Metallica - Death Magnetic

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

So the title for the new Metallica album has finally been announced, "Death Magnetic," which quite frankly is a naff title, but less so than "St. Anger."
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/96/Metallica_-_Death_Magnetic.jpg

With the album set to be released in September, what are your thoughts/hopes/fears for the album?

Hopefully they will produce something decent for the first time in over 10 years, even with the master of bland, Rick Rubin. It can only get better after St Anger.

:wave:

[The Mask]

dont care. havent done anything good in almost 20 years so i dont suppose this is going to break the trend.

[The Destroyer]

The horrible title isn't really filling me with confidence.

[Russenmafia]

My hopes are that we have a Metallica album that can be labelled a classic. Black album was ok but I regard And Justice For All the last amazing album Metallica made. Would like the songs to be a bit more harder and some ace guitar solos.

My fears are that we will have another bland album due to Metallica having their heads up their arse. The album will maybe have a few good songs but nothing more. The band have the ability to write amazing music (first four albums) but for some reason prefer this shitty style.

[RP]

I hope it gets leaked on the internet tommorow and Lars head pops off.

[D Mac]

Awesome

[El Fangel]

Christ, I read that as Megadeath at first glance. This better be the shit.

[PorkSoda]

Know whats ironic? Even if this album does suck, alot of people will still say Metallica is the shit because of how awesome they were back in the day.

I wouldnt judge a book by its cover or name, so this obviously could be a good album. If this sounds like their oldder stuff, then it would be swell. At least the name of the album isnt like "Rainbow Stripes" or something like that.

[D Mac]

Metallica will always be "the shit"

[BigDaddyCool]

Why can't they just be a touring band? They don't need to come out with more shitty albums.

[Stickman]

Metallica will always be "the shit"

[Stickman]

Listening to the radio, they were talking about how the people who heard this are saying it sounds along the lines of Master of Puppets/and Justice for All..

That's good enough for me.

[Kalyx triaD]

I just like to hear new material. If anything, they'll have one or two songs that'll trump entire records of other bands. That's what I count on.

[Londoner]

Metallica will always be " shit"

:y:

Well said man, well said. :yes:

[El Fangel]

That's good enough for me.
people always say shit like this about new cds and it rarely holds true. so i'm not holding my breath.

[D Mac]

Negged

He's just mad because his band Guns N Faggots aren't as great as Tallica.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

He's just mad because his band Guns N Faggots aren't as great as Tallica.

Guns N Roes will forever be greater than Metallica. One of the reasons being is that Axl has yet to release multiple cds that shit on their legacy. 1 cd 12 years in the making is better than 3 or 4 cds that make people go "Dear god, just fucking stop."

[Rammsteinmad]

Sounds okay to me. The problem with bands like Metallica is that everyone wants to hear Master of Puppets again. Get with it people. That was released 20 years ago. This is a band that has aged and matured. St. Anger how it's moments. So this one should have to.

This album will likely get bad reviews for two reasons. 1. Everyone expects MOP again. 2. Thus far I've read very good things about the songs on this album, therefore everyone will be expecting "old" Metallica and will instantly be let down.

Myself, I'm looking forward to a good heavy metal album. Regardless if it's Metallica 1988 or Metallica 2008.

\m/ \m/

[Downunder]

I'm looking foward to it as well, and as long as they are over their St Anger phase it might be ok. I don't want Puppets again, we've had Puppets.


Let's be serious, St Anger didn't have any moments

[El Fangel]

He's just mad because his band Guns N Faggots aren't as great as Tallica.

I like both, so I am indifferent, and I didnt actually neg him.

I could not agree more sadly.

Dirty Window, and The Unnamed feeling? still 2 songs cant save an album.

I'm dissapointed. :(

[St. Jimmy]

Metallica sucks, however Jenny Lewis :love:

[El Fangel]

I'm dissapointed. :(

Dude, can you say you honestly never begged for mercy after Load, Reload, and St.Anger?

[El Fangel]

And Some Kind of Monster

:y:

[Rammsteinmad]

Also, the trash can lid thing is in the past. Lars is back to using a proper drum sound.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I think the last Metallica album I didn't hate was Load. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. It doesn't help that Metallica hasn't aged well with me either though.

