the new Metallica album

[pontius]

I know there is a handful of metallica fans here. every song on the new album can be listened to on youtube. most of the songs, imo, are actually quite strong. won't go so far as to say better than Justice For All, but it's definitely the best thing they've done since the black album. even "Unforgiven III" is good (though it doesn't sound anything like the first 2, and the whole idea of a "song trilogy" is still kind of dumb imo).

totally agree Pontius... the album is damn good!!! i love the snare bein back and hard power chords mixed with melody and twists and changes!!!
i am how ever dissapointed in the Unforgiven III... i cant believe they did II but now III...

... but it is a solid tune...

Haven't listened to the rest of the released tracks yet, probably won't. I've heard good things, and the tracks I have heard were more impressing than anything else they've done in the past 18 years. Wow... 18 years.
As for the song trilogy, I like the concept, but that's what it is, a concept. Should be part of a concept album, like Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd. Not years and years apart.
