lords of summer

The song almost sounds like the very first tracks made by a trash metal (notice the intentional typo) band featuring five 13-year old kids with greasy, long-ass hair, wearing Death Magnetic-shirts.
The band that most likely categorizes themselves as "trash" but most likely have some acoustic ballads and the usual pop/rock-attempts ("We like Nickelback as much as Metallica!"). Don't forget the complete ripoffs from known favorites of bigger, succesful bands - they're sure no one will notice it. :)

In all seriousness though, this song is utterly uninspiring and boring. And the lenght.... Why do they feel that they have to push the songs 6+ mins when there's clearly nothing to push? Boring riffs with barely mediocre ideas in general, nothing to write home about (only, that it sucks so bad!).

I can't recall though, was there any wah-action at all?? :O
 
Its been downhill since S&M really, and I stopped listening to albums around st anger time. I'll always check out what they have going on though, it's just lacked energy/conviction/muscianship/production quality since the dizzy heights they worked up to in the early 90's. Where does any band go after realeasing something as monumental as the black album though.

Nice little harmony in the solo :D!
 
S&M, really? That recent?:lol:

It just kills it when all the whoa-ah! yeah-heah! Whoa-yeah-heah-uh! comes in. James, the 80's have been over for a while now, no need to do the womauwn shamon shit anymore-ah!
 
I think it pretty much kicks ass. Hetfield's high notes don't sound too great and like their other new albums they seem to turn what should be 4 minute songs into 8 minute songs.
 
For an early-on demo-ish sounding bunch of riffs, it's really not that bad imo. Has a slightly Kill 'Em All vibe to it musically...but dem vocals man. Fucking kill it every time. Fran-tick tick tick tick tock!!! Hell even Lars' drumming doesn't bother me so much here as much as those goddamn lyrics and singing.
 
^ cant agree, this isnt good enough even for a demo. If they really listened to what their mates are doing in the style, like the last album of Testament, Exodus, even the last Anthrax is almost gold compared to this and I didnt like it. They would be ashamed to put something so painful like this.

It´s ironic bit this sounds like a crap ideia for their 1 album, kill em all. :zombie:
 
Meh-'tallica.


Srsly though, I think I read somewhere that they use to do that now, they throw everything together and see if it works.
I think this is just a WIP song state.

Some of the instrumental parts are pretty cool me thinks.
Mix is better than the last few albums too haha
 
not sure why all the hate... seems to me like they are heading further in the right direction. is it as good as the 80s? will it ever be as good as the 80s? sadly, like coke and hookers, the answer is a resounding no.