Hahaah true, Though i imagine there's a few more complicated reasons as to why the album hasn't been released yet.

And DM, i'm not mad at all, cause i know GnR will always be better. :y::yes:

[Stickman]

Not going to lie, I liked Load and Reload.

[Juan]

The horrible title isn't really filling me with confidence.

The title? That's pretty silly. :lol:

I only put them slightly lower the Metallica, they have 3 of my favorite songs.

Welcome to The Jungle
November Rain
and the most ridiculously awesome cover of Knockin on Heavens Door :heart:

Plus Slash :heart:

[D Mac]

I put them slightly lower then cockroaches.

[Londoner]

Yeh DM but you like shit music.

[BigDaddyCool]

I miss Megadeth.

[Mayo]

Not going to lie, I liked Load and Reload.

[D Mac]

Yeh DM but you like shit music.

NOT

Oh snap!

[RoXer]

Just go dl "The Ecstasy of Gold" if you want to hear what the new album will soun like. They released it about a year ago as a "teaser" to the album. It's from their S&M album but only the orchestra was playing on that track so during the recording of this album they recorded their version.

Metallica may have "matured" but the quality of their songs and albums has dropped big time. With Load, Reload and St Anger there were only 3 songs on each album that I liked. The rest of the album was garbage with bland boring shitty songs.

Puppets is held in high regard because every song on it is amazing. Kill Em All, Ride The Lighting and Justice all were excellent albums with very few bad tracks on them. These albums are timeless and the reason why people still love Metallica to this day.

The new album doesn't need to sound like the old stuff, it just needs to sound good with the majority of the songs being excellent. I hope this is the case and Death Magnetic can be regarded one of Metallica's best albums.

[Stickman]

Firstly, I like every Metallica album (St. Anger not as much).

But I'm tired of the argument of Load and Reload being bland boring songs when you listen to the old albums half the songs on each album sound very very similar. Battery and Master of Puppets anyone? I dont' know why everybody is all "Their last 3 albums suck but Justice rules." Yes, Justice was great but the first 5 songs all sound somewhat the same.

BTW. I obvoiusly dont' know technical musical terms so its hard to elaborate on when and where other than, listen to that song, then listen to this song and they're similar.

[Champion of Europa]

I dont really see how that's valid. The fact that they recorded Ecstasy of Gold from this album has little bearing on what their new album will sound like as they did it a few years ago on S&M and it is also a song composed by Ennio Morricone for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

They did not play it on S&M.

Only the orchestra played it on S&M.

Yes I know it is from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly but they have recorded their cover of it.

[El Fangel]

Not too bad.

[Rammsteinmad]

Will that be on the new album? Coz that was really cool.

[El Fangel]

I love from 1:20-1:40

[Smitty]

I've been checking out http://www.missionmetallica.com lately. They have a few vids of the recording process and some short clips of them recording. Sounds alright so far. I just wish they would release a fucking single already. One should be out by July early August if it's a September album release.

[Rammsteinmad]

There's a few clips of the new album here:

http://www.missionmetallica.com/

Once it's loaded wait for the song clip to play for a second, then click on "Mission: Metallica" on the right hand side (next to the screen).

Pretty awesome. The "Suicide, I've already died" and the "Bow down, sell your soul to me" bits sound fucking killer.

[El Fangel]

Ok, "Suicide, I've already died" and how the song sounds while he is singing it gives me some good vibes :)

Oh yeah?

[El Fangel]

:y:

[D Mac]

Yo FA you need to download that Metallica at Rock AM Ring 2008 I put in the Metallica group. It's a full 2 hr set. Kickass

[El Fangel]

Will do, and thanks.

[RoXer]

So have we all downloaded "The Day That Never Comes"? The new single that was released yesterday?

[BigDaddyCool]

I heard a track of this album. It sucked. Fuck you Metallica, you bunch of washed up hacks.

[Shaggy]

im listening to the new track now....

I never thought I would really say what im about to say....

Everything about the song is awesome EXCEPT for Hetfields voice.

