    Strange album title. But I guess it is Metallica.

  2. Lucas says:

    That little clip is just about useless, too, though it does sound like part of a good ol’ Metallica song.

  3. twistedriffster says:

    sounds and looks good.

    What? This is Metallica and this album will not disappoint! The name has a reason to it, I’m sure when the album comes out everyone will think differently about it in a positive way. This could impact our lives in a new way of music! Making us all fall down to our knees, because it just can’t get any better.

    Very unsual title. I like the clips I have heard so far. This could be a return to form for Metallica, and they’re long overdue.

    Title is neither here nor there for me.

    I am nervous about this album. I want it to be great but just don’t have confidence they can deliver anymore. I know, not a novel statement but an objective look at the band’s career can only come away with the assessment that their creative peak has long since past.

    Context: I think their first five albums are varying degrees of greatness (even the Black Album) and until they released Load they were far and away my favorite band. I’ve tried to like subsequent releases, but just can’t. I can dig a handful of tracks from Load, can’t even listen to Re-Load and St. Anger is pure garbage. Garage Inc is just filler (not bad but not new).

    So to think they can put an album out that can sit on the shelf with the five great ones and not pale by comparison just does not seem tangible to me.

    I pray I am wrong.

    Well i liked the clip. That little bit alone owns the fuck out 95% of St. Anger

    I personally feel it sounded like St Anger Metallica. It had the hollow echo-y sound to it that most of the songs on Anger did. I liked St Anger though, took a long time to grow on me though

    Am I the only one here who actually listens to their Load/Reload material more than their old stuff? I like all their stuff (except for St. Anger, not strong enough for me), don’t get me wrong.

  10. Shadowking says:

    I’m sure the next album ‘Death Magnetic’ will be the best ever! Nothing like we’ve seen from Metallica.

  11. Mikel says:

    you’re not alone pen

  12. Jay says:

    shadowking, you have heard ‘St. Anger’, right? (referring to your first comment)

  13. mattjames1708 says:

    nope your def. not alone pen…..i love all there 90s albums my friends argue with me about it all the time cause im not really into the older metallica but i thought there newer stuff was alot better….st. anger did suck though

  14. Shadowking says:

    Yeah, but St. Anger. Just by the name you can tell that it was crap. But, Death Magnetic! You can tell right off the bat that Metallica is not going in the same direction as St. Anger.

  15. salastna says:

    How can YOU tell?

  16. Shadowking says:

    Well, I can’t really tell. I just hope, I was kidding about everything I said

  17. ohgreat says:

    The whole recording process must be done a certain way. How would you interpret an album title like “Death Magnetic”?

    Strange. If anybody says it’s not going in the direction like St. Anger was, eyes are sore on the whole reading thing if you forgive me, that’s good. The title track hits the top of the rock charts while shit hits the fan in fanbase.

    It’s exciting to see an album title and month that the disc will land in stores unlike Amazon’s stupidity. More strangeness? That will be both for my eyes and ears to figure it out.
