What are your feelings on the next Metallica album? Supposedly they are going further back to a thrash sound, like Master of Puppets.
Here are 2 new songs that are supposed to be on the new album:

it could be good, st. anger was dirt shit but i love all their other stuff
I myself have been greatly disheartend since the release of the black album . I don't think anythings gonna change real soon either . :wtf3:
Crispi :jointsmile:
Yeah...what the fuck happened to James??? His voice definitely can't handle this shit anymore. If this is any indication of what the entire album is gonna sound like, then there's another Metallica album I won't be buying.Quote:

I didn't hate their Bob Seger cover and I kinda liked that song that had Marianne Faithful singing on it.
I like the beginning. It sounds a lot like early Metallica, I can hear Kill Em All, Master of Puppets, Justice for All, and even a bit of a Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth influence. It's raw and they are tight, the first song is typically complicated and have that early Metallica signature, but Hetfeld's voice is rough. I found his singing quite grating from the black album onwards.
The second song reminds me of Motorbreath, the track from Kill Em All, and the band Motorhead. It's not anything special.
I like the new logo with the "etalicc" missing from the middle.
That's my review of the Retrotallica cover band.
I never even bothered listening to st anger properly and I doubt I will go mad for this album either. James should go back to starting his day with a bowl of cornflakes with vodka instead of milk. They said how much metallica used to be dicks to other, st anger was gonna rock because of rehabs and that they all loved each other now. Well it didnt so no more betty fords please!

The second song really surprised me as it sounded like something from Kill 'em All, very good IMO and will sound much better on a properly produced album of course. But I also agree with you guys, James can't seem to do angry metal vocals anymore.
It seems that old age is taking its toll upon them all... James voice is not the same... the sound resembles metallica, but not the old metallica we know...
For me Metallica lost its appeal after the black album.
Anyway, this album may be far better than st. anger (what is not a very difficult thing ;))
Actually in an interview recently robert said neither song made it onto the final cut of the album. Just parts of the first song.
Me too! Thats the metallica i knew and loved! Pity it does not exist anymore... Sad but true...Quote:

After the massive commercial success of the black album it has all seemed too well "commercial". I'm not saying they are sell outs i mean doing a tom cruise movie song that's not commercial is it?, and i'm sure that big battle lars had with napster was just cause he was struggling to make ends meet right? i mean we all saw how poor he was at that art auction. I see this album as just another money spinner, clearley their hearts are not in it anymore. They are claiming to be going back to the old days but they just sound like shit.
Robert Trujillo save Metalica's ass. . .
How i miss Cliff Burton... ah... good times...
I used to love metallica just like any other guitar playin punk teenager, but I've lost interest greatly over the years. load and reload were barely mediocre (there were a couple songs i remember liking)... st. anger was fucking awful. And I just find the older stuff so played out, and cliche that i get bored of it...
IMO these days Mastodon reigns over Metalica has the thrash metal band to listen to. Mastodon fuckin destroys (especially live)
Where do you get the illusion Metallica was ever a thrash band? The only thing even close to thrash that they came out with was Kill em all, and maybe parts of master of puppets.