His voice sticks out badly and just doesnt work with the song for me. The song kinda feels like they were trying to go for a "Nothing Else Matters" vibe but hs voice just seems like its changed so much.

kinda agree with you. His voice just doesn't suit this song at all. Bar that, the song is amazing.

[Rammsteinmad]

Not bad not bad. Cyanide seems pretty good and The Day That Never Comes is alright. I think this will be a pretty good album.

Also I think Hetfields voice has definitely improved after his vocals on St. Anger.

[Destor]

Tyler BLack likes the new single. Therefor it must be awesome.

[Shaggy]

I wanna hear Unforgiven 3. I like the first two and like how the words of 2 go....im curious to see how they fit the number 3 in the song like they did 2.

[Disturbed316]

You'll be Unforgiven three times

[El Fangel]

Hey Crossrine!

Unforgiven II > Unforgiven III > Unforgiven I

[Crossrine]

Hey Crossrine!

Unforgiven II > Unforgiven III > Unforgiven I

YOU SON OF A BITCH!! YOUR DEAD TO ME YOU HEAR??!?! DEAD!!! YOU PACK YOUR SHIT AND MOVE OUT!!

IM DISOWNING YOU!!!!!!!

[BigDaddyCool]

The new metallica is simply awful. Anyone that says other wise is fooling themselves.

[thedamndest]

I just heard the new single today. I am what you would call a "casual Metallica fan" but it's the best thing they've done in a long time...except for the vocals/lyrics. They should really take a "less is more" approach to that from now on. But everything else, especially the drumming was pretty great.

[Stickman]

I didn't really like the first minute or two of the song, but it builds and builds and gets better and better.

[El Fangel]

I for what am not saying they aren't awful, I am holding out hope for something better.

[El Fangel]

:naughty:

[Stickman]

A second song is on Metallica.com

Hetfeild's voice isn't as annoying in this song.

[D Mac]

Hetfield's voice is never annoying. :foc:

[Stickman]

When how he's singing doesn't suit the song, it can be. Can't wait till Sepetmber 12th.

[PorkSoda]

The new song, The Day That Never Comes, I really don't listen to Hefield's voice because the guitar work is so beautiful/mellow in the beginning and then it just goes into a crazy solo during the end. That's worth listening to by itself.

But Hetfields voice is pretty good during it, no complaints.

Probably the best song I've heard all year.

CHeeseballs.

[Nowhere Man]

Just listened to 'My Apocalypse' from the new album. The guitar work sounds almost straight out of Ride the Lightning, has a great old-school thrash feel. Hetfield's vocals seem a little out of place now that he sounds so different from how he did back in the day, but it's still a pretty kickass song. I'll bet it'd be amazing live.

'The Day That Never Comes' is unbelievably good, too. I cannot wait for this album.

[El Fangel]

'The Day That Never Comes' is unbelievably good, too. I cannot wait for this album.

[Requiem]

The only shocker so far is that I actually somewhat enjoy The Day That Never Comes. Not a fan of the other stuff though.

[D Mac]

Well it's a start, anyway Req. :y:

[El Fangel]

Glad you finally seen the light Req.

[Requiem]

I dunno.. 1 out of 3 isn't spectacular or anything.

[U-Warrior]

Review up at rollingstone.

http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/22723926/review/22787142/death_magnetic

Sounds promising.

[El Fangel]

Seen the commercial today, so pumped.

[D Mac]

Glad I pre-ordered. It would be awesome if I got it before the 12th.

[DaveWadding]

I will say this for Metallica:

It's fucking sad that guitarist with the talent that Kirk Hammett has is stuck with hacks like Hetfield and Lars.

[Downunder]

David you listen to Evansence, you are hardly one to comment :p

[Requiem]

Nah, it's true. Kirk Hammett has talent, and is wasting it on Metallica.

[D Mac]

:foc:

[Stickman]

Yeah, Metallica must suck. Selling millions of records and selling out stadiums is a sign of Crappy music.

[Requiem]

Britney Spears sold millions of records and sold out concerts too. She must be amazing.

