Chris#2 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I thought it was a bit of a mashup of 'Hero of the Day', 'Unforgiven' and 'One'. A borderline average one at that. It's not bad, but once I got past the initial "OMG, it's a new Metallica track" it didn't exactly set my world on fire. Hopefully the album will have better tunes on it.

Dayeth Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Cyanide doesn't do much for me, but The Day That Never Comes DOES. I think its pretty good, although I love Load and Reload to bits. I think some of the lyrical lines are put in funny places at times, but it's given me a lot of promise for the album.I haven't bothered reading any of this thread because it's no doubt filled with the usual Metallica arguments that I'm sick and tired of, plus I resent the fact that Metallica get ripped to pieces for making the music THEY want to, when its relevant to THEM. Everything they put out is disseminated to death and everyone in the world has an opinion on it, yet they have the balls to try something new, despite having such a strong fanbase from their early albums, where as bands like Iron Maiden and Slayer can churn out the same uninspiring formulaic album after album for years and get away with it.

HateEvent Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 The solo harmony thing at the end sounds like someone that can't do two handed tapping trying it for the first time.I'd rather hear the new Element 106 material.I'll make sure it has a solo harmony at the end with some tapping for ya This is a weird track (The Day That Never Comes), there are some cool riffs on it. 4:06, I wish they expanded on this section more, it cried "Orion" at me for sure. Then the "Love is a 4 letter word" over it - Lame! I'll still buy the album and probably have it learnt in a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan G Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Doesn't it go into "stone cold crazy" at 6:27?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 the dynamic between the verse and the chorus reminds me a lot of fade to black.the tapping bit at the end with all the pausing is just annoying and sounds like a cheesy jam where everybody is smiling at each outher looking really pleased with themselves... i just watched the video and this is exactly what kirk and james are doing. shocker.

Diesel Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 The arpeggio at 0.56 onwards sounds like the bastard creation of Martha & the Muffins and Blue Oyster Cult.The song's OK 'til Hetfield's rank, toneless vocals kick in. That man should chuck it - he's a lousy singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom stick Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 saw them play the two new songs last night, certainly go down a treat live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_1903 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Okay.I am just back from leeds. First, the gig, second, the new single.Gig - Return to form. Saw them in 2003, very much better than then. They have stepped up a gear. Tight, lars very very good on drums, double kick in RTL was exellent. James' voice tip-top...perhaps almost at the same peak it was during s&m period. Setlist very pleasing.Single - very good live. Not too sure about the end..it may grow on me. The first half is very load - and for me that is absolutely fine. Load and reload are superb albums, and arguably some of their best songwriting features on them. Song is a mix of load and justice styles if you had to compare it to previous stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_1903 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 to the bloke who said hetfield if a lousy singerYou have to be kidding? His vocals have always been great, excpet for maybe kill em all. Infact, his best vocals are pobably on the loads and s&mBBC - Reading and Leeds Festivals 2008 - Metallicahighlights of their reading set. leeds wasn't filmed.

Dan G Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 New metallica song - My ApocolypseMetallica.comBetter than the first two new songs I reckon. Snare is too loud and there isn't enough drum fills. Still at least it isn't 7 jillion hours long like previous recent metallica efforts. Hetfield sounds good in places, but the mix isn't great at all. Some lame parts, but some decent enough parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Atom Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 anyone else notice they're tuned back up to standard E? Interesting, that's maybe why it all sounds a bit strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain America Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 This video is awful. It sounds like they stole part of the solo from One and I really dont like how James voice sounds in this track either.

Johno Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 ive listened to the 3 "new songs" from Death Magnetic, cant say any of them really impressed me unfortunatly , My Apocalypse was as good as it got and even then it had nothing on the songs from the early albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayeth Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 It's been leaked as a result of some record store in France selling copies early.And since I've had my limited edition digipak pre-ordered, I'm going to wait.HOWEVER, If I were to download it, I'd probably say that this album is a masterpiece, yes I am a total Metallica fan boy, but it is probably absolutely brilliant. It would probably feel like a collection of all Metallica's styles (something from EVERY album) blended into a modern metal album.I'm guessing that The Unforgiven III has the potential to be a new favourite Metallica song, whichever review I read about it being better than the previous two are probably right. Other favourites (on paper) look set to be All Nightmare Long and The End of the Line, because they're probably just an assault of awesome guitars and great vocals from James.By now, I'd have been able to listen to it three times through stopping to re-listen to Unforgiven III, III times. I'd imagine I'd have no real problems with the production and even though I liked St Anger I have a feeling Death Magnetic will make it look like a piece of shit.I'm probably so fucking happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
