awesome!!!!

there is a link to the song on their website.

Far better than anything they have put out in their last couple of albums, but still not back to the old Metallica which is by far the greatest.

Though the S&M album is phenomenal

Metallica is still to this day my favorite band...their first 4 albums are very dear to me, especially And Justice For All...that in my opinion is the best Metal album ever written.


This new song...i dunno. It does sound better than anything since the Black Album, but i just think they're a different band and will never again be the same Metallica from back in the day. The slow parts at the beginning sound like typical current Metallica grooves, and then the last part where it gets heavy sounds very "Master of Puppetsish" to me. I don't care a lot about how they recorded it...the drums sound weird. I'm NOT gonna get my hopes up though...they burned me in '96 when they came out with Load...i waited for 6 F'in years for a new Metallica album and then got completely let down. I probably will give it a good listen when it comes out though.


Now...St. Anger...that album is a huge POS. I got it when it came out and gave it a good honest chance, and i didn't like it then. Now, about a month ago i picked it up again and i still can't listen to the whole album.

The only way for them to be as good as they once was is for Cliff Burton to come back to life. Rob is as close as there going to get to Cliff. But Im good and I love the new stuff. It will get worse before it gets better!!

I completely agree. This is Metallica's first shot since St. Anger, and I think for their first try they hit the nail on the head, it will only get better from here. I listen to the CD on the way to and from work EVERY day, and I am telling you what, the more and more you listen to the songs... the more I get reminded of the first 4 albums. I dig it.

[93hulk]

I just heard the entire album and sounds very much like the the first 4. I ve been a Metallica fan pretty much my whole life and this new album hit the spot for some new metal. Its by far their best since Justice for all. I highly suggest you get it. Ill have mine tomarrow.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Has it been released or are you guys getting it offline? SOMEONE GET ME A COPY!!! LOL

[07thorobrd]

i was a fan of early metallica but i saw an interview with them one time and they said it didnt matter if their songs were good or not that their fans would still buy the albums and ever since then i dont like them just my .02

Well, they are, afterall the creators of the songs, they can do them any way they please, and the way I see it is, no one has the exact same taste in music, so therefore in a sense there is a Metallica for everyone, some like the hard early stuff, some like the S&M, some like the newer stuff, and some even like St. Anger. When does an artist ask for your requests/opinions? I'll admit I like St. Anger, yes, it was different, BUT what band does the same thing over and over and over and over again? when you don't change and grow, you dont survive in the music industry.

And the way I see it, they had sooo much negative responses to St. Anger that they were almost forced to do another album. Hell if they wanted to they could have retired and not gave a shit. But instead they went back at it with a fresh slate, and damn, I think they did a fantastic job with it. I know its not exactly what the old Metallica was, but when you listen to the songs enough times and actually give them a chance, you catch your self thinking "Wow, that song reminds me of........." Heck I can't keep the cd out of my cd player!

All in all I think Metallica is definitely heading in the right direction to keep up with the music industry and other metal bands, and the next album after Death Magnetic will rock even harder!
