Metallica - The Day That Never Comes

illfated

Fine something better these days, at least we still have something to speak about.

Just saying...

I like it. There may be some needless wankery in there but it is loads (pun not intended) better than St. Anger.

Sounds like some kind of weird cross betwee the Load albums and Justice.

Happy with it on first listen.

I totally agree i sumed it up for someone that it was like load and Justice with a tiny hint of Ride the Lightning...basically an overview of their whole band history. Between this and cyanide and what ive heard on mission metallica the album sounds great. Def better than the crap on rock radio today.

All in all, it's sort of like a career retrospective, taking only the best parts from each era.

Great minds...

I still can't get over how amazingly shitty Lar's kit and drumming sounds.

it does sound a bit tinny. if you concentrate and listen to just that it really ruins it for you. but ive listened to this 3 or 4 times and just cant believe how bad ass the end is. they sound great. hopefully this tour is a beaut.

Easily one of the worst drumming I've ever heard in a song. Have you also seen his kit lately? no wonder it sounds like shit, it looks like shit.

That´s Metallica - welcome back!

I listened to it once last night and heard it on the radio today and unfortunately i was underwhelmed.

do the people who like it listen to metal?

It seems pretty watered down and tame. the thrashy part has some okay jams but mostly uninspired. The first part of the song is tough to get through.

I heard another song they did on you tube called cyanide. I liked it a little better then this one.

I listen to Pantera, Machine Head, American Head Charge, Biohazard, Slayer, Sepultura, some Marilyn Manson, some Cradle of Filth, System of a Down, NIN, Down.

I have tried Mastodon and cant get into them dont see what the fuss is have listened to Remission twice now and the guys voice just annoys me, what I dont get with them is they get lumped into the stoner and southern scene.

When it kicks in, the song really rocks, but I don't know if I would consider a "back to our roots" for the simple fact of Lar's drumming. AJFA era Lars would have had the double-bass click going note for note when the thrash part kicks in. To me, when I think of early Metallica what sticks out is the tight as hell drums, and anyone who's seen them lately live (like any 'Roo veterans, unite!) can attest that the little dude could still easily pull off the old school style. He was beating them drums so hard he looked on the verge of a stroke the whole time, even during Nothing Else Matters.

To sum up, I like the direction of song writing, but the drums really hurt it.

It was OK. unfortunately, not being St. Anger does not make something good. this singing in the beginning was a low light and lars sounds like he is in marching band, but the rest sounded good.

Exactly.

Since when is a rehash a good thing? Turn the fucking distortion up for christssake.

Their best album!! I thought I was the only one who loved Load!

The song is really good, way better than St. Anger crap.

james doesn't have the voice anymore, it's sort of sad.

Pearl Jam_ie

James sounds like he's straining to hit the high notes. It sounded ok to me, but the media player quality kind of sucked. It reminded me of a demo recording.

restlesssoul

i too loved load.

they played bleeding me in 98 here in van, couldnt believe it! love that song.

Porchsitter

I agree. Lars' drums sound fucking awful. The rest of the song is decent. I would say that upon first listen it's the best stuff they've done in a long time.
