New Metallica song "The Day that Never Comes"

Definitely an improvement from St. Anger, but not quite perfect.

 

[Einherjar86]

Kinda boring, actually.

 

[The Ozzman]

Sounds like something off Load/Reload

I'll probably buy it

 

[tagradh]

Sounds shit, like 99% of Metallica. How suprising.

I like it. First part reminds me of 'Sanitarium' meets 'Loverman'. Second part has some cool riffing and soloing. Looking forward to the album.

It's not perfect, but it's a huge improvement from St. Anger, due to the fact they are letting Kirk do solos again. I thought it was actually pretty good.

 

[Omni]

Way, way better than I expected, but still not amazing.

 

[Deicidal]

*Yawn*

Same old new metallica.

 

[~Neurotica]

It's not that bad.

 

[CF87]

Wow that sucked. Metallica should just call it a day.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Man, I thought that was dreadful. Just James's voice makes me cringe and has since the Black album. I will always be confused until death as to where that talent all went.

My thoughts on this, as I was listening:

Holy shit, lead guitar.
Still boring. When do distorted guitars come in, or is this album all slow songs?
Got better here. Decent clean arpeggio stuff.
UGH...is that Hetfield?
Better than Stanger. But still...maybe over distorted?
There we go. Much better. Not bad now, actually. Sweet, more leads.
Fuck, it went soft again.
These lyrics are kinda silly. At least he doesn't end every line with "-ah"
wait, yes he does
How about some of those thrash-sounding songs we heard in that video they had up?
Also, why does this sound shitty? I mean, the actual sound, it's pretty bad...kinda fuzzy. I dunno. Don't think it's my headphones.
This just got gay.
Now it's not totally gay, just lame.
Solo plz?
There we go. Good solo now?
Nope.
You'd think after all these years lars could come up with a more interesting beat. At least he's not using trash cans anymore.
This song bites, but at least the album won't blow as much as Stanger.
Oh, hey, good solo. More like it. Reminds me of the solos on The Black Album, or maybe Ride. In a good way.
How long must this faggotry continue? This is like over 7 minutes without any killer riffs or good vocal lines.
So when they write these songs, do they actually think they're good? Because that'd be sad. But if they realize this stuff sucks...
Whatever. Had enough.

 

[cannibal corpse]

^ Pretty much.

All that is left of old Metallica is Kirks guitar skills.

 

[XSASweet]

God, that was pretty boring. I don't care how good the solo at the end was (it wasn't bad) but I could never listen to that song for a second time.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Sounds like Metallica in their 40's.

I thought it was pretty good. It seems deeper and more complex than the stuff on Load.

I wouldn't expect them to do anything close to their first three albums of course, but this one sounds like it could be at least on par with Load.

I kinda liked that fuzzy sound, I hope it's not just a trick played on my senses by poor MySpace quality.

As for the song itself... Utterly unremarkable.

 

[SWAT]

I liked it, it's not great by any means. But I enjoy how they are doing solo's again. I would say overall I'd give the song a 6.5/10
