Topic: New Metallica Album Posted: January 29 2007 at 05:29 |

expecting a back-to-the-roots album would be at least naive... and to be honest i would be very disappointed if they were trying to release a Master Of Puppets II i would be very disappointed.. their classics belong to the past... Load was awesome!!! real 70's Sabbath/Zeppelin sound... Reload was what was left out of Load and is so mediocre.. St. Anger was lame but helped Hetfield "recover" so i accept its significant role... anyway, Metallica remain the best band and can't wait for their new album... |

I would prefer that Metallica re-discover their 80s' epic thrash metal
feel. Ride the Lightning was their masterpiece for me, along with
Master of Puppets.
I consider St Anger not too bad... |

"St Anger" i feel was a step in the wrong direction for Metallica, they are capable of so much more, Master, Justice and the Black album showed that - i wish they'd kept it like those, they're brilliant

i've heard the "new song" and it sounds like mixture of Load and St.Anger and i don't like it (though i like load and anger occasionally). I' have no big expectations, I think it's gonna suck in a way or another (but still think it is quite good still)
What I really hope is that they find themselves reborn. Master and justice - or some new sound, and maybe more progressive.. I really hope so but there's maybe 7% change fot that Edited by progressive - January 29 2007 at 05:00 |

Clever words!! Can't agree more!! For the St. Anger haters, maybe theur cause is that album may be too modern to be Metallica, but who cares? That disc has some damn good rocking moments despite it's not amongst my favorite albums of the band. |

I really enjoy Metallica, and although i prefer the first 4 albums i like both sides of them.
Even St. Anger, it's a great record, BUT it's just not good enough to be Metallica! if an other band released it everyone would have loved it! |

I would prefer it if Metallica was inspired by bands like Opeth and went down the road of a more intricate album in the vein of Justice and not so much a Master wannabe.
I have high hopes but I feel they may be misguided.

For me too. Cretainly, they're one of my favorites bands. And do you really think they can go Metalcore or stuff like that? I believe they don't even listen to the modern metal bands and maybe don't know what Black, Doom and Death Metal is. BUT it's true that St. Anger is maybe a bit more modern than the other albums, but I think it's because they wanted to create an unique sound, with unique production (which is realatively bad, IMO). |

Well, we all agree that their peak was Master Of Puppets but I actually loved The Black Album, and Load was also good , I didn't care if they played a softer style because the songs were fine. St Anger was really crappy, though. If they go back to the Balak Album style it will be fine for me. If they release an epic album in the vein of Master it would be even better. But please no more St. Anger-like stuff. |

It would be great if they released something akin to their 80's material. The trouble with that I think, is that they don't know what metal sounds like these days. Back when they were young, they listened to and were influenced by all sorts of underground bands, like Diamond Head, Budgie, Killing Joke. And some big ones of course, but they really listened to a lot of good stuff. The past few years, ever since the late 90's, I see them namedrop a lot of popular bands, from Korn to Trivium, and if that is where they get their influences from, how can they ever sound like they did back in the 80's? I'm not sure they've ever heard bands like Nevermore, Dark Tranquillity, Persuader, etc etc that is bringing metal forth. Instead they've been influenced by these seemingly metal bands like Trivium and all those other "metalcore" bands. I think the closest they've been to metal in recent years is their short tour with In Flames. And In Flames isn't exactly the purest metal out there. That said, I wouldn't mind if Metallica simply release a hard rock album, but it seems like metal is the only genre they were ever good at, and now they've been away from it so long that they can't find the way back. Case in point: St. Anger.
I'm sorry if I throw a lot of ideas out in this thread, but Metallica-related threads usually interest me. :) |

Why do you say Ulrich is an awful drummer? He's not THAT good, but he really did a great AND creative job, specially on the classic early albums. And about the rap thing, there's a lot of people who hate Metallica because of their last record, so, imagine if they release a song with Snoop Dog, most of people will not buy their albums any more! That's a really stupid thing, also considering they're still a Metal band. However, I still have faith they'll release something á la Puppets of Justice (or at least close to that style). |

I would die inside if they did that. Well, they already did the Ja Rule thing (without Hetfield, I might add), but that was just a one-off, not something they included on an album. But why even consider the possibility? It's so unlikely. I gotta give it to Metallica, they actually have standards to this day. They are one of very few majorly successful bands that has never released a best-of collection. Now that they should be proud of. And if Ulrich has never wanted to do that, what makes you think he would start to include rappers on their albums?

I hope so.... i insist: my fear is not because of Hetfield, it's because of Ulrich who is a money-hungry corporate-metaller that happened to learn how to play drums (awfully, by the way, yet with a unique style, let's give him that)... He LOVES fame and money, he's the business brain behind Metallica, so I don't know what to expect... maybe a duet: Metallica with Snoop Doggy Dog, Metal Up your Bitch or My Mo' My Thunder or something .....

Agree, also it happens the same with Nu Metal, but Metallica would NEVER go too far. |

I can soothe your fears. There is no way Metallica will ever release a hip-hop metal album, haha. This is simply because James Hetfield can't stand rap. Besides, if they were to release such an album, they would've done so many years ago, when it was still popular to do so. Rapmetal has been out of vogue for years now.

I think the black album was very good. Load and Reload were so-so.... St. anger was IT, the "worst album by a band that was decent" ever. Awful. Atrocious. Disgusting. repugnant. So I don't have any good expectations. Besides, Lars ulrich is all for the money, so he always follows trend; i wouldn't be surprised if the new album turns out to be hip-hop-metal or something like that.

I would fully agree! The only thing I didn't like on And Justice..was the production, but thats probably just a personal thing.

It's most likely not gonna' be a new Master or Justice though, still I have some expections to it. I hope It will be better than St. Anger, although I liked that one pretty much (sue me!). |

yes, they are good, but the typical trademark metallica sound was no more there. |

I don't agree. "And Justce For All..." is very good. The Black Album is good too although the music is simpler. |
