Metallica

[Perun]

Anyway, I just listened to the four other songs Sixes and Foro recommended to me. Halo on Fire was pretty good in the instrumental section, but why the six minutes before it? The rest was just naff.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

That is completely uncalled for, Cried.

Jesus, lighten up. Nobody types in capitals unless they're poking fun at someone, including themselves...

 

[Perun]

Eh. I was in a bad mood because I listened to the new Metallica album. Sorry.

 

[The Flash]

I can easily someone who doesn't care for James' vocals not enjoy this album. Because his vocals overall and vocal hooks are usually the highlights for me.

 

[Ariana]

Jesus, lighten up.

Wrong deity.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

OK, for someone whose standard is Ride the Lightning I guess I can understand you not liking it Perun. You need to at least appreciate some of the Load/Reload era material and of course Black Album stuff to accept the new 'Tallica album as one of their better ones.

It's like those Maiden fans who wants a new Powerslave, never gonna happen!

 

[Forostar]

The slower and calmer songs aside, I rather hear the debut album style with more harmony and melody and with better singing.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Eh. I was in a bad mood because I listened to the new Metallica album. Sorry.

I'm sorry too. I'm sorry for telling you to lighten up. And for trash talking Foro. I love you both.

 

[Albie]

Ive yet to listen to their new album. The general consensus is, yet again for Metallica of late, divided. I do have a feeling I might be good with it I mean I really like Death Magnetic.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

If you liked Death Magnetic I think you'll like the new album. Unless you thought DM was too catchy....

 

[Albie]

There was some moments on DM that I loved, there was some moments I thought was just OK. All Nightmare Long ranks, for me, as one of their best ever songs.

 

[Brigantium]

If you liked Death Magnetic I think you'll like the new album. Unless you thought DM was too catchy....

This is promising, then.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

This is promising, then.

There's a lot more catchy hooks and focus on the new album. Have you heard the new album yet Brigantium?

 

[Brigantium]

Nah. I've been mostly doing job hunting stuff, not listening to music.

 

[Night Prowler]

If you liked Death Magnetic I think you'll like the new album. Unless you thought DM was too catchy....

I disagree. I love DM and this new album is a disappointment IMO. I'd say if you liked Black Album/(Re)Load and don't care much for thrash-Metallica, you'll like this album.

 

[The Mid-Distance Runner]

Thanks jazz from hell, confirms my theory.

Atlas, Rise! has similar DNA to Master of Puppets (song) in terms of verse/prechorus/epic chorus, vocals, guitar harmonies? Not as immortal but one of their best since MoP.

Confusion is a better opener to the second half of the album than Shortest Straw was on Justice.

 

[The Mid-Distance Runner]

I'd say if you liked Black Album/(Re)Load and don't care much for thrash-Metallica, you'll like this album.

I hear their first three albums on at least 5 songs.

 

[Detective Beauregard]

Atlas Rise is one of the weakest as well.

 

[Forostar]

Hetfield on 'Hardwired': I Wanted To Combine 'Kill 'Em All' And The Black Album

 

[The Flash]

It certainly sounds like it. Probably would even more so if it had that rough stripped down early days production.
