NEWSTED - New Jason Newsted Band Project

I have been enjoying the iTunes download I bought, the say it was released.

I don't really feel the need to own a physical copy of it.

That fact that it's autographed by Jason was the selling point for me to put out the money for the physical copy. I've been a fan since I first heard "Doomsday for the Deceiver" back in '85 - '86 or so.

The autograph is a nice bonus. I wonder how many CDs it is that were pressed...gotta be a lot of signing.

Good question. They didn't say, nor did they say it was a limited edition.

Of all the people to not send a CD to....the owner of one of the biggest review sites on the internet. Good job, Jasonic.

Another awesome track.....

Hell yeah!

Can I assume this new track (very cool, BTW) is on the forthcoming full-album and not on the previously released ep?

You assumed correct

This headline on a Blabbermouth story today struck me funny:

"NEWSTED Says 'St. Anger' And 'Death Magnetic' Are Not METALLICA's Best-Sounding Records"

In other shocking news: the sun is hot, and water is wet.

I needed that laugh first thing this morning; thank you.

Picked this up and am enjoying it. It's in the Evile and 4arm sound of thrash to my ears.

I had some good luck and won a free VIP ticket for Gigantour, got to meet them all after seeing them live!

About to order the album off amazon!

More listens reveal more textures. While there's lots of groove he taps into a Geezer line a few times adding an almost doomy feel on a couple songs. Vocally I almost want to say has kind of Lemmy lite vibe on a couple tunes. Anyways, this is quality.

Been listening to it, it's pretty damn awesome and is a great sounding record.

Awesome and great sounding?

I'm sure SD will be along soon enough to tell us otherwise.  

So after casually streaming the album here and there, I decided to make the purchase and give it a real, solid, dedicated spin. It's killer. Jason's voice has a f*cking mad bite to it. It's a great mix of NWOBHM, doom, some mildly thrashy bits, and traditional heavy metal. Of course, the whole thing has a Motorhead vibe to it. Here's my favorite song so far:

It's been getting a ton of play from me.

I'm surprised it's not getting much discussion here.

Unless it did two weeks ago and I forgot...

I've been listening to it in my car for about a week. It's currently my second favorite album of this year!

Not sure why I haven't picked this one up yet. I've liked what I've heard, but for some reason, I feel no immediate rush to get a copy.

It reminds me of a mix of Motorhead and Black Label Society. I've only listened once all the way through but like what I've heard.

What blows me away is Jason's voice. Intense.

My only complaint is the lyrics are kind of dumb, especially when he rhymes heart and start--my number one pet peeve. But hell, it's metal, so complaining about the lyrics is pointless.

Nah, I have zero interest in Newsted so you're safe this time.
