New Metallica Album

[Coogee]

Well ive heard the first 7 songs from the new Metallica album....and without getting too excited considering there are 5 more songs to be released throughout the night but feck it im gonna say its their best album since the black album....all 12 songs have a music video and they are being released on their website today/tonight before the album comes out Friday....couple of serious thrashy songs and a few mid temp tunes ala the balck album/load...something to please all metallica fans and dare i say it win back a few old school metalheads who departed when they cut their hair....no doubt there will be a few death/black metal fans who tell us that it isnt even the best metal album released this month:wink:

you posted that meme the last time i mentioned Metallica:lol:

on a serious note have you listened to any of the new material...like em or not a new metallica album is the biggest event in the metal calendar and 35 years on they can release an album that most other bands out there can only dream of...

my only complaint about the album is that some of the songs are a bit long and loose their focus and 2 or 3 songs are poor but you get that in any album with 13 new tracks

TBH, I didn't listen and hopefully I won't be hearing it either.

I wouldn't have listened to them since I was a teenager and I'm not telling you how long that was. :lol:

Hmm, I watched that there for the sake of it.

I don't know a hell of a lot about black metal tbh but I do know this, their drummers are unreal M8.

And that song from Metalica is miles away from this.

there is a reason zyklon B are unheard of and probably still work full time in a call centre...their music is utter utter dross!!

i listened to about two minutes of that and can honestly say i would listen to bieber all day before that

While unheard of in the wider mainstream music scene, three members of that Zyklon B lineup are career musicians with legendary status in extreme music. One is an acknowledged musical genius, runs a studio and has been nominated for a Norwegian grammy.

The new Metallica is a decent listen, but too long and too many unnecessary filler tracks for my liking. There are a couple of cracking songs alright.
Theres just so much more interesting stuff to listen to.

Ulrich is an embarrassment at this stage. Very unimaginative drumming throughout.

Mayhem is the band parodied in the video. Shit band, but a fascinating story. Utter fucking basketcases.
