y’know what the problem was here I believe? They didn’t have a producer to tell them what was good and what wasn’t. They hit paydirt with Bob Rock the first time round and stuck with him. He didn’t have the nuts to tell them Load was gonna be shit!
There’s a few good songs like Ain’t My Bitch, King Nothing, Cure and er… um… let’s see… Ronnie NO! er… Thorn Within…lumbering hard rock… Outlaw Torn…what the hell does that mean? Oh, i give up!

There ARE a few good songs on the Load and Reload albums (and “..And Justice For All” is overrated - lots of rambling pointless riffs with no purpose and no decent song to support them, plus a bad production to boot. Far closer related to St Anger than most fans would admit, though of course it does have a handful of gems on it.)
The problem with the new album is that, Rob Trujillo aside, it is being made by the same people who made the last one, and the one before that, and the one before that..etc etc. Do we really expect them to find a rich seam of inspiration that they haven’t hit since, oooh, 1986? The fact is, in my opinion, Metallica will never ever make a good thrash metal album again - they just don’t have it in them any more. I’d love them to do an album with songs like One and Battery and Damage Inc and so on, but with a contemporary production (i.e. one of those reverb-heavy vocals of the early albums) but it isn’t going to happen, is it?

And Mel C…Anyway.Theres been an interview with one of the studio assistants who is working on Metallica’s new album and he says there is loads of ” One - type stuff - gentle to heavy and then building to a climax ”
Sounds promising. Plus other celebs who have heard the album all think it’s amazing…

agreed. Metallica could very well come up with the goods music wise, although i doubt it, but at the end of the day Hetfields vocals are going to be terrible.

Hetfields voice has been improving dramatically. The acoustic shows in 2007 were great. If lars can learn to play in time again , i’m sure hetfield can learn to sing again.

bring back Cliff!
No, but really, if you’re a fan then its fair do’s i suppose, but i honestly can not see why folk bother with them. I know i keep banging on about it but the scale of time since they last made anything halfway decent, jeez…i gave up a looooong time ago. Theres far too much great music in the world to sit around waiting for that bunch of fucktards to get their act together!

St. Anger may well have been their ‘Be Here Now’. You won’t realise the effect it’s had on their sales until the following album. Having said that, metal and rock fans tend to be a bit more loyal than indie fans.

Hopefully better than Around the sun - which is actually not bad considering Pete Buck hates it and it wasnt received well.

I was wondering what REM had to do with Metallica but in a rather tenuous link, I found out Cliff Burton was a huge REM fan back in the mid 80’s when no-one knew who they were!

Okay then, Question: how much would you pay for a the next Metallica album?
They are not my favourite band in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but I most probably will by it, but I won’t be paying anywhere near full price. I’d probably pay about £5 maximum, unless on hearing the first single and liking it - then it would be up to possibly £6.
And the first Metallica album I bought was Kill Em All, what was yours?

if the next album i got hadnt have been puppets id probably have dedicated my life to sitting outside lars ulrichs house every night and throwing toilet paper all over it.
considering the albums since puppets have got progressively shitter, id say the going rate which id be prepared to pay for the new one would be…nothing
id just download a torrent of it and hope lars cries at the loss of 10 quid
