Thread: 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.

If it's truly a throwback, I'm going to love it.

LT, watch some of the videos on youtube.

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.

*Crosses fingers*

*chanting*

And justice for all, and justice for all, and justice for all......

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

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