Bunch of old irrelevant assholes, brought down Napster and general assholes when it comes to streaming their music. Dinosaurs who still believe people buy CD's.

They're too old to even realise streaming sites would be the only thing keeping their old irrelevant selves afloat in media. Their old albums are still among the best in rock history.   8)

The Napster thing was retarded though. People hated Lars already but that just solidified how much of a dumbass he is.

Agree - although I like a few songs on the Black Album

Listen to All Nightmare Long on Death Magnetic.   That's when they figured it out again - think they went back to Rick Rubin.  Song is epic.

New single is promising.

Typical metal/rock band.  Were awesome when they were on all sorts of drugs, they sober up and their music turns to shit.  So either they're all on heroin now or they hired a drugged up song writer to help them out.

I used to be a big Metallica fan a long time ago.  Their song writing simply isn't as good as it used to be.  Most people hear a tone and think...it's the old Metallica.  No, the old Metallica wrote better songs.
It's more than most can comprehend though.  After the black album...the writing went downhill.  Particularly when Newsted left the band.
Many think the black album wasn't great due to it being mainstream,etc...it was actually one of their better albums.  Master probably the best.

The first four are amongst the greatest heavy metal albums ever recorded. The self-titled is still heavy as hell, but moderated and paced in such a way that the masses could grasp its songcraft. It propelled the band into stardom and success never before seen with a metal act. Especially one from the more extreme end of the style (here, thrash).

Since then, Metallica has sucked and become irrelevant to the contemporary metal scene.

This attempt to recapture that "thing" is too little too late. It's been a quarter of a century.

The riffs are rote, Lars hasn't kept pace with drmming advancements (or even himself) and Kirk is the most underwhelming soloist of his peers from the original Cali thrash community. His bag of tricks is old. In short, he stinks.

Metal has moved on. And of the oldschool, most have never failed their audience in the way that Metallica has.

They squandered their career timeline with decades of bullshit and inferior material.

Too little. And too late.

I approve of most of this, but still think All Nightmare Long on Death Magnetic is epic, and will give this album a fair shot.

In the end I like most music and could give 2 fucks when people nitpick the shit out of it.

don't like, dont listen to it.

kinda like bieber, I am not a fan, but I am not going to deny some fan of his the happiness his music brings to them for whatever reason by whining and and trying to pinpoint the exact moment an artist decided that his hardcore fans alone were not going to provide them with enough income to live outside of bedbug infested motels and rooming house existences just to stay pure for a bunch of faggy music snobs who were never good enough themselves to play,produce, or sing for shit

that's all I am saying

Solid effort for the mid 80s but metal has moved on from this sound and if I'm honest as a die hard metal fan this is not innovative in the least bit and doesn't do much for me. In addition, his voice.. I cannot stand Hetfield's voice at any point past justice. It's just too pop.

I've done a lot of listening this year to metal in particular. I've heard it all genrewise in my time as a metal fan. I'm loving Adept's new album Sleepless, and the new Architects record as well.

Been a Metallica fan since 1988 (when I was 10). Since James went sober in 2001 he completely lost his set of balls. He has 0 REAL aggression left in him. He tries to "sing" and ends up sounding like he's auditioning for Americas Got Talent. While both Kirk and Lars lost their playing skills around 15 years ago, James imo has been the weak link of the band. He's way too happy and rich to sing the songs the way they were meant to be sung, with venom and real anger. They are a polished hard rock billion dollar corporation who have 0 musical integrity in their veins and completely sold out for the almighty dollar. The sheep will buy whatever they sell and they know it, hence why it takes them 8-9 years to release an album. They have been on autopilot since 2001 (when Jason left the sinking ship). Metallica died in 1993/1994 and were passable until 2000. It's just FAKE and FORCED music today and real METAL fans know that. It's mainstream watered down safe by the numbers generic pop/country/hard rock masqueraded for metal. They should have been stripped of the METAL in METALlica as soon as Load was released in 1996 (20 fucking years ago). Some even think when The Black Album was released 25 years ago. They DID sell out even way back then, but at least they were still a badass live band on that tour and they all still gave it 110% back then. Fuck that and fuck them and this is from a former die hard fan who has seen them live a dozen times.

Yup, it sounds like it's a leftover from Death Magnetic (Beyond Magnetic EP). It's forced metal/aggression, but the masses will eat it up as they do with  everything else Metallica tries to push.

Bought RTL as a new release. Was as big a Metallica fan in the '80s as they came. The self-titled, while a heavy heavy metal album, failed to my ears. Great "songs" and great production, but it and me didn't connect. I bought Load, listened through once, and I broke it in half and chucked it into the garbage can.

I agree with the poster a couple up. James now has zero metal fire in his being.

The fellas are playing a role. It's no longer real. It is forced. The new music is metal by guys who lost their metal hearts a long time ago.

My CD collection is nearing five thousand. I buy between five and 15 discs each week. Essentially all hard rock and metal.

For me, Metallica has been over for 25 years. This new record is, as I say, too little too late. And to make matters worse, its oldschool thrash peers are recording some of their finest work these past few years.

Over four albums they were untouchable.

Then it was over.

Take 2/3rds of Load, and 1/3rd of ReLoad... combine... and you would have had a great follow up to the Black album.

St. Anger has 3 three great songs that I still have on my lift mix, and Death Magnetic was hit and miss

Metallica sold out to the mainstream when they made their black album. I can't blame them for it since it gathered more fans and made the band more money than what they would have if they stayed with their trash metal sound...       "Master of Puppets" was the last original Metallica CD/album

This.  James' voice is gone.  Went six feet under when he went to rehab.

