Metallica Death Magnetic

What does everyone think of the 3 released songs? Personally i love them cant wait for september 12th!!

kick a$$ album from what i have heard so far. 'Cyanide' is a superb track. not sure about 'the unforgiven III' though, i mean come on, whats the next album gonna be called? Unload?

haha, yeah im looking forward to see if it will sound similar to the last two unforgiven's!

and your right, september 12th cant come soon enough!

its a good month for metal, avenged sevenfold are bringing out their live CD/DVD and trivium's 4th album is out towards the end. and there all pre-ordered

i watched metallica on bbc3 on sunday night and they kicked serious butt. still got it

Where did you find the 3 released songs?? I want to listen to them!!

theres 2 on metallica.com called 'my apocolypse' and 'the day that never comes', havent found the 3rd but i heard 'cyanide' on cd done live at ozzfest in america.

saying that, cyanide may be the 3rd track

Listening to My Apocalypse now.

quality is a bit iffy through WMP but songs sound mighty fine! there is a distinct mix of kill/ride/puppets/justice with modern production. me thinks im gonna love this album. it may also be good enough to take pendulum's 'in silico' out of the car cd player too!

what you reckon to it then ant?

That particular song sounds like that mix you mentioned, but leans a lot towards their more recent work, which I honestly detest. It's a bit too clean. Maybe because it doesn't sound so raw and primal as their early work. But, it is a good song. Very thrashy.

know what you mean ant. but at least its not another St. Anger!

I just finished listening to The Day That Never Comes. MUCH better!!

Older Metallica albums had a sort of "wall of sound", a much thicker sound, I can't listen to that here. I know, thye'll probably never release a new album to rival the likes of Master and Justice, but keep in mind that those two albums are icons, topping them could prove next to impossible.

The thing is that after all I've read and heard about the new album, I felt I was being promised Master of Puppets 2, but I know I could never expect that to be a reality. Maybe I should lower MY bar.

Still, TDTNC was awesome.

I think Metallica had the perfect opportunity to call it a day when Jason left.

Now I find them a bit of an embarrasment TBH.

Still love everything pre-Load though

I like it but saying that I like everything they have I even like St. Anger

Their older recordings are good. I love the Justice album perfect for hammering down a back road or just cruising int he car it seems perfectly weighted and timed. Shame they hated Jason so much that they turned the bass down

I got the new cd as a promo 8 weeks ago ,1st track sounds like PANTERA ,then i got bored with the rest .At least Lars Ulrich remembered to put his snare on after the dreadful snare sound on St Anger.
OPETH's Watershed is the CD of 2008 for me, grab a listen its awesome!!!
