You finally got something right.

there is another new song called My Apocalypse floating around

I like the new song (my apocolypse)- can't wait to hear the rest of the album! This will be a day 1 purchase for me - thankfully best buy is right up the street from my office.

The beginning of My Apocolypse is awesome. The rest of the song is pretty cool too. I don't know about this one. The last time I went right out and bought an album on the day it was released was St Anger and I was bitterly disappointed, to the point that I just about quit listening to metal in general and discovered folk music and haven't looked back. But now I might have to go out and buy this "Death Magnetic" thing.

Why not pay attention to the conversation you're trying to be a part of?

I really dig "My Apocalypse" !!

It actually reminds me of something off justice - Not lyrics-wise, but try to imagine this song prodiced the same way as justice..even Hetfield's voice has that growl in his voice - awesome

Though, I do hope this is not the final mix/production, because in the verses, the guitars sound burried

Sounds awesome.

I like "My Apocolypse" better than than "The Day that Never Comes". I'm still not sold on that tune, especially as the lead off single. I guess the logic is "It's a new Metallica song, so it will be a hit no matter what". But in this day and age, if you're trying to move actual cd's, I woulda picked something a little stronger to sell the album.

Can someone get me in touch with Rick Rubin so I can give him my 2 cents? I'm sure he's counting on the "message-board-fan-boys-opinions" regarding business plans.

You are correct. He is looking for fan's comments at his personal email address.

My Apocolypse is pretty gnarly so far

That songs sounds like they're trying to be the old metallica, but it ain't cutting it.

Ya idk My Apocolypse seems weird.. I dont know what else to say about it.

You "people" continue to put them through this Old School Metallica filter. Stop comparing. They're never going to get there. Maybe the band is just playing metal in a manner that's natural for them today?

Good Point Eyesore.Even if they released soemthing as good as Master of Puppets it still wouldnt live up to the original.Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

Listening to "My Apocalypse" for the first time right now. I like this one MUCH better than "Day That Never Comes."

Check it out here if you ain't heard it yo'self yet:

Agreed. "A Day That Never Comes"was still a decent song imo, but this new song kicks butt.

I'm just glad that there are some guitar solos in these new songs. I missed those with St. Anger. I'm very excited for this release, because I was so disappointed with St. Anger that the only place left to go is up with this release.

There are parts of this song that are pulled right out of Slayer's book. And the lyrics are much more like the early Metallica stuff (not like they were ever great lyricists).

Now you're getting a little fresh.

If you are going to stand by that statement, I need page numbers.

i like the song, but i hear no Slayer. i wish that i did.

Right at the 0:50 and 1:28 marks of that video above, if that doesn't sound like Slayer you guys don't know Slayer.
