View Full Version : New Metallica Album, Death Magnetic, Out in Sept
Here's a couple of samples. Sounds like a bridge between "...And Justice For All" and "The Black Album". Should be way better than that last garbage they called an album.

Looks like, from what I read, lots of double bass drums and guitar solos are the rule, not the exception. Hetfield's voice sounds like shit and doesn't go with the music at all, but the music sounds awesome.

Hopefully it's closer to Justice than the Black album. I fell off the train after that one. Of the 5 times I've seen them live, they've always been good. I'll have to check it out.
I'm going to Ozzfest August 9th in Dallas and that's when Metallica is picking up the tour, so it will be my first time seeing them.

Nice. Have a good time at the show. I watched the youtube video. It was OK. Better than the Saint Anger or whatever that was, but not great. They were my favorite band in High school. Them and Slayer. I listened to Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and Justice basically every day.

I have never been one to think they "Sold Out", but since The Black CD it's been one Load after another.
I'll believe their new CD isn't a Load of Crap when I see it......

I agree. They are getting older. It happens.

I was at work when I first saw this thread... and I don't have audio there.
I'm at home now and I've watched most of both the ones labeled 'New Song' or 'Other New Song'. I've got mixed feelings on them in general... kind of more like the Black album... with just some cool guitar mixed in... but not horrible.
I'm now listening (no video or it's stuck) to 'Ecstacy of Gold'. So far just instrumental, and I DO love this one.
I'll probably check it out regardless. :salute:

"Ecstacy of Gold" isn't a new song though. It's on the S&M CD.

Damn. :laugh:
Damn. :laugh:
On S&M it's only about two and a half minutes long too.

I swear, I'm the only fan of Metallica past The Black Album who's not afraid to admit to it. :laugh:
A lot of people are like that. There are people out there that don't like the "Pre Black Album" sounds that Metallica had, but like the more grown up, less hardcore sound. Personally, one of my favorite Metallica songs is "The House That Jack Built" on the Load album...
What would be BADASS on the new CD is if they did a solid 7-10 minute instrumental like they used to on Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice For All.

High five...i've never really understood the whole selling out thing...it's still good music, just not the kind that the true Metallica fans wanted I suppose.
I might check this out though...unless it's anything like that "thing" that they last made...

I'd admit it if I liked it. I enjoyed a few songs from the Black album, but never can make it through the whole CD without skipping songs. I didn't care for Load, Reload, or St. Anger. I can listen to Kill 'Em All, Ride, MOP or Justice without skipping a song. I love all those albums in their entirety.
I won't say they sold out, they just changed. I hated the Bob Seger cover they played on the radio ad nauseum, mainly because I can't stand Bob Seger.(I might catch hell for that) I liked Whiskey in the Jar although I prefer Thin Lizzy's version better.

People will always debate whether or not they sold out. Although i cant stand anything past the Black album i respect their decision to go more mainstream and rock oriented. My only problem with that is they kept the Metallica moniker. If they had just changed the name i would have never thought twice about their move musically in another direction as it would have shown they could do it without throwing the Metallica name on it. But they knew they could capitalize on the Metallica name for profit (initially). But then of course when their album sales started to fall they blamed Napster which was totally bogus. Not too mention totally hypocritical on their part considering they made their name by tape trading/sharing in the early 80's. I did happen to see them live in 2000 for the Sanitarium tour and thankfully they played a lot of older material as it was my first show of theirs. But ive given up hope that they will ever be able to recapture the sound and ferocity of the earlier releases.

Instead of "Metallica" they could have changed their name to "Craplica" or "Hetfieldforgothowtosinglica"......

I definitely think Hetfield needs to get back to heave binge drinking again. Remember what happened to Aerosmith when they quit doing drugs? Songs like "Crying" and "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" started coming out.

My favorite was always "Plastica".

That sounds so much like "Metallica" it's not even funny.

I saw them at Southpark Meadows outside of Austin Texas. I think it was '94. There was a guy in the crowd with a sign that said "McTallica. Over a billion sold!"
