Ever since the band Metallica’s new direction in their sound since Load/Reload/St. Anger, people have been hating on the band ever since. Although Metallica gets a lot of haters and people bashing the band, I think the never ending negativity toward the band is getting extremely old.
I am predicting that once “Death Magnetic” is released September 12th, I think that album will finally give Metallica the respect they deserve.
I’ve heard the two new Metallica songs from the album “The Day That Never Comes” and “My Apocalypse”, and both songs are very well done. It sounds like Metallica again.
But I wouldn’t badily judge their new stuff until the whole album comes out. I think this could possibly be the band’s best album since the Black album. I just wish the haters would catch the band a break and just wait for the album to come out and then they can bash the band all they want. That’s the thing, you know, I don’t think people will bash the band anymore after the album is released because this will be the Metallica album that people have been dreaming of for a long time.
The band is releasing songs off the album early on their website because they want feedback from the public and so far the feedback of their new stuff have been really positive feedback. Definitely a big step from “St. Anger”.
Metallica will be big again like they were in the 80’s and early 90’s. “Master of Puppets” will always be the band’s best album ever made but if lucky enough “Death Magnetic” can be right behind it. The album “Death Magnetic” comes out in two weeks and I’ll be buying it for sure. I will review the album of course.

Everyone hates everything…why is it that Metallica never sold any albums before the black album if they were so great then? Why did Load and Re-Load sell so well, and still get played on the radio today? The negativity doesn’t come from the majority, but from the minority. Now that Metallica is popular, they suck. That’s their line of thinking. It’s wrong, but that’s the way they see it.
For me, I prefer the first three Metallica albums. I hate the black album almost as much as St. Anger. And for the two new songs that have been released, “My Apocalypse” is pretty awesome, but “The Day That Never Comes” sounds like “The Song That Never Ends” after about 2 minutes.

People always have ridiculously high standards for everyone else and so much understanding and excuses for their own actions. Plus, they find it hard to open up their minds to something new. I listened to The Day That Never Comes and it didn’t blow me away at first. I didn’t really know what to think about it. After a few more listens I got to love so much that I played it a whole day non-stop. Metallica is evolving, as it should, and maybe we should evolve with them.

Take James vocals off the new album and it would be great!

so, James vocals are awesome that’s for sure. I’ve listen to the whole CD and i cant stop listening to it! I’ve been a huge metallica fan for years, first band i ever got into and i still love them to this day!

Personally, I’m no fan of the group, but if you like ’em, that’s cool. Their music, to me, is drawing from a formula, which they fall back on again and again and again, but then, so do a lot of groups, so…whatever for that.
The big beef I have against them is mainly with their so-called “drummer”, Lars Ulrich. First of all, the guy has enough cash in his account, why did he need to sink Napster, almost simgle-handedly? If I had enough flow that I was able to install a below-ground swimming pool in the shape of my face, and then fill it with Moet et Chandon champagne (or something *good* if special friends were coming over that night), I’d let it go… I mean, it just makes him look like an anal-retentive tightwad.
The other thing about Ulrich(pig) is that I have it on reasonably reputable authority that this so-called “musician” has to rely on a small team of white lab coat-wearing sonic technicians to ProTool the fuck out of everything he does, so that it has a reliable, steady tempo. Some ‘Hall-of-Famer’ he’s turning out to be. Hall of Lame is more like it.
The last thing is this: if these guys are supposed to be so righteously un-square, why can’t any of them manage to look even a *tiny* bit outrageous, instead of like the “strict” manager down at the Home Depot? I mean, come on… “Oh, wow, man, your entire wardrobe is black… way cool, man.” And original, too. Rock and roll used to be where the oddballs could be found; social deviants, misfits, plain ol’ “weirdos”… society’s rejects were drawn to rock & roll as a way to avoid the “straight life.” That was, of course, before ‘rock musician’ became a viable career option.
But these guys, especially “Ulp–retch”, look like, I dunno, maybe the ‘Substitute Teacher’s Justice League’, the wettest bunch of not-so-super heroes ever devised?
Check out the photo up top (taken at the–Jesus wept!–RnR Hall of Fame); well, there goes *its’* credibility…): Hey, there’s Weird Al, in his brand-new getup straight from the ‘P. Diddy Uptown’ line of off-the-rack pinstripe suits (on sale now, exclusively, at Wal-mart); next to him is Chuck Mangione’s gothic doppelganger, except more violent (he’s seen calling someone out–again–right now!); then there’s Tom Waits’s younger brother, Darrill (pronounced ‘Dar-RILL’), chief grease monkey at the gay-friendly (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) “Cleanest Garage In San Fran Ltd.”, where work on your vehicle is incredibly slow because none of the mechanics can stand getting…you know… “all dirty and oily and stuff”; and then there’s Roger, the guy on the far left, who works underneath vehicles at Jiffy Lube, who ae proud to support the community by hiring “special” people like Roger. give off strong vibes that give me the impression that they’d be the first people to call the cops if a genuine “weirdo” showed up at one of their parties (if they even throw parties, that is… maybe a dinner party is more like it), or even set foot in their neighborhood, for that matter… What would the other members of the Strata say, after all? Wait, what am I saying…? Don’t all four of them have an anti-weirdo “Invisible Fence” encircling their respective suburban palaces? You bet they do. You KNOW they do.
But, live and let live, y’know? More power to ’em, ok? If they really are happy with their core audience (right out of ‘Heavy Metal Parking Lot’) of 14-year-old boys (Hey, Halford was cool with it!), let ’em fill their boots. Or, uhh… whatever it is they like to fill.
Except Ulrich: fuck him, and anyone who looks like him; my fuckin’ grand dad is cooler, and a LOT more fun to hang out with, I’m pretty sure.

People will pretty much have to accept that metallica don’t do music at order for the people, Why do they have to get so many haters just because of one album!?
I love all metallica albums, i loove ALL their songs (Except “Of wolf and man”)…
All i can say ,T.Cshaw, is like, I DON’T CARE, I DON’T CARE, I DON’T CARE, I DON’T CARE, i love metallica because of their music, i don’t care about wether they’re not good or good musicians, i like the music, so for me, they’re musicians…
I don’t care if Lars is a cooler or a funnier person to hang out with… He plays the music, and he plays it good.WE FANS DON’T CARE ABOUT THE REST!
