Just thought I'd create a thread so we can clearly see everyone's reaction to Metallica's new album!
Please give a reason for your answer, - let's keep this thread intelligent.
When I first heard Cyanide and The Day That Never Comes, I thought something along the lines of "wtf". Then I bought the album and listened to the entire thing in the car on my way to work.
IMO this album is good in its entirety, I enjoyed listening to the entire album, it would seem that the songs sound better in the context of the entire album, rather than by themselves.
In future (if they make another album) I would like to see some more aggressive vocal work from James, an updated knowledge of drum techniques and solos from Lars, perhaps a solo from Rob and a few solos that have actual FEELING from Kirk.
As I said, in its entirety this album makes for a good listen, so I give it the thumbs up.
I think that if Metallica create another album, it will be better. I see this album as a milestone towards their old metal-selves.

Looking at the album in isolation .. I think its mediocre. Looking at it in the context of Metallica I think its disappointing

It's not a bad album at all i think. It is certainly an improvement over the last 15 years of music they have come out with. Some song I felt were amongst Metallica's best work while others were very mediocre attempts. Overall I found the lyrics very disappointing but the music in all i found quite enjoyable. In comparison to Metallica's early works say MOP, some songs measure up very nicely in comparison, That was just your life, cyanide, all nightmare long, broken beat & scarred i think are songs that can hold their own against the early works of Metallica.

I still haven't listened to it yet, but they have been playing the shit out of one of the songs on the radio around here, I'm getting a bit tired of it already.

Death Magnetic album is better and better which each other listening. I heared it about 100 times and still love it. I rank it among the classic albums of Metallica before "Load, Reload and other bad albums)

Written by Brave on 06.04.2009 at 06:05 Make up your own mind, I like a few songs from the album, but its not brilliant nor is it bad by any means. I'm just not sure what I really think of the album yet. I going to sit on the fence I think as too my judgement as a whole of the album as their are also some fairly average songs.

It's one thing to love metallica's post-80's albums. it's another to overzealously refuse to admit any flaw in their post "...And Justice" work and to take anyone else's criticism of such as a personal attack. if you can accept there are people who irrationally hate metallica altogether (it's doubleplus hilarious when the metallihater is a megadeth fan), there are people who deify them and refuse to admit any imperfections in their music, and then somewhere in the middle a bunch of people who are capable of simultaneously liking and criticizing a band, you will be fine. if you take one of the two extremes, however, there will undoubtedly be people who (rightfully) call you out.

Written by BitterCOld on 08.04.2009 at 08:01 For me, my favorite album from Metallica is Load. I have all of their 80's material on vinyl, including the two EPs and still don't enjoy them that much.

I didn't like it at first. The day that never comes used to be the song that woke me up ( at 5:30), which was a mistake, hearing it was pretty annoying and I just wanted to throw the cellphone against the wall (I didn't  )Other songs...hm ... are not so bad, I know I'd like them if I listened to it over and over again guess I have nothing to relate to while listening to it...

Can't say I really liked the album. Over the last few years, I've grown a STRONG distaste for James's vocals. I have no idea why, because it never used to bother me... Nothing else really did it for me on the album, either.

Written by Fat & Sassy! on 21.05.2009 at 22:23 Although over the years james has improved immensely as a vocalist they have started to annoy me more and more.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 21.05.2009 at 22:35 To be completely honest, I don't think it's all their fault to why I think that they have a REALLY irritating stale sound... I think, being a very influential band as they are, a lot of metal bands sound just like Metallica. So it's like I'm listening to them when I'm really not. It's weird though, because I could say the same thing about Maiden... but they haven't started to annoy me... yet.

Written by Fat & Sassy! on 21.05.2009 at 22:57 They already started to annoy me immensely with Somewhere IN Time, then redeemed themselves a bit with 7th Son, but then really pisssed me off with all their subsequent album.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 21.05.2009 at 23:20 Well, the age difference really comes into play here. I wasn't even BORN when that album was released... And actually, I like that album. It was one of the last albums I heard by them... That was like 7 years ago though. Naturally, I have only experienced the Maiden time line from Brave New World to now.

It's an alright album compared to stuff like Load, Reload or Saint Anger and it's probably the one that sounds slightly like the good old days. But in the end, it's a far cry from anything prior to the Black Album. I think they're trying their best to produce something of the standard they used to but I honestly think they are past it. Although, I do appreciate a few songs, or riffs, on the album, I can't see myself buying it. What's the point if it's gonna stay in a pile collecting dust with Saint Anger. If I want to listen to Metallica, I'm guaranteed to go for Ride or Master in any case.

I like it enough that i would buy it if i saw it on sale/used - the production is horrid enough that i won't plunk down $15 on it.

This album....is absolute shit. It lacks everything a good metal album needs. When I first heard that they were going to release a new album I said to myself "It couldn't get worse than St. Anger" but I was wrong. This is by far the worst Metallica album in the the history of Metallica. The should just give up and quit. they have nothing good left in them. And they are by far the most over rated band in the world. I absolutly truely, am revolted by this album and anyone who calls it metal. For it is not.
