I just got the new album and its pretty good I've only listened to it once. I think Dave Mustaine and the rest of the band still have got the fire in the band and 500 times more than MetallicA does like I reckon their new album is going to be a dud just a few recycled riffs from their early stuff mixed with some riffs they did for St Anger. The only problem I have with UA is that some of the tracks sound like they mainly recorded for TSHF album anyway still early times for me to make an opinion. What do you all think of the album?

it's ok. nothing more, nothing less. not worth all the hype it's getting, but not a bad album.

I like it a lot.

I think it's great. I'm really liking it due to its somewhat Youthanasia stylings.

I think it's a good release much better than anything Craptallica has put out in years.

NP: DGM - Different Shapes

I think its there best release since 1990's rust in peace . . .
i'm seriously giving it alot of playing . . . . washington's next must be their catchiest song in well over a decade

Got it yesterday, and I'm REALLY enjoying it.

I wanted to pick it up - ran out to Target today to do some shopping, but it was sold out.

wow, you'd think Target would have a well stocked selection of metal.

I love the new album. It's not a return to form, but it's still really good.

And I think the next Metallica album will be great if they just write naturally. They've apparently gone back to the way they wrote songs before St. Coffee Can. I know everyone likes to hate on Load/Reload, but I personally think those are killer albums. Maybe not appropriate releases under the "Metallica" name, but they're really good rock albums. And that was the band just being true to themselves. St. Anger was the opposite, at least musically.

Load and Reload were mediocre albums they basically had writers block and ripped off alot of riffs from other bands when they wrote the songs on the album. But there are also some hidden gems on those albums like I think the songs Outlaw Torn, King Nothing, Bleeding Me, Fixxxer and Devil's Dance are just as good as their old stuff. Also some of the demo versions of songs like Memory Remains and Low Man's Lyric sound better than the original

load and relaod are good albums but what were they doing being released by a band called metallica as well.

i am also going to be controversial and say i like st.anger as look as you look past the dire production (no excuse for it bob rock)

i am concerned that rick rubin will give their new album a too clean production like linkin parks new album (which sucks dont buy it) but apart from that i think it will be pretty good

How did this turn into a Metallica thread?

Thank Eyesore for that

I thought the new Megadeth was pretty awful. I wasn't expecting much, but somehow wound up disappointed.

don't hear anything that sounds like stolen riffs, except for maybe "Ronnie," which sounds like it could be an AC/DC riff. And I also don't think writer's block results in two albums worth of material.



If you listen to the song bad seed they completely rip off the Kyuss song Big Bikes and I mean completely not slightly. Also Outlaw Torn sounds familiar to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath but still remains my favourite Metallica song from those albums.

so far my favourite 07 release would be machine heads new album but united abominations is second so far

I finally got the new Deth over the holiday weekend. I've only listened to it all the way through one time but so far me likee what me hear!!

This is not a bad disc, but its not good either. They could have done a lot better on writing this!

I got this as soon as it came and lent to a friend before I could listen to it twice. The first thing that stood out to me was that even though the songs, for me, were ok/good at best (not saying I don't like it b/c I do) but the solos (for the most part) absolutely RIP!!
The last two songs really weren't grabbing me but I'm glad I heard them out b/c the solos are great (according to my memory!!)

The new album is reacting big time at Metal radio, glad to see the peeps here who still have faith in the band! For those of you who don't, I also respect yor opinions!-TJ
