"Through the Never" has a good riff but the vocal part ruins it for me. I like the live version for the extra energy but the studio cut does nothing for me. "The God That Failed" also seems to go nowhere IMO though not without it's moments, and I love the lyrics. And as great "Wherever I May...

I'd be lying if I said it grabbed me right away as I felt a betrayal of their earlier roots. Yet the riffs to "Sad But True" and "Don't Tread On Me" are very thickly toned and exciting metal riffs (even if the vocal parts and overall feel is heading into rock), the proceeding in particular...

Not sure what I prefer, The Black Album or Death Magnetic, but certainly their best in a long time. Glad to hear it's grown on you.

I suppose so, just enjoyed it a lot myself.

And I can't argue with that but it's not unfocused enough to frustrate me. Keep in mind, that i'm here to give me a social environment when i'm by myself and to to vent my musical opinions, on Maiden and not Maiden. I'm not the die-hard Maiden fan many others here are. I am however a rabid...

Yeah, quiet is much better. The only version of DM I listen to now is that because I don't my brain to explode when shuffling through tracks. Definitely give it a look.

I'd recommend giving the Guitar Hero III mix of the album a listen, which is available f0r torrent downloading. You could argue it's too quiet, but it's still better produced IMO. And I would entirely agree.

Fair enough, but I don't think they'll ever be the great metal band they once were. I was able to accept that, and I loved Death Magnetic for what it was. I mean I don't listen to it often but as a loyally devoted Metallica fan, it made me very, very happy listening to it. I would agree with...

I'm not disputing that, and I like "Mama Said" but if Rock gave them a bit of a direction to beef up a song like "Aint My Bitch", than I would have had a great deal of respect for him. If it's a cool album, than what's the big deal? I'm just glad they've done a consistently enjoyable album for...

I think Rock was excellent at that on The Black Album but after that, I think he got lazy. The band were clearly tired of being Metallica, and The Black Album was already lacking a metal punch as is, so instead of Rock suggesting them to suck it up, do some side-projects and get back to being...

:confused:

That's generally his role but I think for a good reason. He just lets the band get on with it and offers whatever advice he needs to get them back on track. Also he did a good job of making Lars's drum sound tolerable which I more than admire. Lars has been terrible in recent years in the live...

Let's not put too much blame on Rick. He brought them back to what they used to do, and the way he works is very effective depending on the right band. He should have cut a bit of Death Magnetic down perhaps but I can't blame him too much.

Wow, very Pink Floyd-like for a Maiden cover. Like it.

I'm pretty sure they're metal or at least Clutch is hard rock. Perhaps this episode of my favourite podcast might help you out. Plays excerpts of tracks to see if it might tickle your fancy. FTATR 200 - Earth Rocker by Clutch

Not a fan of Devil's Dance but I'd agree with that.

Oh undoubtedly but look at stuff like "Master of Puppets", "Orion" and "To Live is to Die". Incredible stuff.

I love their longer works. Find them to incredible composers.

Motley Crue are incredible live as I have stated and i've heard amazing things about Kiss and Manson but musically speaking, Priest wins.

I always just found it to be rather saccharine, by no means near the heights of a "Fade to Black" or "Beyond the Realms of Death", or by the same band, a "Hallowed be Thy Name" or "Remember Tomorrow". Maybe I should give it another listen though.
