Death Magnetic

Metallica, my favorite metal band despite all the stupid things they've said and done in the last several years, will be releasing a new album this year. It's gonna be called Death Magnetic and the artwork will look like this:

Just now they've released the track listing for the album:

That Was Just Your Life
The End Of The Line
Broken, Beat & Scarred
The Day That Never Comes
All Nightmare Long
Cyanide
The Unforgiven III
The Judas Kiss
Suicide & Redemption
My Apocalypse

My first reaction? The Unforgiven III? WTF?!? Sure, the Unforgiven is a great song, and The Unforgiven II is at least passable. But now they have a third Unforgiven song. When will it end?

On a happier note, the band promises that the sound will be closer to their earlier, thrash-metal music. I sure hope so. My favorite album is Ride the Lightning, and I like the title track of that album and Kill 'Em All's Seek and Destroy. C'mon Metallica boys, make good on your promise. You owe me the money I wasted on Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger!

Or is this a Rorschach test??

LOL at very artistic interpretations of the cover...

Anyway... I think Load & ReLoad weren't that bad at all... They're just Metallica trying to come up with something new... I haven't heard of St. Anger songs except from Frantictic...

Thanks for the comment btw.

I'll surely drop by to hear more about Metallica.

Yeah, aint seen none like that either - my first thought was that it was a grave and has all these little magnetic shreds its pulling in... Thought Load & Reload were brilliant - songs like Bleeding Me & Fixxxer are incredible... Loved Kill 'em all, Ride, Justice, etc etc - but we've heard that - trun the page and try something new....

If I want to try something new, I'd listen to Blink 182 (which I don't). Anyway, I still think they'd do best to return to thrash.

I can't wait for my pre-ordered CD to arrive already. (I know it's been leaked in p2p.)

The fact that Metallica keeps adding "parts" to "The Unforgiven" should tell you something right there! They may as well just do an entire album with nothing but variations, varieties and 'parts' of Unforgiven songs.

They could call it "Never Forgiven" -- and there'd be 12 songs:

1. The Unforgiven IV
2. The Unforgiven V
3. The Unforgiven VI
4. The Unforgiven VII
5. The Unforgiven VIII
6. The Unforgiven IX
7. The Unforgiven X
8. The Unforgiven XI
9. The Unforgiven XII
10. The Unforgiven XIII
11. The Unforgiven XIV
12. The Unforgiven XV

Leave it alone already.

Then again, what I've heard on "Death Magnetic" is the best stuff since The Black Album, although it seems as though they're trying too hard sometimes.

3.5 out of 5 rating.
