:rockon:
This music sounds a lot better than their last album (Due to production really) but it's really interesting to hear the arrangement of the song, quite different to what they have done in their last few albums, the new producer Rick Rubin has done wonders methinks!

I'be already pre-ordered the deluxe coffin shaped box set from www.missionmetallica.com!!! Can't wait!:headbang:

Slightly disappointed TBH.

Then again, for me they'll never beat Master Of Puppets.

'Cyanide' is pretty good though.

wow that sounds really nice - almost starts up like SOAD.
freshest stuff they have done in a while, back to the Fuel roots i see.

DAMN IT.

At work. Can't hear it.

What's the name of the song??

I quite liked the live version of "Cyanide" I heard a few days back too...

The new song is "The Day That Never Comes"

I hope that the sound quality of the song is intentionally lowered for this "pre-release" otherwise it's pretty poor.

Song is ok, needs listening to... One good thing about Metallica is that they don't give in to the fan-pressure to remain in '85. Although I personally like their albums from '83 to '91 the best. I never liked St. Anger - on the other hand I've hardly listened to it, but what I heard didn't make me want to listen to it.

I must check that out as soon as I get home.

I'm SO glad they've gone back to standard tuning in the studio. Sounds SO much better than E flat.

Pfffft.

I'm quite happy to live in '85.

Then again, i'd complain if they just re-hashed Justice & Puppets, so I guess they can't win.

I reckon it sounds friggin awesome.

It has a feel of old-school Metallica!!

Nothing wrong with St. Anger! Good album, but you need to watch "Some Kind Of Monster", that made the album for me.

Not really my cuppa tea.. intro is too slow, too mellow. I like the end of the track thou

And whats wrong with living in the 80's.. Justice is the best metallcia album ever.

And whats wrong with living in the 80's..

I hope you appreciate the irony of posting that on the internet after having heard a streaming of Metallica's new single ;)

Nothing wrong with 80s music. My point is just musicians needs to move forward if they want to remain interesting. You can always put the CD on repeat :yes:

I agree. And Justice for All and Master of Puppets were their best!

Never liked Metallica much before.. opinion hasn't changed..

It does get better as it goes along but never quite good enough.

That's the dilemma about popular music: (and yes, Metallica too is a popular band...)

"Aim low and keep the fans satisfied for ever."

or

"Aim high and fade away."

No other choices really...

Anyone noticed the digitised/manipulated vocals in the first minute of the song?

Has to be the weakest stunt yet pulled by these guys, Its a new low.

That aside, The songs all right, Gets better the further along it gets, I just can't respect a band cheating on the vocals. Not interested in fake.

Dude, don't be so quick to jump to conclusions about the digitising, remember you are hearing a streaming version of the song so the quality is shit anyway. After listening to a high quality MP3 since 11AM yesterday (About 50 times, give or take) I can safely say there aint no digitising in that song anywhere.

I bought the single on iTunes and it's distorted the whole way thru....sounds like bad encoding! So don't waste yer $1.79 just yet...have lodged a support enquiry so it might just be a fukkup that will be fixed soon.

I have read around the place that there are 2 versions on the net, apparently one low quality one released with bad encoding on purpose for some reason and one "proper" version - anyone know anything about that?

Funny that, I only noticed it after hearing a "higher quality" version of the song, its blatent.

You are literally the only person I know who hears it. I have tried really hard to hear it, I just can't. I've mentioned it to a few other people who also cannot hear it. You must obviously have a dodgy high quality version of the song.....I personally don't think James Hetfield would ever allow any kind of digitising to be done on a MetallicA song, if you knew the band you would know that.

Aye?

Extensive use of pro-tools was used on St Anger and Bob Rock has acknowleged the use of auto-tuning of vocals and instuments on both the load albums.

I'd guess you would know that if you knew the band.......:rolleyes:

The discussion on tuned vocals starts on the prior page I believe.

How about aiming to make the best music they can?

Fact is all bands peak, all bands go into decline, I have no doubt plenty of once great bands that produce crap music are doing the best they can....the rest are just desperate for the glory days.

Thanks for the link to the thread, just another thread bashing MetallicA, so nothing new there, you're a part of it right? If there ever has been auto tuning on any Metallica albums it certainly isn't evident when you listen to it, or at least if you listen to it and not try and look for things like that, you know, just appreciating the music? And not trying to disect it and rip it apart? Try it out, you might just enjoy the music......

Headbanger

23rd August 2008, 12:28

The thread has bashing, celebration, and disection of the music, Its called a discussion. The point of linking it was to merely show you people are discussing the manipulated vocals.

Yep, I rubished the song on that forum, I'm afraid I can't get over the vocal manipulation. However I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't celebrate it as the second coming of christ. No one is trying to change your opinion of the song. Thoiugh its funny you want to take an observation personally.

As for the auto-tuning, Perhaps it is undetactable to some people ears, I find once you hear it then it impossible to ignore, Though it has to be said it was done better/ far less obvious on their earlier albums.

As for enjoyment, I was pretty disapointed with the direction they took with the Black album,Haven't really been able to enjoy their output since then, Thgough the odd song isn't to bad. Crazy to think that was 17 years ago, :banana::banana::banana:

Music works best when we get passonite about it, To me music is far more then entertainment, Its power and emotion,strength, depth, hellfire ,life and death. All the trials of life can be soothed by a killer riff and screaming solo. As much as I don't like some music if it moves someone else to the core then its as quality as anything else ever made.

Took me years to come to grips with that fact, Though I was always aware that many people if not most people around me couldn't idenify with the music I souround myself with, My opinon has always been if it doesn't speak to you, Then its not for you, so fuck off and ruin some one elses day.

Lmao, Think I'll take my own advice,,,,,,,

It's certainly getting a lot of air-time on the radio these days.

It's good, it's not fantastic. Good on them for keeping on rocking is all I can say, they're in their late 40s I believe and they've had quite a few wild years too :yes:

I was at the Reading Festval on the weekend which Metallica headlined. :cool:
They played both the new songs which was the first time i had heard either, but was quite impressed.
Hope to hear to new album soon. :headbang:

so I've heard the entire album now ... way better than st. anger whew !!!

I'll definitely be buying it next Friday (12th).

I was a bit worried that unforgiven III would be another rehash, but it is a completely different song .. still soft and ballady ( a touch of S&M )

This was just your life is pretty fast .. very ride the lightening .. quite cool.

The double kicker in Broken, beat and scared will be hard as in Guitar Hero World tour :D as will the triplet muffled chords .. go kirk !!!!

The Judas Kiss has some wicked guitar work in it, and some excellent lyrics ( Bow down to me ... cannot resist the judas kiss )

The chorus of Cyanide still sounds "St. anger" ish .. but nothing else does I think.

Suicide & Redemption (The instrumental) has some droney bits, but is overall ok

My Apocalypse is EPIC !!!!!!!

I'm swinging between Judas kiss and My Apocalypse as a favourite so far :D

It will reside on my iPhone for a week or 6 me thinks :2thumbsup

My Apocalypse and All Nightmare Long are the ones for me.

Definitely a grower of an album I reckon.
