James actually sounds good, the chorus is good, solo work is nice...the bridge is horrible though, and some of the riffs are just rambling with nothing interesting happening. Overall it's ok - better than St. Anger obviously

it's alright
trying too hard to be One and kinda failing.

Wow, you were not lying. That almost kills the song. They sound alright; I'm glad the long riffs and solos are back, and it doesn't sound like Lars is banging on trash cans anymore. Hetfield's voice sounds kinda nasally or something. But yeah, definitely better than St. Anger.

I honestly completely forgot this album was coming out so soon.

The Drum is still too fucking loud like in St Anger. But its overall nicer than any of the songs on the last album.

TVC15 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 21, 2008, 07:45:02 PM »

So it's half decent? Does this mean James started drinking again, even if only light beer?

Robo · « **Reply #7 on:** August 21, 2008, 08:04:18 PM »

Surprise, surprise. This ain't half bad.

Haven't they been a bit too loud for some time now? I distinctly remember thinking they were too loud on the Black Album.

Not really even half decent. Being better than St. Anger don't mean shit.

1. "That Was Just Your Life"

4. "The Day That Never Comes" – 7:52
5. "All Nightmare Long"
6. "Cyanide"
7. "The Unforgiven III"
8. "The Judas Kiss"
9. "Suicide & Redemption"
10. "My Apocalypse"

If not for Unforgiven III (what the fuck @ that) I could easily have mistaken this as the tracklist for the new Underoath album

You are so unforgiven that it'll take 3 songs to show it.

Song titles are funny

Meh at the new stuff so far.

No, he was drinking A LOT during the Load, Re-Load days so no more of that please.

It's half decent because they're a whole band and they have Rubin. If this was another Bob Rock album it'd suck major donkey dick. This will probably just suck minor donkey dick....listening to it right now and WTF at that I want to be One bridge. I hear what you guys are saying. Man this is kinda pathetic. $:-\$

Unforgiven III

Unforgiven II was a play on two/too... I'm interested to see what spin they can possibly take with the latest song in the saga

I was listening to the Black Album today and remembering how fucking awesome Metallica can be...

TVC15 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:28:17 PM »

I guess the song is okay for modern day Metallica. The build is too slow, and when it does finally break and get faster, it just kind of sounds like an imitation of Justice Metallica. And I don't know if it's over-produced or not, but the song just lacks any energy. Hetfield sounds like he's doing a subpar, kinda bored Hetfield impersonation, and even when the song rocks out, it's just kinda eh.

Its decent at best. Nice solo, meh everything else.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #17 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:43:54 PM »

not bad. pd is spot on, though -- the bridge from 4:00 to 5:00 is fuckin' awful.

but after 5:00:

that's the metallica we remember

it's official, het ruined them, metallica is best when he's silent

i give it a b-/c+

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:45:36 PM »

i think lars is a bit overpowering until kirk puts him in place

Tauntaun · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:53:09 PM »

The mix on that sounds weird too I'm not liking the production, sounds poorly mixed.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #20 on:** August 22, 2008, 12:17:29 AM »

My expectations were low for this and they were exceeded. I don't expect them ever to return to their 80s style. To me, this seems like Re-Re-Load. Which is a dramatic improvement from St. Anger but in the end, it is still their shadow of their former selves. Kill Em All to Self Titled still are the only Metallica albums worth buying. The good news is that they made a dramatic departure from St. Anger which means their next album could be a classic return to form, if only for an album or two more before they hang it up.

I'll probably download this.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #21 on:** August 22, 2008, 01:31:48 AM »

I was introduced to Metallica through the Black Album so my experiences are different than people who grew up on their first three albums. The radio used to play Black Album stuff 24/7, and through Midnight Metallica I wound up hearing much of their early stuff, eventually resulting in me buying their first three albums. They've got plenty of good melodic songs but sometimes James seems to step too far out of his abilities as a singer/songwriter. That bridge is an example

TVC15 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 22, 2008, 01:50:26 AM »

I can't believe he used "love is a four letter word" in the lyrics. So deep, James.

It's fucking hard and thrashy but eh. Some good parts but overall the vocals are eh. James is trying too hard

My Apocalypse is fucking amazing. The opening riff reminds me a lot of something Sabbath or AC/DC would do, but updated for this decade.

I agree, it's good shit.

The lyrics are TERRIBLY hackneyed for the most part but I'm actually surprised that it isn't as bad as I was expecting. Judas Kiss, That Was Just Your Life, and The End of the Line are all pretty good

lordmaji · « **Reply #36 on:** September 03, 2008, 11:27:35 AM »

well, this new album so far is pretty good.

The riffs rock, the solos are fast and decent. No bad so far.

If you pre-order this at Best Buy or something, you get a code for Guitar Hero tracks

Listened to it, nothing overwhelms me. Maybe I'll check out the rest of the album when I can be bothered to look up the song titles then plug them into youtube.

No, it's pretty shitty altogether. There are a couple good songs though. It's probably better than anything they've done since the Black Album but that's not saying a whole lot. And Hetfield's voice is pretty much gone now. I would have rather they ended on this album than St. Anger though

when you say "one of the best" it generally implies at least top 10.
if it didn't I could just name any album thats good and say it's one of the best even though it might only be the 100th or 101st best.
