It can't be any worse than St Anger

It's better than quiet a few of their cds.

Justice included in my opinion.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 03-09-2008 6:44pm

well the, now we know exactly how much to trust your opinion.

slayerking · 03-09-2008 6:50pm

FYI for anyone who pre ordered the coffin...

I emailed the trinity street direct guys (guys in charge of the irish pre ordered missionmetallica stuff) asking them about the t shirt size and when the coffin will be dispatched.

They replied sayin that the t shirt only comes in large :mad:
and that they start shipping the coffin a couple of days BEFORE release date.:)

So hopefully we'll get the coffin by release date.:pac:

You can trust it as much, or as little, as you like, its just an opinion, and matters little in the end. I've always disliked And Justice For All, barring One. Just didn't hold my intrest, I've pretty much liked every other Metallica cd to one extent or another, except St Anger, which I believe could have been a good cd, if it was well produced, and they bought a decent set of drums....

Justice could also have been produced much better.

Zombienosh · 03-09-2008 7:31pm

each song seems to remind me of a different metallica stage, the day that never comes reminds me of the "load" period for most of it. then it mashes up with old school sounding metallica...

im glad its good because after writing for years if they couldnt come up with anything good......:P

Does anybody know whether the likes of Borderline Records or the Sound Celler in Dublin will be selling the Coffin Setup when the album is released or will I have to order it online ?

i'd imagine there's a good number ear-marked for retail sales when it comes out. probably wanna be quick though as it's sold out in a number of online retailers already.

I'm prob gonna give away the name of the song, so please dont shoot me. But about the song...I love it, totally seperate entity...easily the best from what I've heard so far.

CyberWaste · 03-09-2008 9:45pm

End of the Line and Judas Kiss are quality, im defiantly going to buy this album.:cool:

RCNPhotos · 03-09-2008 9:49pm

Really liking what I'm hearing at the moment. All Nightmare Long, really nice guitars.

Suicide and Redemption is great too.

First riff from this is is totally brilliant.

Overall I do like the album, debating whether to purchase now or not.

Deliverance XXV · 03-09-2008 10:27pm

Unforgiven III

is absolutely brilliant. The solo left me breathless.

MagicMarker · 03-09-2008 10:52pm

Why are you putting in spoiler tags?

Death Magnetic

is brilliant!

Stev_o · 03-09-2008 11:01pm

I listened to Unforgiven 3 on youtube (Im like a drug addict needing his fix here! Its damn hard not to download it) and man its awesome id even put my neck out there and say that its one of their best songs they'v ever done (Ballad at least)

MagicMarker · 03-09-2008 11:08pm

I'm actually looking forward to going home just so i can listen to this again on my walk.

Het-Field · 04-09-2008 12:29am

Just listened to it for about the 50th time

The Unforgiven 3

that is.

It kicks so much ass. Especially that middle part which reminds me of

My Friend of Misery

from

Black album

from

1991

.

As Dougal Maguire once said "its a bit sad".

I think its a great song

Death Magnetic

is so much better than

St Anger

Patricide · 04-09-2008 12:32am

Can we stop with the spoiler tags PLEASE haha.

Darkstrike · 04-09-2008 12:41am

I

enjoyed this cd

a

lot.

MagicMarker · 04-09-2008 3:22am

Just so yiz know, Metallica shall be performing live on the Jools Holland show, 16th September... One to watch methinks.

Neo# · 04-09-2008 10:52am

I am very impressed with it so far. Its a beast! And im not even that big into Metallica

Mental Mickey · 04-09-2008 10:59am

I was up in Zavvi in Liffey Valley last night to check when they are due to get the album in stock - I thought it wouldn't be out until the Monday - and I had a quick look at the computer screen while I was there!!

You should see the amount of special editions that are available for this album!!:eek:

I think the coffin box costs in the region of €170!!!!!!!!?????

The cd will do me fine, thank you very much.

IamMetaldave · 04-09-2008 11:06am

This is from MetClub regarding the Coffin box, I got it mailed to me.

