    what i heard so far, im impressed. even though LOAD got slated , I thought it was a decent album, I'd nearly prefer it to the black album. From what I heard of these new tracks, I'd put it over LOAD, so it may tempt me to make a purchase...

    Umm...don't really know what to say about that video, I like it compared to some of their previous efforts, but then the song itself sounds a lot like another version of One and watching that video didn't help shake that feeling.

    A lot of the material from the new album, the songs that I have heard, sound like they could have been recorded on either Ride the Lightning or ...And Justice For All and while thats a good thing per se it also means the band are fresh out of ideas and having tried the new approach with St Anger, and failed, they are simply going back to playing what the fans expect from them.

    In the short term, this is good, but in the long term this is bad because if the band members start to feel stale themselves about their musicial endevours they may soon feel the need for Metallica has well and truly expired and will want to jump ship before another album sinks the boat.

    I think this could be the last studio album from Metallica in a long time, and you may see another several years of touring, followed by a breakup before an eventual reunion.

    I felt this would happen. I realise that most Metallica fans didnt like St Anger, however, I knew that if Metallica returned to their pre Load era, fans would complain that they had no more ideas.

    Load was musically sound, and was the tightest Metallica ever were. It was simply that people were not ready for their bluesy sound.

    I have only heard My Apocolypse, TDTNC, and Cyanide. But i have to admit they are more than decent. I parrticularly like Cyanide.

    The Video will grow on me. With the exception of Memory Remians, all Metallica videos have taken time to grow on me

    Loud echos of 'One' me thinks, and what's wrong with that? This is a big step up from St. Anger and it'll put them back on the map.

    Studio version of Cyanide is ten times better than the live version and TDTNC is really growing on me

    EDIT: Just saw TDTNC video, I would only say its similar to One in that its got war in it, One was an epic and freaky video but TDTNC is kind of flat. I spent most of it waiting fot the other guy to get shot or blown up or something

    TDTNC is growing on me too, altho i do feel the final section of the song is a bit long.

    What a terrible video, doesnt go with the lyrics one bit either, its like they just chose war because it would be down with the kids or somthing. Still i do like the song, although the solo section does drag a bit.

    The video is good, even if it bears no relation to the song. Still, it's the song itself that matters and it's a great song, along with My Apocalypse. I downloaded Cyanide today and it sounds better than when they played it in Marlay Park but it's not as good as the other two tracks.

    The Coffin Box looks cool as well. It's a lot to pay but i'm going to pre-order it.

    I really like Cyanide the chorus is extremely catchy to my ears and im always singing it. My only problem with the song is the random MMMMMMMMMMMMM after the solo listen out for it and you ll laugh like i did or **** bricks one or the other!

    When I first heard Cyanide(audio), I thought "ugh". Then I heard it at Marlay Park and thought "double ugh". It just doesn't work. TDTNC sounds great though.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. It sounds like a mish-mash of riffs instead of just having one great riff to draw you in. And the main riff reminds me of 'The Thorn Within' from 'Load'. From the reviews i've read, they say this is the weakest song. Hopefully it turns out to be like that!

    I heard TDTNC on the radio yesterday, only the second time i've heard it since the low quality one on the internet.

    It actually sounded good, but the last 3 minutes absolutely destroy it.

    Seems mad doesnt it they ll probably have to bring the release date to next week to prevent making a huge loss on the amount of torrents this will get.

    slightly let down by the studio version of cyanide. it's not as quick as the live version, and suffers for that a little. still, if that's the supposed weakest track, then I can't wait for the album!

    The announcement was a 200 person show in the BBC studios in London the day before the O2 gig. And the album is in the wild.
