Metallica's James Hetfield says the new album is based on Master of Puppets.

Translation: They discovered some songs Cliff wrote before he died that were hidden away and are planning to desecrate his name by using them.

As I said in a previous thread concerning Metallica's new album:
These guys have promised a return to the "hardcore" Metallica sound for the last few albums. I've taken the bait and have been SEVERELY let down; I'm not holding out hope for this album to be anything other than utter crap! I would be very happy to come into a thread and eat crow if I am mistaken.

Maybe stealing their music is what keeps them putting out crappy albums.

I really do hope this is true.

Metallica? OK. They were just getting nationally popular when I was in college. My kid, who wasn't going to be born yet for another five-ten years? Is going to college in the fall.

Two things:
1) Can we, you know, move on now?
2) All you guys who want them to sound like they did in 1985 again, can you please <shatner>get. a. life!</shatner>

Be careful, Lars will come to your house and hit you with a tennis racket.

Every album execpt St. Anger which as far as I can tell was based on a massive pile of steaming festering suck

Daaaamn,THAT comment made me wince!

I want it to be good, but it wont. I will dl it off of torrents fark them.

Fool me once, shame on you...

I would say that there is no chance that the new cd will be even as "good" as Load. How good can it be when they are touring during the time that they are supposed to be recording?

Rule #1. Have the songs written and arranged before you enter the studio.

Or have you learned nothing from St. Anger?

Personally, I thought this band was overrated even when I was in high school in the '80s. I always gave them a trifling of respect for at least having a more or less unique sound, but IMHO, that sound was (and remains) painful to endure.

Most of their songs sound like a two-stroke dirtbike engine on the verge of throwing a timing chain being ridden head-on into a flaming runaway freight train with a sexually-frustrated, coked-up baboon at the controls. And I don't mean that in a good way.

my overly positive view on St. Anger was that they just needed to get every last ounce of suck out of their systems before dumping Bob Rock, hooking up with Rick Rubin, and making a glorious return to epic win.

right?

anyone?

Why don't they sound exactly like they did 23 years ago? Why won't they get on Fark.com and realize they suck? Why am I SO ANGRY that some people still think they're awesome!!??

So they are going back to the studio in Denmark and it's going to sound like the album was recorded in a garage? Blame Bob Rock all you want for their last decade and a half of suck, but at least it sounded like professionally produced suck (except for Lars' drums on St. Anger).

I'm probably the only one who REALLY likes the JUSTICE album, but it needs to be remixed. Horrible high-clicking drums & non-existent bass.

.. also liked the 2 LOADs, which they coulda trimmed to make one good album (ditto for G'n'R ILLUSIONS 1 & 2)

Hetfield's just pulling our strings.

For a band that everyone says sucks so much, they sure do get a lot of attention.

Derwood: and making a glorious return to epic win

They're going to sit Dave Mustaine in a room with a Ouija board and not let him out until he and the ghost of Cliff Burton write them some decent songs?

All released records this year that will blow anything Selloutica can muster up...even with Rubin at the board.

I absolutely love Justice. Each song is so awesome and epic. It's the perfection of metal. Justice and Load are my favorite albums.

You are not alone. It would be good if there was the DCC 24K remaster like there was for RTL and MOP. That would make it awesomer.

I saw Death Angel in 1990 in Boise, and while the singer took a break the rest of the band played an acoustic set that ranks among the top three things I've seen a band do. It was truly amazing.

Don't forget, Lars is the whiniest biatch in the history of rock.

I suppose this means they'll be going back to stealing Metal Church riffs then.

You want old Metallica check these guys out. The only play songs from the first 4 albums

In other news; Slayer and Iron Maiden seen having fits of the hypergiggles.

Sounds like more recycled garbage. mission metallica

I have their older albums. Load is the last album I bought. Everything else after the black album sucks (to me). Oh, and fark Lars.

They're also digging up a few that were written by Mustaine, too.

rocinante721: I'm probably the only one who REALLY likes the JUSTICE album, but it needs to be remixed. Horrible high-clicking drums & non-existent bass.

No, I really, really like it, too. But, yes, it's in DIRE need of a remix. "Shortest Straw", "Blackened", "Dyer's Eve", are my faves.

If I remember rightly, the only place you can really hear the bass 'up front'(unless you're really good at picking apart a mix and listening for the various parts) is *I THINK* towards the beginning of "Frayed Ends of Sanity"

But, it's good --- for a while that midrangy no-bass sound was kind of 'in' -- a few bands around that time (or tapes anyway) woudln't even have bass .. just a drum and the guitar tone of this album with a bit more bass. it worked. it's ok.

The funniest phrase in the English language heard in 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1996, 2002, and 2007 inclusive:

The only problem with that is the simple fact of Megadeth sucking much more than Metallica could even dream of.

If you want to compare say "Count Down to Extinction" (megadeth) vs say the "Black Album" (metallica) I'm gonna have to disagree. But I'll be the first to admit the last Megadeth and Metallica albums were both horrificly bad. So bad I think they gave me cancer. Both bands need to hit the sauce again before they keep writing music.
