Their new CD comes out Sept. 12th! I'm psyched for it. I know a lot of people that used to like Metallica but now they don't due to St. Anger but I've remained a fan for over 10 years now. I've heard some songs off their new CD and I gotta say (to me, anyway) it sounds like a bit of a mix between "Ride The Lightning" (with shredding guitar riffs and ear peircing, brain melting solos) and "Load" (with a bit of harmony and maturity to the lyrics). All in all I do believe it will be a very well spent $20 on my part.

The only thing that could make this CD any better is if Hetfield could go back to the shrieking days of "Kill Em All" and "Ride The Lightning". I think that would fall in a little better with the instrumentals and lyrics.

What? No Metallica fans in here?

i am more into old 80s metallica, but their new stuff already sounds a whole lot better than that pitiful last album St Anger

Not a big fan of Metallica, but I like them. Gotta agree with older Metallica though. Maybe cuz I grew up in '80's metal. I prefer Judas Priest- in fact I have them on now. As far as I'm concerned, Rob Halford has the best scream for that music. Great that Metallica has a new one coming, might have to check that out !!!

Death Magnetic definitely kicks some ass!!!!!!!!!

See I'M headbanging baby

Awesome to know...I'm picking this up for my teenage classic rock lovin' son tomorrow...and maybe tickets for an October concert -
Woo-hoo! Mom points for sure!

ah the cd is soo freakin amazing! i love it!

i still like mettalica, iv been a big fan for years, i hope its better than st. anger, that was a bit bad....really bad.lol, and yeah i dont think james can hit those highs any more. he burned out his vocal chords awhile ago singing the "so what" song on toure. but hopefully the vocals are better.

I like metallica, but only have the 5 essentials. Ride the Lightning, Kill them All, Justice for All, Master of Puppets, Black Album. After that their style kind of changed. My friend mentioned it was more old school so I might get this one.

Yup, went out and got their new cd. I love it. Especially The Unforgiven III. But I haven't found a single song on that cd that I don't like. Not to mention the music store f*cked up and I only had to pay $7 instead of the actual price of $15. Not sure how it happened, they scanned the barcode, it popped up as $7, they didn't notice, so I didn't point it out.

METALLICA ROCK!!!!!!!

My Apocalypse has to be the best song on there. I also think that this was the closest to old metallica they have been in a long time.

Is it bad to say I'm already tired of the new Metallica single? There are 3 rock stations here and they play the song once every hour. And since the song is 7 minutes long the stations usually over lap each other with the same song! ahhhh

And they won't even play the new Queen song or the new ACDC song

i'm gonna download the whole CD just to piss Metallica off and give them something else to whine about....

I haven't liked Metallica since the 80's ("...Justice" was their last great album, in my opinion), but what you've said has intruiged me, maybe I'll check it out.

Cheers!
