Whatever.
We already had a thread about this. The general feeling is one of low expectations and apathy.

 

[The Ozzman]

This might be Black Album caliber material

 

[waif]

That would be nice, but the two songs that have been played live sound really meh.

 

[Uncreation]

Those 2 aren't going to be on the album anyway. Not as the songs they were 2 years ago, anyway.

I don't like the album title. Hopefully there's a concept somewhere along the line, and as such will make the name seem better. As of now, it doesn't make much sense.

Death Magnetic?
It's better than Load or St. Anger.
I think we should settle for "not entirely awful" at this stage of the game.

y.

More like Death Pathetic, amirite?

Honestly, if I can hear the bass on this album, that will be a step in the right direction in and of itself

 

[Uncreation]

Better than St. Anger, definitely. Better than Load? Not really. Neither of those were very good though, of course (although the album art did involve a guy's 'load', so it worked in that sense). But "Death Magnetic" is ridiculous, as it stands. "Death Magnet" or even "Magnetic Death" would make more sense - even if it would sound similar "Megadeth" at the point, which I'm sure they wouldn't be too happy about.

 

[The Ozzman]

Load is a good album

 

[waif]

It is. I was referring to the title, which kinda sucks.

 

[Uncreation]

Indeed it is. The only Metallica I don't like is St. Anger, and that has it's merits too, I suppose (it's the album that got me into metal).

 

[The Ozzman]

Load is a damn good hard rock album. It has some metal tingers, but it definitely isn't metal. Songs like Bleeding Me and King Nothing make that album great

frantic-tic-tic-tic-tic-TIC-TIC-TIC-TOC!!! :zombie:uke:

 

[AchrisK]

This might be Black Album caliber material

And thus, it will suck.

 

[The Ozzman]

Black Album is good, but not excellent like the first four albums

frantic-tic-tic-tic-tic-TIC-TIC-TIC-TOC!!! :zombie:uke:

"You went into another voice there dude. It was awesome"
"Yeah it was"

I love Some Kind of Monster.

Black Album is good, but not excellent like the first four albums

I don't mean to be a dick, but to me everything after Justice is all in exactly the same categotry: music I don't like. AJFA is in it's own category as a weird release that I am still not sure how I feel about. The first four (including Garage Days) to me are good albums that I like.

Nothing wrong with 'the black album' at all. Although, as said, it's definitely not of the same caliber as it's predecessors. It could have been far better than it was if they had handled it differently - using Newsted's idea of keeping "My Friend of Misery" as an instrumental track, for instance.

 

[AchrisK]

Nothing wrong, except that it wasn't a thrash album. Yeah, they can do what they want, but I never signed up for hard rock, so they are dead to me.
