So today is the day where Metallica's New Album waiting in the store's.

I bought it and i think i need more time to like it:) But what i can say after listen to it the first time i don't like the Style of the lyrics. This Staccato style in nearly all songs make me sick:) I think you know what i mean.

Examples: Luck. Runs. Out. or Show your Scars or They Scratch me, They Scrape me, They Cut an Rape me.

Why Hetfield write lyrics like that and not like Santarium or the early days.

But the rest is good at the moment:)

I mostly like it but I haven't had a chance to listen really hard yet.

I love that stuttering riff on Broken Beat & Scarred. I mean, I really, really love that riff.

While the song is OK, just the idea of there being Unforgiven III bugs me. Unforgiven I and II were bad enough.

There's a lot of good ideas in the album, I think. It seemed that they made up their mind to have long songs and for a couple songs could have been a lot better if they cut them down a bit (The Day that Never Comes comes to mind).

I expected to be blown away. I don't think I was so I'm a little disappointed. It's a lot better than Load, Reload, and St Anger though. There's some good stuff there though. It raises even more expectations for the next album.

Ehhhh....

It's ok.

Better than St Anger. But is that the bar that should be set for a band like Metallica? All over the web we read peoples comments on this album. And the common denominator seems to be "It doesnt suck" and "Better than St Anger". Those arent high marks.



Some bands have 1 good album in them.

Some have 10.

Metallica had 5.


In today's music scene Metallica aren't leading the charge. They're being passed by the likes of Lamb of God, Trivium, Shadows Fall and others. And there isn't anything wrong with that. Rarely does a band stay on its A game for more than 2 albums.


Don't settle for a mediocre album with a recognizeable brand name on it. Dig and discover a band you havent heard of yet and find your next Metallica.