[Stickman]

Britney Spears sold millions of records and sold out concerts too. She must be amazing.

She obviously did something right.

[St. Jimmy]

Song was pretty alright, The video was pretentious and stupid and should never be released.

[U-Warrior]

So this was leaked already.

Listened to the whole thing. Yeah, old school metallica is definitely back. All-around, it's pretty fucking awesome.

[D Mac]

Not gonna listen to any of it until I get the CD in.

[Downunder]

I listened to it this morning on tye flight I was on - pretty fucking good.


It ain't ShiT Anger, that's for sure. Got a real old skool feel about it, but still fresh.


Now I'm going to fuck off and wank over my Lars posters

[Shaggy]

I was listening to the CD all day today at work...

I fucking love this CD... All Nightmare Long is probably my favorite song on the CD and I cant wait to play this CD on Guitar Hero.

[U-Warrior]

I don't think its possible to play some of those solos on Guitar Hero.

[Requiem]

The Day That Never Comes and The Unforgiven III are pretty much the only decent songs on this. The others all sound the same over and over. Granted, it's not as horrible as St. Anger, but it's nothing spectacular.

[D Mac]

My copy has been shipped! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Disturbed316]

Picked this up today at a store in town, looks like the release date was broken. Only listened to a couple of tracks so far but loved what I've heard.

[Downunder]

The more I listen to it the more I like it.

[darkpower]

Hetfield's voice is never annoying. :foc:

Then you haven't heard Some Kind Of Monster or Frantic yet (with all due respect).

"SSSSSOOOEEEEOOOWWWMMMM KIND OF MONSSSTEEAAAUUURRR!!"

[Downunder]

St Anger doesn't exist darkpower

[Fryza]

Just downloaded this album.

Gotta say, I liked Saint Anger more than this.

Album sucks.

[darkpower]

St Anger doesn't exist darkpower

Actually, it does.

It was in the comedy section of the record stores, though.

[Crossrine]

ok, what the fuck, UNFORGIVEN THREE? :rant: STOP OVERUSING A GREATEST HIT ALREADY

[Downunder]

It was always going to be a trilogy Crossrine.

[El Fangel]

I want to hear this now.

[Rammsteinmad]

Got mine today, haven't heard all of it yet though, just bits. Definitely liking Cyanide, The Day That Never Comes and The Judas Kiss.

[Rammsteinmad]

Oh, and the intro to That Was Just Your Life is awesome!

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

That first track definitly sounds like they have mixed the the sound of "...and justice for all" with the black album.

In general there is a definite, old-shit sound.

[l westie l]

death magnetic is wiked i luv it.

[D Mac]

Mine hasn't got here yet. Might have to wait til Monday. :(

[Fryza]

Then listen to older Metallica stuff.

Remember what it sounded like when they were good.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Whilst I'm liking the album, the production - in particular the mastering - is piss poor. It is constantly clipping. Whoever mastered the album seems to have one philosophy: louder the better. There is definitly distortion there that shouldn't be... if you get me.

There isnt an actual CD rip off the CD yet. Just recording over the CD itself as it plays so the quality is shitty.

I bought the album.

They should of got Bob Ludwig to master the album.

[Nowhere Man]

Just finished listening to the whole thing. Fucking amazing. 'Judas Kiss' and 'That Was Just Your Life' are all kinds of kickass, 'The End of the Line' is kinda weak, and I ended up liking 'Unforgiven III' more than I thought I was going to.

Overall, I don't think it's going to change anyone's minds as to whether or not they like Metallica. But for those of us who already do, it's awesome.

[Rammsteinmad]

I've heard it a few times now and love it. Absolutely amazing.

However, there is one thing that pisses me off. All the doubters who said Metallica are crap, can't do it anymore, lost the plot, should go back to the old style etc... They're too fucking proud to admit that "Hey, you know what, Metallica have done a good job here", so now they fucking nitpick everything like "Oh it all sounds the same" or whatever.

Kinda agree with what Nowhere Man said, the haters will always hate, but the fans are gonna love it.

If that was directed at me saying 'It all sounds the same' or whatever, I will have you know that I think 95% of all Metallica's music sucks. Not just the new stuff. S&M is the only decent quality album they ever put out.

