Whats funny is I remember when Ride came out. They were bitchng then. Every single album has produced whiners, pissed off that they changed their sound. And I have heard it after every CD. Funny tho, not this one. The reaction from the listners is surprise. Its like Whiplash on Steriods.

I agree, St Anger completely blows, but the band has really put out some quality stuff. But the 'purist" want them to continue on the same path they were on with Kill em All. I guess those people are still on the same path they were on in 1984. Same hair, same jeans, same job. God knows growth and progress arent allowed.

Tee Hee

The new CD is ****ing amazing. Its heavy!

Well it's good to hear about the album,I am looking forward to it. Sorry you guys got caught though that sucks

2 of the songs are up on their website. IMO, Cyanide sucks, and the long one - the day that never comes(?) has a good musical ending (the last 4 minutes) but the beginning is pretty poor.

I'm gonna download the torrent and erase it, like 500 times...

But, they suck and have blown off their wide base of fans ever since they sold out? How could they be that high ranking???? that must be a typo.

Album sales does not equate to "good". Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys sold a shitload of albums as well.

Metallica used to be a thrash metal band. They morphed into a top forty boom-tap band. Good for their pocketbooks, but bad for their metal image. They're not metal, they're top forty poseurs. Some mulletards may think they're metal, but mulletards think AC/DC is metal too.

It's funny you bring up BAD RELIGION, they did the same thing Metallica did, signing with Warner Bros, then corrected their mistake and went back to Epitaph. Their latest New Maps of Hell ranks with their older works IMO.

I would have to agree with 90% of what you stated. The Black album was the begining of the end. When they took on Bob "pay for play" Rock as the producer I knew it was gonna be bad. This is the same guy that ruined Motley Crue. Then when they did the S&M thing I thought that was cool as hell. Not since Load have I purchased a CD but this one I think I will be there on the 12th to get it.

I have seen them 5 times since Arrowhead the summer of 88 and I have tickets to the show at Sprint center 20 yrs later for #6. I am going if for nothing else to have one night where maybe I can feel like I am 16 again.

Okay, I just heard the album. It's got some great monster riffs. I don't have a problem with vocals, but there isn't as strong of a vocal hook on these songs that we've seen in the past. But I'm okay without strong hooks, this album flat out rocks.

I think Judas Kiss is my favorite right now, awesome riffs, intresting drum work, Kirk uses the ultra-high chromatic tap thing on this song (he does this on about three songs on this album- so I'm thinking he really likes that lick, LOL!), and the vocals/lyrics are pretty solid.

Broken, Beat, and Scarred is probably the heaviest track- which I definitely like. My 2nd fav.

All Nightmare Long has a great bass intro from Rob. Definitely an improvement from Newstead. It's great creepy song...for some reason it reminds me of early Sabbath.

I was expecting to Hate Unforgiven 3, but it surprised me. It was pretty decent. Musically it was as related the original as part 2 was, and aside for "ForgiveN" lines it didn't really have to be a sequel. It stands on it's own as a totally new song, and I like that.

The 10 minute instrumental Suicide and Redemption is there for all you like the riffs, but don't want to hear James sing, LOL! Rob has some cool bass solos on that song. He's good, not inventive really, but a good metal player.

Besides the 3 you've already heard (which I like) I think the only others that you're likely to hear as singles is: Judas Kiss, Unforgiven 3 and maybe This Was Just Your Life. Metal stations might must put in the song Broken, Beat, and Scarred to show just how heavy this album is (though I think My Apocalypse already does that fairly well), but this album isn't about selling singles or making hits. It's all about kicking ass and taking names.

I can't wait to see this live! I'm definitely going to buy this album Metallica is back...

The Unforgiven III? Wow.

[Demonpenz]

unforgiven 3 is a dale earnhardt tribute

[Reaper16]

Well, I've begun the download. (Which was difficult, because I can't use torrents when on-campus here at NW). I can't wait to love it hate it be disappointed.
