After St. Anger, I'm sure a lot of people gave up on these guys, and whereas the new songs aren't all too much like old Metallica.. they're definitely a vast improvement from the previous album.

"My Apocalypse"

Give it a listen the whole way through, I'm kinda diggin' this one

"The Day That Never Comes"

This ones not bad either, though I like Apocalypse better. Musically I think they are getting back on track, but lyrically Hetfield is kinda milky.

its been on sirius a couple weeks akready. they were playing the live recording of cianide (new song) since the ozzfest in dallas. then just earlier this week got a new single. its not that bad.

MQue

I can't wait for this album. Rick Rubin produced it:woot:

Nelson

I read that people said it sucks. :hs:

shirley

reload was the last album worth anything, S&M had a uniqueness to it but overall was lacking

ride the lightning was the best

not expecting great things out of this new album at all and would not waste money going to see them. hetfield is a giant douche to top it off and is imo one of the biggest reasons if not the biggest newsted no longer has any affiliation

MQue

Masters was my favorite. album, actually it's my favorite rock album.

Nightshade

New album sucks balls.

It has no continuity to the songs, it's like they took all the suggestions of what fans wanted to hear and tossed them into each song with no regard for flow at all.....and don't even get me started on the lyrics. seriously what whiney bitch wrote this crap?

Even rick rubin can't save this band...they were done after Master came out, they were just too dumb to see it and accept it.

shabacash

was never a metallica fan. i am one of those few who complaints about mandatory metallica hours on radio stations.

Joe

I don't even want to listen.

Draconius

I am going to download it MANY times. I think it would be HILARIOUS if no one bought it but downloaded it on torrent.