[Stickman]

Maybe I was half asleep at the time but to me The Unforgiven 3 sounded nothing like the first 2.

[Sepholio]

Gotta get this album just for The Unforgiven III. The Unforgiven II off of Reload is one of my fave tracks ever. Hell that whole album rules you all.

[Nowhere Man]

Yeah, Unforgiven III really should've had a different title. I still liked the song, but it doesn't fit in with the first two.

Oh, and Req, I wasn't aiming that at you specifically, but thanks for pointing yourself out.

[The Naitch]

LISTENING TO IT RIGHT NOW. I LOVE IT LIKE I LOVE NOWHERE MAN!!OMG!!!!!FTW!!!!!!!

[The Naitch]

ok, I'm on my second round of listening to this. Probably gonna listen to this thing over and over again for the next week

[BigDaddyCool]

I love how to people who love Metallica no matter what are getting all pissed because other people don't blindly love whatever crap Metallica puts out. I've listened to so tracks from the new album, I honestly don't care for it.

[Downunder]

After Load, Re-Load and St. Anger, this really is a breath of fresh air

[blake639raw]

I listened to My Apocalypse, Broken, Beat, & Scarred, & Unforgiven 3. I was like wft Metallica is playing metal again? I mean it's not up there with the first 4 I don't think, but its easily the best work they've put out since the Black album. I really didn't give a shit about Metallica anymore, but I must say I'm impressed with what I've heard from the new album.

[D Mac]

I love how to people who love Metallica no matter what are getting all pissed because other people don't blindly love whatever crap Metallica puts out. I've listened to so tracks from the new album, I honestly don't care for it.

Lovin this album. HOT SHIT

[BigDaddyCool]

And Diesel Mac proves my point.

[Tazz Dan]

Picked it up yesterday. :heart: it!!!

[RGWhat316]

I finally went and picked this up on Thursday, and I am impressed. I haven't even made it through the whole thing yet due to lack of time, and by how much i love the first tracks. Why "The Day That Never Comes" is the first single is beyond me? If they wanted everyone to think that sucks, buy it anyways and be blown away, then it worked.

I have been listening to that was just your life, cyanide, and all nightmare long the most so far.

[El Fangel]

That Was Just Your Life - 9/10
The End Of The Line - 7/10 - Its good, but reminds me of a Pearl Jam song...
Broken, Beat & Scarred - 8/10 - I like this lots
The Day That Never Comes - 10/10 - Love this song
All Nightmare Long - 9/10 - I love that intro. :heart:
Cyanide - 10/10 - Fucking WOW!
The Unforgiven III - 6/10 -Did not like the lyrics at all, doesnt fit the Unforgiven haunting theme the other two songs had

Pretty much the whole album front to back. I have been listening to this over and over again. Not a real hardcore Metallica fan, but just something about this album that makes me go Diesel Mac

[El Fangel]

Yeah, the whole album is pretty good, some semi-good songs, but mostly good.

[Fryza]

metallica are still the best metal band. they rock

No.

[D Mac]

Yes.

[Fryza]

Yes.

There are better metal bands than Metallica. That isn't a jab at Metallica, just better metal bands.

[Stickman]

I have this cd in my car and haven't not listened to it while driving since i got it. Really starting to like Unforgiven 3 more and more everytime i listen to it

[Kalyx triaD]

Unforgiven 3's solo is worth the price of the album. The lead/rhythm pairing is perfect to me.

[Nowhere Man]

There are better metal bands than Metallica. That isn't a jab at Metallica, just better metal bands.

Such as...?

[Mayo]

I only listened to it once but I thought it was very good. Unforgiven 3 didnt impress me as much as it did some people, but maybe if I listen to the album a few times my opinion will change. Loved the instrumental song Suicide and Redemption.

[Fryza]

There are "better" but they are not listed there

[Tb1]

Megadeth? Come now. Music's good, but vocals suck.

[Sepholio]

This album is amazing.

Oh, and Megadeth will always rock just because of 99 ways to die.

[El Fangel]
