Ok i know this has been posted in another Metallica forum..but i think this song alone deserves it's own thread..definitly some Justice influences here..I like James' singing on here better then The Day That Never Comes..

There it is.. its a great song....What do you guys think about it?


EDIT: List the flaws and the strong points from the three songs alone..Yes I and you both know the cd is not out yet...so yeah list what you think could of been done better and what sounds good to YOU..

Oh my. IMHO this makes it 0 for 3 on songs from "Death Magnetic" that I have heard. Weak, weak, weak. Metallica is a ghost of a shadow of even its diluted "Re-load" era self. This really is closer to the stuff on St. Crapstorm than anything.

Uhm, I suppose you do not like thrash metal? This IS the justice album, this song is to me what dyers eve should've been!

I like the Day That Never Comes better then this one. It reminds me of the St. Anger songs to much. Especially the the vocals and the drums although not as much echo ( the echoing drums is what sucked the most on St. Anger IMO). Still none of the songs bring back the glory days (pre In Justice...), although I never expected them to recapture thier past.

I disagree with Qvist. Metallica's early thrash was tightly controlled, melodic, rhythmically challenging and menacing. This song is none of those. It smacks more of waterered down hardcore punk than thrash metal.

To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, I know thrash metal, I play thrash metal, this sir, is not thrash metal.

not bad, better than my expectations. I'm overly sensitized to drums I think, even listening to old stuff Lars sort of bugs me.

I could see it growing on me. I would not call it 80's thrash though, which is cool, they already did that. I will say that I hear the influence of their former selves.

agreed..Lars's drumming has been quite sketchy you can say recently..but i DEFINITLY hear some justice influences on this song..ive been watching alot of their " Fly On The Wall " videos and those were cool to listen to on www.missionmetallica.com ...

Anyone hear the timing off? I mean like missed parts and guitar plucking?

Metallica doesn't sound good raw in my opinion. Sounds like it was recorded in my basement.

They need that million dollar production sound to make the parts sound good.

I agree this song is a touch better than the other I have heard. But it's sound they are "trying" to hard. Like there is no feeling in the music and it's all robotic except for the off timing issues.

Rob's bass sound sound more DUB than metal/thrash. Sounds like a 15 or an 18 with a pillow in front of the mic.


Other than that. The first thing that came to mind when I heard this song was SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!!!!!!!
