Tallica bump
Cool. Soon I will be able to download the whole thing on Bit Torrent. F’ Lars.
Ah cool I have to do some serious debugging tonight will check this out.
I hope it is solid from the first song to the last, otherwise I might permanently give up on them. So far the releases have been pretty good, now to wait on the rest.
The music was too experiemntal and might be a hit with more work but it sounds like it needs some more work.
The band handled the loss of Dave Mustaine, Cliff Burton but the sound really changed after Jason Newsted left and was replaced by Robert Trujillo.
Hatebreed is becoming my replacement for Metallica.
I’m just glad they gave up that staccato drum BS that Lars put in St. Anger.
I bought that album and listened to it twice and haven’t heard it since. A horrendous effort. I can’t help but think that the therapist crap that they were doing then impacted that turd.
I hope Lars gets rid of that damn snare drum that he over used in st. anger.
Typical Metallica. Not as great as Master of Puppets. Not as bad as St. Anger.
Good opening riffs, but the track mixxing seemed off...drums and vocals very annoyingly mixed.
What a joyless pile of crap that was. But I suspect that is what they were going for.
Thanks for the heads up...
However, I must say that I am not too impressed with this go-around of Metallica. It sounds like they recorded it in someone’s living room (probably really did using Pro-Tools, something I purely hate as it has extreme latency and bizarre phasing induced by lack of processing power), mixed it with the snare mic loudest, and the fire is lacking.
Obviously, they are an incredible, legendary group, but something is amiss...Their music was never the type to lend itself to the band members growing older and wiser. It was visceral. Master of Puppets, Garage Days Re- and Re-Revisited, and Kill Em All stand as their premier masterpieces...
JMHO
Good. St. Anger sucked and blow'ed.
Speaking of metal... I was at the Masters of Metal show in Dallas a couple weeks ago... Testament, Motorhead, Heaven & Hell (R.J. Dio), and Judas Priest... Motorhead and Priest especially ROCKED!
I don’t care for All Nightmare Long (the single). But I will check out the rest. Thanks
Very Good!
Thanks.
1) Lars aweful snaredrum and the sterile production from St. Anger are there. No matter how heavier the songs are, it still sounds like it was recorded using a bunch of cheap gear in a Seattle grunge studio basement. Ok Metallica, its been close to 20 years you've been working with the same producer and the majority of it is forgettable. TRY A NEW PRODUCER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! Someone who isn't there going through the motions to collect a paycheck and do whatever you say James. Get Terry Date. Someone. Anyone, but Bob Rock!
2) Many of songs are giving me flashbacks of the band Overkill, especially the guitar playing and tone of Bobby Gustafson, one of the few musicians James respected and allowed into their dysfunctional inner circle. Its all over this album.
3) Challenge yourselves! Stop with the life coaches and counselors telling you what kind of music you should be making. This isn't Oprah or some lifetime channel movie.
4) The songs themselves are by far some of the best material they have put out in a long time, but the production ruins most of it.
5) Nice to hear that James unleashed Kirk to do some good solo and lead work again. It helped salvage this from being another St. Anger.
(6) Unforgiven III? Please, whoever needs to be forgiving for something they did to James, please work it out with him. No more ballads with piano and James singing like he's auditioning for american idol.
Just gave it a listen and it’s has to be the worst engineered album I’ve ever heard. The band should sue.
