Metallica: The day that never comes

[MChatterley]

Now showing on http://www.metallica.com

First impressions are quite good tbh

Got to say I like it.

It's old yet new at the same time. It has elements of One and Sanitarium. All in all good stuff. The new album sounds very promising.

Listened to Cyanide on loop for about 10 plays and thats got a killer riff. Looks like the boys have returned to being Men. Cant wait for the album.

sounds promising

Think it's great.

All I wanted was something that sounded like "Metallica" and whilst that's difficult to define after 27 years doing what they do, this just sounds right to my ears.

[MChatterley]

have to agree with Rio. They're back sounding like and doing what they're f**king awesome at.......melodic yet heavy riffs.

Day That Never Comes :First half thumbsdow Sounds like a load or Reload reject track for the first 5 minutes. The second half of the song is excellent. They have let Kirk loose again, it is vicious, dirty and awesome.

Could be a very interesting album. If they can get the mix of the 80's and 90's stuff together with a touch of St Anger it will be amazing.

Sounds like a rehash of everything they did before.
I know that many people are comfortable with a return to something they recognise, but to me they sound washed up and old. The spark has gone. As young angry guys the music was passionate and propulsive, this just seems old and dead.

Death Magnetic ! They should have just gone for necrophillia (an attraction to corpses).

Just in case you might have wondered, check my Avatar Im a long time fan.

I like the song, Kirk and Lars have improved loads. James voice is worse than ever though, really weak. Still though it's nothing compared to the first 4 albums and I highly doubt anything they ever write will compare with them.

WHOA! alsmost 8 mins longs! Sounding great!!!!

[MChatterley]

Gotta be honest, when I first heard the beginning of this track I thought LOAD & Re-LOAD......and Oh No not again!!! But its such a grower. Think I must have listened to it 20-30 times so far and it deffinately reminds me of Fade to Black. Just wish I was at Leeds tonight

It's not bad, I haven't heard any of the albums since Smell the Glove (which I though had too much filler) but the tracks I have heard since then I have not got particularly excited about. I think I must be too old now to get excited about them, they have dropped off my radar (but I still play RtL on a regular basis )

The intro (0:49) reminds me of Rain by The Cult and the twin guitar stuff in second half (5:20) reminds me of Iron Maiden

Reminds me of something brown and smelly. That twin guitar riff.....Wishbone Ash.

[tylerjosh]

yep quite clearly been listening to the cult, and revisting some of there earlier albums to remember why there Metallica, not the stuff from the last few albums.
cant wait for the new album

[nehalem]

Kind of like it too, but its almost like they wrote it with Guitar Hero/Rockband in mind!