The Death Magnetic Coffin Box will NOT ship the week of the release and could be several weeks later, we are sorry for the delay. However, there will be a free digital download of the album (320 KB/S) available at 12:01 am on September 12th with purchase of the coffin box set!
All other formats will ship the week of September 12th!

ven0m · 04-09-2008 11:30am

ok - I could't help myself & downloaded the album ......

I.

Am.

F**king.

Gobsmacked.

Jesus H christmas - where have they been hiding this material & who gave Jaymz his balls back?

This has way exceeded even my own expectations (and people know my expectations from this thread going waaaaaay back!)

September 12th the boys get more of my hard earned money & I'll be as happy parting with the cash as I was with parting for a tape of RTL waaaay back in 1985.

I'm horrified to find out there's not a single track I don't like off it, & 'The Judas Kiss' ..... WOW ..... I love the whole vibe off that track.

Unforgiven 3 - good jesus .......... even I had to raise a 'wtf' when I heard that announced ...... Jaymz sucker punched everyone with that .... good lord!!!!

'All nitemare Long' - f**k me sideways, backways, upside down etc etc etc - ****ING WOW!!!

this is unlike anything I've ever heard or could even have imagined from ANY of those clips or video snippets ..... seriously, I am stunned by how much I love this, & how closely it is to the style of music I personally like writing & playing ....... I can't use enough words...

My only problem now is whether Santa will bring me eleventeen million new fingers for Christmas so I can play some of the solos, cos my hand since my motorcycle accident hasn't been Vai-able anymore :-(

Dang...

Funny thing is I emailed the crowd handling the Irish missionmetallica orders (MetallicaIRE metallicaire@trinitystreetdirect.com) asking them about the t-shirt size and when we'll get the coffin and got this reply...

Dear XXXX,

The t-shirt only comes in a large I am afraid. The box set will be dispatched a couple of days before the official release date which is the 12th of September.

Kind regards,

Louis

It'd be nice to get it for release date so hopefully we will, I'm hopin that metclub email only applies to the US.
Fingers crossed....:pac:

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 04-09-2008 12:59pm

on my second listen now and I'll already classify it as 'good'.. i'll probably love it by the end of the weekend.

gg Metallica.

Somnus · 04-09-2008 1:08pm

I was expecting pure rubbish from this album but I am so pleasantly surprised! Its f*ckin deadly. Listened to it a couple of times. The first half is better in my opinion. There's the odd bit I'm not mad on at the moment but it'll probably grow on me.

But,unlike everyone else here, I think Unforgiven III is a huge let down

I like the intro,the verse. But the chorus.... It just doesnt fit.Its not powerful. I just dont think it should be "The Unforgiven III"

But overall,I'm impressed. Definitely reminds me of Justice.

Glad to see they still have it!

Listened to the whole thing last night, first impressions: good. I can also see it growing on me, there isn't that instant revulsion I felt when I first listened to St. Anger. Unsurprisingly my 3 favourites at the mo (TDTNC, My Apocalypse, Cyanide) have all been around for a couple of weeks and I'v had time to listen to them more than the others. I can see All Nightmare Long becoming a favourite as well.

I was slightly disappointed with Unforgiven 3 (come on, no need for spoilers here surely!) which had been getting a bit of hype here and on other forums, fo me its not a patch on the original Unforgiven, I do like the piano intro though. Could be a grower.

In summary: phew, its proper Metallica again.

Den_M · 04-09-2008 2:18pm

It's weird hearing a new Metallica album that kicks bum, but this really does. It's great to have them back. I'd happily play tracks from this next to the classics from RTL, MOP, KIA and AJFA. Well done lads! I'm off to listen to it again.

Hours later, still have it on play here ........... what kind of a world do we live in where we FINALLY get a kick ass Metallica album after nearly 20 years .... that's still too bloody mental for me (although I like Load/ReLoad/S&M) ..... :eek: :eek:

Metallica - Death Magnetic.
