The Official Metallica - Death Magnetic Thread

Give me a break.

Some people will defend anything especially if it was put out my a big, otherwise popular band. This was put to the test on their last album, and it was proven true.

What's going to suck about this one is fan reaction. There are people here that say they've hated everything the band has done for 20 years now. But we're going to have to sift through their hate when this album drops. Why? Why even bother listening to it?

Funny thing is those people will still buy the album

Sure. There are those that will defend anything a band does. But there is also the exact opposite to those people. No problem there.

It makes those of us in the middle seem much cooler than we really are.

Good point - they'll steal it and complain that they watsed their bandwidth on it!

Agreed. Haters wanna hate. More than any other rock bands, I think Metallica and KISS are the two bands where no matter what, some supposed "fan" will claim that they suck. Metallica could create a new Master of Puppets and you'd see more people saying it blows than people praising it. Makes you wonder when and if these people were ever fans at all.

I also think you're right about this album NOT being another St. Anger. Metallica knows they screwed up on that one, they've even admitted so, which earns my respect. There's even a video of Lars on YouTube making fun of it.

Cant wait for this album

The name is horrible! The riff sounds ok but still bland. I want to hear it to judge for myself, but I have a feeling its still gonna suck!

I'll at least give an ear to it. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll give a try.

There is nothing wrong with the album title..it's..just not something Metallica would release - It sounds like something some random German Slayer-Thrash band would release (Kreator, Destruction, etc.) - Metallica have just always been more.."creative" than that.

I predict that musically, this album will be exactly like St. Anger was, with better production.

And I assume that you were dropped down stairs as a child

When has a band released another "Master of Puppets" so to speak, and the fans NOT accepted it?

I see plenty of evidence for what I said, but none for what Eyesore claims.

Look at the last Maiden release, A Matter Of Life And Death - some people (myself included) feel they did create another masterpiece! Haters say it sucked!

Yeah, it didn't even have half the energy and "rockingness" of their classics. The songs were way too long and it sounded like Adrian wrote the whole album. It didn't have any of Harris' style in there that I could hear. Bruce was singing pretty much the whole thing in one octave. It didn't sound like MAIDEN and even as a new band it didn't sound good.

Not even close to their "Master of Puppets".

Once again, if it didn't have IRON MAIDEN stamped on it no one would care about it. Same thing with STANGER.

If it's as bad as St. Anger, that's a valid complaint. I felt ripped off and I never bought St. Anger! Haha.

Apparently you don't visit forums with more people like yourself.

What?

Again ... no examples.

Probably because there aren't any.

Drink the "St. Anger" Kool-Aid and enjoy your "Death Magnetic" flavor too.

:p

ToB and RF seem to share the same, repetitive ignorance when it comes to Metallica... it's getting on my nerves

Sorry, some people on this Earth don't share all your opinions.

Like what you want and try not to be so sensitive.

Honestly, I went into these samples with a clear head, but they just didnt do much for me. Sounds like Justice a bit, better than anything they've done in years, but Im still not convinced.

Well, let's just wait for the whole album..it's hard to tell from the samples

buy it or don't, it sure as hell aint gonna hurt Metallica

Surely I'm not going to waste my time finding examples of something you'll just deny no matter what. Just like now that I've said this you'll take it as some sort of victory. The fact remains that there are countless examples of bands releasing killer albums that get slagged off simply because they've fallen out of favor with those so-called fans.