They are going to have to compose around it.  Plus, they bounce around from producer to producer.  It's a shame. 

Ironically, Dream Theater keeps banging out INSANELY GOOD and catchy metal riffs album after album.  Granted, they fuck it up with their excessive prog rock obsessions, but the point is, if you got it, you got it.

Sadly, it pains me deeply to say it, but Metallica has lost it.   :(  I suspect they are buying their material.

Metallica died for me when Cliff died

I did buy Ajfa but it was a bassless, cliffless record

My sister took me to meet them in 83 at the stone. I was 8 years old n came in wearing an allister fein shout at the devil shirt

They couldnt believe how young i was. They hated the crue.

James burst a vocal cord during the ajfa tour. His voice was never the same after that

You're either a delusional fanboy or woefully out of touch with the contemporary metal scene.

I like it.  You can't please everyone.  People always say that "old Metallica is best Metallica".  

If Metallica never changed their tone or style then people would rag on them because "all their records sound the same".

When making music it's better to play what makes you happy because people will find fault with whatever you do.

The world is short on creators and long on critics.

My first Metallica concert was Master of Puppets. Loved the mid 80's heavy metal concerts. Thrash pits, push and shove your way into the pit nd front stage. James poured his beer over my friend and myselfs head at the Justice tour in Seattle. I as well as my then girlfriend can be seen in the box set Live Shit and Purge videos at the September Seattle show. They where always good live.

metal magic is the underappreciated debut album from one of metals greatest - pantera.

i especially like the first track on the album 'ride my rocket':

ride my rocket
wear me out
ride my rocket
make me twist and shout
ride my rocket
give me all of your love
ride my rocket
I just can't get enough.

I have one whole room in my condo devoted to my collection.

I listen to CDs constantly. Prior to CDs, I bought vinyl. Only purchased cassettes for a couple of years before going full-on compact discs. Most of my discs I have spun at least five times. Hundreds of them, many, many times more. Most of my albums I purchase from Amazon private sellers and from HMV stores.

Hard rock and metal (and iron) are my lifeblood.

so do we agree that 5 metal albums is all that is needed and any more than that is just a waste of money.

which 5 albums you reckon is the only ones that is needed?

Ridiculous.

Hell, I own hundreds of records I'd consider mandatory for a passionate listener.

I have one whole room in my condo devoted to my collection.

I listen to CDs constantly. Prior to CDs, I bought vinyl. Only purchased cassettes for a couple of years before going full-on compact discs. Most of my discs I have spun at least five times. Hundreds of them, many, many times more. Most of my albums I purchase from Amazon private sellers and from HMV stores.

Hard rock and metal (and iron) are my lifeblood.

Been a metalhead since 1982. NEVER wavered. Never.

If James Hetfield never changed his singing style (thanks, Bob Rock), then I could tolerate the music post-Justice album.

Bob Rock ruined a lot with them.

Dear fuck ... Let me think for a bit.

(Of course, anything I come up with will be spur-of-the-moment, and thus, not accurate. I'd have to spend days whittling a list to arrive at anything resembling my true list.)

metallica playing it live:



the comments get it right:

"I still wonder how the fuck James can play this riff and sing together"
"Their new material is stellar, and their performance matched. Hetfield's voice sounds the best it has since the early 90's too. "
"Holy shit. This is the best Metallica has looked in so freakin long. Everybody seems into it. Into being the music. Man this is so good."
"I don't know when or why they decided to turn up the bass so you can actually hear it, but I must say I overwhelmingly approve. They haven't had this much bass live since Cliff died. They finally sound like they should have for the last 25 years or so"
"They sound like themselves again"
"sound very close to their early 90s albums, pretty damn good."
"Nice to hear Rob, finally! Nice bass line and nice backing vocals."

Really good song.  My favorite thing is to watch amateur musicians (guitarists) play covers of this tune on YouTube.  Great stuff!  Glad to hear Metallica is back in fighting shape!!!

Personally think Testament does a better job at being what Metallica was these days then Metallica does.

I always thought the same thing.

Granted, they had a couple very good albums.  Ride the Lightning and ...And Justice for All being my personal favorites.

However, back around the year 2000 they were described as my generation's Led Zeppelin.  That certainly went way too far in describing them.

Their first 4 albums where some of metal history's greatest and most epic ever. Number 5 The Black Album was not so much thrash but still super heavy and in my ears still amazing. After that it went downhill fast unfortunately. Is it a coincidence that James and the band sobering up marked this downfall? They did their best work in the period they were also known as "Alcoholica" so just like BB's artists do there best work influenced by drugs.

After The Black Album James said in the documentary about aforementiond album that AJFA was a wall of sound/guitars and it felt good at the time but they realised they needed some guidance this time around for their next album because they wanted to move on. So it was a decision made by the band, they just wanted to make different sounding music.

If they are looking to get back to their roots now and make thrash metal again why can they not get their sound back? Is it because they are sober now and 25 years older? Their new thrash music doesn't have the flow and beautiful transitions and melody of their old work.

Yes, I havent liked them since "And Justice for All", but this sounds more like the old Metallica...
First few right up until "Master" were amazing...

What's interesting is this first single sounds more like Justice/Black LOL.

Back in the day, I used to love seeing both Guns N Roses & Metallica in concert. I remember the feuds these bands would have, as well as a few others.

I am glad to see both bands back in the fold.

This is one of my favorite Metallica songs:



Wishing them success!

Pretty Megadeth-ish with a bit of too much "nu-metal" for me.
-"- good overall and way better than their st. anus flatulatorium.

p.s.: if it were an unknown band no one would care.
