I saw a live video of Metallica on YouTube playing a song entitled "The New Song" and it was LONG! (Besides the fact that Rob Trujillo forgot to de-tune his friggin bass) And no, it sounds nothing like St.Anger. It sounded awesome (except the fact that James' singing wasn't really on par)

Both New Songs have been axed

I lost all faith in Metallica in the mid 90s and do not expect anything but disapointment coming our way.

I'm expecting St. Anger Part II.

yeah, I hate to say this but I'm predicting that the new album will suck major. IMO Metallica are done. Put the 80's Metallica high on a pedestal, we will never ever hear anything like that again from them. Cherish those 80's albums.

This album will sound nothing like St. Anger II. It'll be more like the Load and Reload albums with touches of their early stuff. St. Anger was therapy, plain and simple. An exorcism, if you will. It should have been recorded, but never released.

maybe could have released it as part of a boxset or as a bonus disc on the new album

apparently the new album has bery fast bits and slow bits according to kirk

i bet they'll postpone the album until 2009, and release a dvd on how they struggled with the band and couldn't make it.

apparently the recording is going very smoothly according to metallica.com but of course it has already been delayed once until 2008 when it was supposed to be released this year
