I enjoyed the majority of it. By no means a "modern classic" in comparison to their stuff of the past, or indeed a "step back in time" as a lot of people may have hoped or anything (my hopes were higher when friends of mine said it was like they carried off from however many years ago. Then I heard "The Day That Never Comes" ...), but I thought overall it was a vast improvement on St Anger. And that's not a bad thing ... that's a good thing! ![]() |

That's awesome. I didn't even know they were putting a new album out. Metallica fails. And I refuse to support that band as long as Lars the Leech Ulrich is still around. |

aye, the best bit is it improves on st anger, but they could have done a lot better in so many areas the whole thing just seems like tons of riffs just thrown together for the sake of it, no structure whatsoever an lars shitty drums are still present |

I'm listening to it right now. I'm not too big on Metallica, but so far, I don't agree with most of your review; I actually quite like it so far. Then again, it is pretty late, I am pretty tired and I haven't listened to more than half of the album yet, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The drums don't sound anywhere near as bad as they did on St. Anger. They are, however, ridiculously high in the mix - which is very bad as it is - and Lars isn't exactly a magician behind the kit, so there's still stuff to complain about on that front. The lyrics are also terrible, but all bands suck at writin' that stuff, so hey. From what I've heard so far, I'd actually say The Day That Never Comes is the weakest cut - Lars' drumming takes away from the ballad part, which wasn't going to set the world on fire in the first place, and the transition into the TWASH METAL stuff is kind of awkward, made far worse by James talking about love being a four-letter word. The instrumental part that follows is very cool, but it kind of seemed to me like Kirk was, at times, just throwing stuff into the song, hoping it'd stick. Especially the riff he plays a couple of times to segue into a solo near the end of the song strikes me as being there just to take up space, and it sounds like something out of an amateur band jam. >_> |

ApollyonProject: The phrase "don't you" is dumb ApollyonProject: "Do not you" doesn't really make sense ApollyonProject: Not when you use it at the end of a sentence, I mean ApollyonProject: Like, I guess if you open the sentence with something like, "Do not you greave at funerals?" it does ApollyonProject: But "You greave at funerals, do not you?" doesn't work <_< Equathor: don't u wish ur grlfrnd wuz hawt laik me :] ApollyonProject: I bring this up 'cause I'm editing a story I wrote and noticed I used don't you in one of the situations men- ...Why do I talk to you?

After they butchered the Ecstasy of Gold, I trust nothing from them. Seriously that song didn't need to be fucking touched at all. |

They're old. Seriously, you can't expect old bands to put out good quality music anymore. There are a few exceptions but the trend generally remains the same |
