I know Metallica aren’t the MOST POPULAR band on this forum (well derr), however for those few who are interested, the new album has just been given a title ‘Death Magnetic’ and a release date of 9th September.
Was just curious if y’all had any opinions on this new title (I happen to think it’s…ok) and moreso if anyone here still held up hope that it may be a return to the glory days of the late '80s (of which I am still somewhat of a fan).
Are your fingers crossed or could you care less?
I almost agree.
Metallica: once proud now languishing.
Still, I may buy the album out of curiousity - I don’t believe it will be as bad as St Anger or that tripe they threw together for the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack.
People who have heard it say it is definitely a return to form of sorts.
I don’t like the title, but I’ll give it a listen.

i want a proper remixed version of AJFA (and the first three albums too, why not).
Metallica SUUUUUUUCK!!!
Any type of remix of Metallica would SUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! (unless Amon Tobin did it…i.e check Angel Of Theft which is Tobins Slayer Reign In Blood remix)
Back to topic…CRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!
Metallica’s aight. “Master of Puppets” is a damned good album. “AJFA”'s pretty nice, as well, and I actually prefer most of the “Load/Reload” material over the majority of their speed/thrash stuff. Didn’t care much for “St. Anger,” but then again, I’m probably not in the minority on that one.
I think I said this on another thread somewhere, but I’d much rather listen to “The Blackest Album 1-4” than actual Metallica anyday.
New title is cheesy. And not the good kind of cheesy.
I might give it a listen. Just for the hell of it.
Kill’em All was alright…haven’t bothered to listen to them for well over 15yrs now.
never gotten into them.
I was a huge fan before they became famous & up to the black cd. Don’t have much hope for the new cd but they’re trying to capture the puppets feel so we shall see.
The most boring thing about Metallica is people who talk about them and invariably site their “glory days” in the 80’s and speculate about their “return to form”. Just listen to the fucking old record if that’s all you want.

People who talk about Metallica have absolutely nothing to do with the reason Metallica is boring?[:/]
Rick Rubin’s got a good record of finding out what makes an artist tick and and releasing it.
We’ll see.
Alot of folk hate Rubin’s guts???
His production on Saul Williams album was great as far as i’m concerned though…well the Hippity Hoppity parts anyway. The beat on “Penny For A Thought” is a beast-zilla!
Metallica are pish and Rubin isn’t going to change that…unless…Rubin hires Melvins to do the album under the Metallica logo.
Hell, for all I know they pulled the plug on the whole thing.
Weren’t they going to at one point?
Perhaps they should have canned it six years ago when Hetfield went into rehab.

I was waiting for that. [:)]
Well, I’m mildly excited about this new release, if nobody else is.
There is a 30 second promo clip floating around on several sites which seemed promising. Had that ‘epic’ sound to it that has been missing all these years.
Bring it on…
i wonder when finally will hammett turn off that fucking wah wah shit… 
Used to love em. Now they suck. A Goodbye yah!
The 30 second promo clip isn’t too horrid.
It’s more or less what I want to hear from Metallica.
