Megan Ruiz13 said:Regarding those new tracks—the first one is actually decent. That part right before the solo and the solo itself? Absolute fire. It honestly gives me old-school Metallica vibes. But the rest of the song? It sounds like something that could’ve easily slipped onto the St. Anger album, and man, I cannot stand that record.

The second track isn't anything special either. Basically, we're looking at two pretty mediocre songs from a band of this caliber, though I guess they're still miles better than the trash on St. Anger—not that being better than that dumpster fire is exactly a high bar to clear.

But hey, we'll see. Personally, I'm not holding my breath because I really don't want to get burned again like I did with the last album. Still, there's a tiny glimmer of hope that this record might actually be good, especially seeing how their tour has been going lately. They haven't sounded this tight live in years.

Here's what I'm talking about...

The first one is KILLER!!!! The second is just okay. I'm guessing they didn't lead with their absolute best stuff for the tour, so I'm hoping things only get better from here.

I might pick it up. I'm not usually a huge fan of this stuff, but if the reviews come back positive 😬 then I'll consider it. Probably just grab it online. 😳

Honestly, I don't even buy physical CDs anymore—especially not music (the only one I actually own is Vertigo by U2)—but I think I'll pull the trigger on this one😁. But hey, there's still plenty of time before then...

What the hell is a Hetfield? Sounds like someone just choked on a bone...

He's 43, if I recall correctly. Add a long history of alcoholism he's finally beaten, plus over 20 years of basically destroying his voice... it all takes a toll.

True, he isn't even a shadow of his former self, but as a person—and as a father—it’s a positive change.

I've been watching these clips lately... and honestly, the new bassist is just incredibly grating.

I don't think you can really mess with me when it comes to James.👍 Those songs are a total wreck; St. Anger was a disaster. Honestly, they aren't even a shadow of what they used to be.

So, I navigated to the page and waited for everything to load, but there’s absolutely no sound coming through. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

You’d think Metallica would finally drop an actual masterpiece after all this time. Let's be honest—the metal scene today is pretty lackluster. But even in a shallow market, true quality and real substance are timeless. Look at Iron Maiden—the greatest metal band of all time. After over 30 years of touring, they actually released their absolute best work this year: "a Matter of Life and Death." The sheer power, intensity, and raw emotion packed into this record? It honestly makes everyone else look incompetent, even people outside the genre. If you don't own this yet, go get it and listen until you lose your mind. As for Metallica... well, for them, this situation could easily become a matter of life and death. It’s getting harder for them to hold any respect from serious listeners who actually demand quality instead of just another redundant release in a long line of mediocre albums... I truly, deeply want them to just deliver an okay album for once...

The Black Album—easily one of the greatest metal albums ever made.
St. Anger—without a doubt the absolute worst piece of garbage in music history!!!

They’re trying to get back to their roots, but it’s just not working. Ever since the Black album, they've gone too far down the experimental rabbit hole, losing plenty of fans along the way—not to mention that whole mess with Napster.

Word is that when they used to play Disposable Heroes before the Master of Puppets release, the track was a total mess, even though it sounds perfectly polished on the record. So, none of this really matters now...
We’re still a long way from the end of the year, and out of those 25 songs they wrote, I doubt more than five will actually be any good.

Some aunt of mine was telling me that the new album should probably feel a bit like master of puppetarija..
but honestly... once it actually drops, you just know there's gonna be a bunch of kids out there trashing it, saying stuff like "they're just doing it for the money..." or "it's way too commercial now," and all that crap.
Still, you can't really sit there and bash Metallica if you look back at their old stuff.
To me, Master of Puppets is easily their best played album..
and ...and justice for All is just one of the most badass ones out there..
all in all, I'm counting down my own $110 😬

But the rest of the song feels like something that could've easily ended up on the St. Anger album, and I honestly can't stand that record.

The second track doesn't do much for me either. Honestly, you've got two pretty mediocre songs here for a band of this caliber, though they're still miles ahead of anything on the St. Anger album—not that it takes much effort to beat that absolute garbage.

We'll see. Personally, I'm not expecting much—I really don't want to deal with another disappointment like that last album. But, I still have a little hope they might pull it off, especially seeing how they've been touring this year. Honestly, they haven't sounded this good live in years.

Here's what I'm thinking...

Check this out. It’s like watching history unfold right in front of you.

I don't know much about this specific clip, but it reminds me of how things used to be back in the day. It’s like listening to an old classic record for the first time.


To me, they sound a little better, just like St.A. did. I'm still holding out hope that we'll get at least one good track out of them. Creeping, thanks for those links—they sound killer, still have that raw live energy. I really hope we actually get a chance to hear them in person one of these days, instead of just being stuck like that one year.😠 I've got two tickets sitting right here at home. Honestly, that’s enough to cover my entire trip to the festival. ...The Horsemen ara drawing nearer on The leather steeds They Ride They have Come to taka Your Life on through The dead of Night with The four Horsemen Ride or choose Your Fat and die

I seriously don't know what else I can say about Metallica...
Honestly, this new track is killer. The vocals could use a little more polish, but that solo? Absolute perfection. Nothing better.

Every single Metallica album is a masterpiece in my book, and you honestly can't sit there and tell me the songs aren't great..
Here’s my personal list of the best tracks from every record:

-Kill 'Em All:
whiplash
motorbreath

-Ride The lightning:
Ride The lightning
for whom The bell tools
fade to Black

-Master of puppets:
orion
battery
master of puppets

-and justice for All:
and justice for All
dyers Eva

-Black:
enter sandman
nothing else matters
unforgiven
sad but true

-load:
2x4
ronnie
king nothing

-re load:
fuel
unforgven 2
memory remains

-st. anger:
st. anger
some kind of monster
frantic
(just saying)
I'm skipping Garage Inc because those are just covers....
And yeah, if I missed an album, don't come at me—I'm writing this straight from memory..

Oh, one more thing.. I saw this article in the local paper about Metallica. Quote me on this:

Metallica recording new album

Following the recent trend of recording retro-style albums, the guys in Metallica are jumping on board. They've shared some details about the new record, which is slated for a Spring 2008 release. The new album, which doesn't have a title yet, will be a return to their eighties roots and won't sound anything like the stuff we've been hearing over the last few years. Drummer Lars Ulrich confirmed that the new songs evoke that eighties vibe, promising "long, epic journeys through various musical landscapes—heavy, but also much more melodic." While the title is still under wraps, Lars mentioned they are currently playing around with a few working titles, such as "19," "10," "german soup," "glass cow," and "2black squirrel." The new material is being produced by the legendary Rick Rubin..

Metallica is recording a new album

Joining the massive trend of bands going back to their roots, the guys in Metallica just dropped some details about their upcoming record, slated for a Spring 2008 release. This untitled new album is set to be a total throwback to their eighties sound; it definitely won't sound like the stuff we've been hearing from them over the last few years. Drummer Lars Ulrich confirmed that the new tracks evoke that classic eighties vibe, promising "long, epic journeys through various musical landscapes—heavy, yet much more melodic." While they haven't settled on an official title yet, Lars mentioned they are playing around with a few working titles like "19," "10," "german soup," "glass cow," and "2black squirrel." To top it all off, the legendary Rick Rubin is stepping in to produce the new material...

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
