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.

It doesn't sound like Slayer.

I'll be throwing all my Slayer discs in the trash before bed this evening. Thanks for outing me.

You can be a real prick sometimes Eyesore, changing things around

What? He's just a bad speller.

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?

Or maybe the band knowing how much everyone hated St. Anger made a smart business decision by trying to return to their old school roots, which they can no longer pull of convincingly?

It's hard to try and sound like you're shouting out from the gutter when you've been living in the penthouse for 20 years.

exactly. they're trying too hard, and it ain't working.

maybe they cant recapture the energy they had twenty years ago but it still should be better than st.anger

I don't care enough to argue about it; but i also hear obvious Slayer comparisons. Not that this is a bad thing, of course.

The most amazing thing to me about these supposedly 'finished' new Metallica songs is just how incredibly awful the drum sound is yet again. You'd think this would be the first thing they would get right after that St. Clanger debacle.

Also, for reasons that i can't even begin to imagine; Hetfield's voice sounds miles better on the official live releases than it does on these recordings. His voice sounds fantastic on their awesome Remember Tomorrow cover. Was that recorded at the same sessions?.

I'm completely underwhelmed thus far by the new stuff. I would even go as far as to say that i hate 'The Day That Never Comes'. It's completely generic, mid-tempo radio fodder. No better or worse than the AOR dirge that polluted the mid-album tracks of Load/ReLoad.

If My Apocalypse is any indication, I may not have to sell this off after buying it. If Load had anything similar to this I might never have turned away from Metallica. It is not classic Metallica (they could never achieve that again anyway) but it is something I could really get into. Now I may actually be looking forward to it's release.

hooray

What about this track? It sounds pretty cool to me.

Stop lying.

Anyway, I don't understand why everyone is saying they're trying too hard. St. Anger was a band trying too hard. I think they're simply writing the metal that they remember from their early days in a mindset that is simply near thirty years and mansions removed.

I'll have to hear the entire album, but to say they're trying too hard is silly, if you ask me. I think you guys are saying they're trying too hard simply because they didn't achieve recreating something that fits right between those first four albums.

I like what I have heard so far, it is good return to form, I don't believe they will be able to recapture what they did on " And Justice for All' but that is ok, that was 20 years ago and they have all changed and I am sure they are different people than they were than.
I am surprised to say, that I am looking forward to this release, it is nice to see Metallica going back to their roots without them trying to repeat their past.

Because they are?

No stoning. I hear when people get to be your age, the hearing is the first to go, so I understand.

My Apocalypse actually sounds really good. It could have been a track from Kill Em All.
