no no.. don't sell them short.. it's the best album of the millenia! so the past 8/9 years has not produced a single metal album that is worthy of metallica.. apparently.. haha..
And the next 991 years will also be an epic failure for metal. I guess we all just better quit while we're behind eh?

Hey now Disturbed aint so bad. And sorry SR you're right lol, I'm cutting them way to much slack!
The new metallica album now that I have listened to it is alright, for metallica. It goes back to some of their older roots. But still to me it is no better than any other of the mediocre bands out there. So many awesome metal albums have been released in the past 3 years alone, what are those fags talking about honestly.

After a couple solid listenings (now that I finally have the cd), it's actualy grown on me a bit more....haven't decided on a final 1-10 rating yet though.
I haven't listened to it yet, so I have no opinion at the moment. But I thought I'd share a couple of rambling stories and hopefully make some kind of point in the process.
Iron Maiden's 2006 "A Matter of Life and Death" was leaked before the official release. There were a lot of people trashing it on usenet, and consequently, I did not expect much from it. But being a diehard, I bought it anyway. My first couple of listens, I was not that impressed. But it grew on me, and eventually became one of my favorite Maiden albums of all time, tied for first with Seventh Son. So I guess what I'm saying is that just because a lot of people think it's a stinker, doesn't mean it really is a stinker, to everyone. To this day, a lot of Maiden fans hate that album. That's cool, too. But I love it,
and still listen to it a lot, and that's all that really counts for me.
Second story: Now I'm not bragging or anything, but I was probably the second person in Pittsburgh to ever hear Metallica. What happened was, a buddy of mine, Randy, worked as an intern at a local top 40 station. The radio station got all kinds of records sent to them. Being a Top 40 station, they threw any metal albums straight into the trash. So Randy would dumpster dive and pull out anything that looked like metal. One day he dove in the dumpster, thrashed around a little, and came out clutching... Kill em All!!
So he calls me up, and says, you HAVE TO HEAR THIS MAN!!! He brought it over, and wow....
You guys have any idea how groundbreaking that album was? We loved it - loved it!! There was nothing else like it.
At the time, Kill em All was released on some small record label. You couldn't even go into a National Record Mart and buy a copy. There was no internet. There was one import record store in town that carried it -- that was it. Humble beginnings, people!! Eventually, a major label picked them up, and the rest is history. Now, how many million albums have they sold?
So what's the point of the second story? I have no idea!!
I guess what I'm trying to say is, these guys created a new genre of metal, back when Maiden and Priest were the heaviest bands around. And the fact that they are still around 25 years later, and still making records, and my daughters, my babies! are listening to them on their ipods, and taking guitar lessons, that alone is pretty cool. So give them some respect at least.

By the way, are you in a gaming clan called Xx Elite xX?

Fade to Black imo.
I like the Unforgiven III off the album, I think it's an appropriate follow up to the previous two.
The rest of the album you can take or leave.
eh... I listened to about the first 2 or 3 minutes of every track at a music store cuz they had the whole album there to listen to on those in store headphones. I wasnt really expecting much but I figured id give it a chance. Its way better than their last 3 albums and does sorta resemble the old stuff more but its still extremely generic IMO and certainly nothing I will go out of my way to obtain or listen to.
In all fairness I didnt listen to the whole thing, but I got enough of any idea to know im not very interested.
their old stuff (espessially Puppets IMO) will always be some great music but as far as im concerned they have been finished ever since they released load haha

I just saw my feelings on the new metallica summed up better than I've been able to.

Just saw this on Yahoo's front page
Haha, this is quite a sign of the times.
Haven't heard all of the new album, but what I've heard so far is meh. I lost so much interest in Metallica a long time ago. But Master of Puppets and And Justice for All are still great listening. Despite the utter lack of BASS on the latter. :Smug:

Yeah I think they Did this so that they can Put out a whole new lot of remastered
Cd's after they make enough off the cd's out now , anyone that bought the cd already should just rip it to MP3 crank down the DB's and use MP3 gain to even off the volume , that might help , not that I care about this CD But its not the only one this has been happening to

Someone pointed out the loads of compression used in Paradise Lost too.. even supplied a picture comparing a track to Divine Wings. On Divine Wings you had the wave gong up and and down and repeating like that, and with Paradise Lost it almost looks like 1 big stream. Too much compression now-a-days.
I've been listening Death Magnetic a little more.. is it me or does the snare hit sound the same all the time? Triggered drums?! No velocity change?!?!?! Tsk tsk tsk lol.

Well Death Magnetic is probably the worst example of compression EVER 
Here's something I found on another board...
Also, check it out:
First is the album version, second is the Guitar Hero version
