interesting that I didn't even notice the lack of a solo.
a much better hook would be "St. Anger gets no respect, except when he comes back again"

Ok I have also just heard this new single...and well...hmmm how can i put it nicely...LOL...fuck it, im using Echo's line..."its kinda just not good" =)
The guitars are recorded differently and I am at odds with the question of if LARS can still drum that fast, or was helped by some BOB ROCK magic?...anyways, I dont know what to think yet, I will wanna hear the whole album b 4 i rant too much...

The new song sounds like they tried to make a heavy song just... well for the reason of making it heavy.
Maybe they heard everyone bitching about how they got soft, I know Pantera made fun of them plenty. Also whats with that yelling during the chorus, it sounds ridiculous, and that weird high pitched clang following the snare is so out of place, unless they're going for the Slipknot sound.
I hope the album is better. Fingers crossed.

Most of metallica's new material falls into the heavy-metal-schlock category. What was thet whole uber-pretentious session with playing with the London Symphonic all about? What were they trying to prove? Forget the fact that they dissed napster, I agree with Funk on that, bit I get the feeling that they are just too full of themselves and their music is too contrived and angtsy to make any sense to me. Then again, just, ME. So I am not waiting for their new stuff. No siree, not me.

the drums sound amazing. the production on them is just VERY VERY crisp and resonant. other htan that, i think its garbage.
i will agree, however, that it is much better than load and reload.

yup, the drums sound great on that track! It's cool to hear them doing double kick drum stuff again. not the half assed plodding drumming that filled up most of load and reload.
I like the track except for the vocals. the melody lines suck, the lyrics suck, and that "Push It Out" crap sucks too. I blame Bob Rock for that. From the black album on, Rock seems to have made James sing like he's doing a comedy impression of himself.

Personally, I was just surprised that ol' Lars could still do those fast 32nds on the bass drums.

I'm not buying this. The purchasing queue in front of it is too long, and the new song is flaccid.
I'll happily download it for completist purposes though!

That Pitchfork review is one of the most pretentious I've ever read. No doubt it's accurate, but please, leave the wankery to the times Literary Supplement.

Been listening to it on and off, haven't really studied it fully yet. It's by no means a 0.8 but it's not a killer either - the first two tracks are perhaps the weakest, and the production is very strange (Sine pointed out the Justice comparison and while it doesn't sound like that album it does have a weird drum sound).
Seems the entire album is in dropped d, which is a shame as it immediately distances them from their classic album sound. Indeed some comparisons I made were Slipknot, Mudvayne and Kyuss - but all falling short of those artists (of which only the last I really like).
Not too keen on James' frayed "madness" screaming - sounds weak - and the lack of guitar solos is another worrying nod to nu-metal, which they seem to be trying to incorporate (albiet in textures rather than songwriting).
'Shoot Me Again' is probably the one I like best, but I can't see this album ever getting more than a 6/10 for me, maybe 7 at a push. It could end up with a 2 with the benefit of hindsight I suppose.

I totally agree, I skipped the pseudo literate bullshit and skipped ahead to where I saw words like ''guitar'' and ''Hetfield'', sentences that actually TOLD ME ABOUT THE FUCKING ALBUM.
Of course I've heard it already anyway, and it's not the travesty that some say, but it IS the worst Metallica album yet.
I actually liked Load and Reload a lot.
