[16S]

No talk of a remaster to remove all the annoying clipping!uke:

"METALLICA frontman James Hetfield was quoted in Revolver as saying, "'The Blackening' [is] unbelievable. Unbelievable sound and power. It sounds like a band on fire. They have really turned it on again for me." "

HAHA! Unbelievable sound and power = clipping!
Nobheads!!!!

Special edition? So did they write some decent songs to replace what was on the ordinary version? heh.

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

I really liked the Blackening. But I already fucking bought it, and I don't want to sell it to buy the new one! God damn.

They should release the B-sides disc on its own.

 

[NickL]

I'm waiting for a vinyl pressing. Let's see them try to get a stylus to follow the clipping on Wolves. HAH!

 

[Rez]

Meh, once again Roadrunner release a "special edition" a year or so after the original release to make a few extra quid. I hate it when they do that.

 

[cobhc]

This fucks me off. I bought the album with the dvd earlier this year, and now they bring this out, with all the extra shit I'd love to see, and now I've gotta fork out money and buy this version as well. Anyone wanna buy my original copy?
