The first single is up on their website. I don't care what anyone says.....they still rock. This reminds of the good old days.

Metallica sucks balls.
for once we agree.
sheep
Edit - I actually liked it, a bit surprised by that. 3/4 of the way in it got a bit Maiden sounding, which is never bad.
However, they will never EVER equal/top RTL or MOP ever, ever again.

I'll turd...I mean third that sentiment. They've sucked for a long time. Since after ...And Justice for All.for once we agree.

lthumbsdown:The only Metallica worth listening to involves Cliff Burton.
Metallica died in 1986.
I know I'm opening up a can of worms by saying this but what is the obsession with Cliff Burton? Great bass player? Yes. Worthy of legendary status? I just don't see it.

He sucks because he fenced HIS property? Maybe instead of crying about it, people should get off of their asses and buy their own property to do what they wish with it.
Ayn Rand salutes you!

What's funny is that someone who doesn't like his new fence vandalized it with graffiti that says SHAME or some such thing. So smart and productive.

Metallica is DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this is any indication of how their new album will sound, it's all over with. They have not produced a good album since "and justice for all. This album is their make it, or break it one. The biggest problem with them since the "Black" album is Hetfield is trying to sing. It's just awful. I've been listening to Metallica since 1983 and other than their older stuff, I can't stand the new material.
It's official!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are done!!!!!

Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe it's Ayn.
The big problem is that the went from working with the likes of Rick Ruben to working with Bob Rock. What's crazy is that this album was again produced by Rick Ruben which will probably serve to show that he is also washed up. Either that or they simply have so little inspiration/talent left he had nothing to work with. (Edit: this is the likely scenario as Rick Ruben has far too many accolades to write off as a producer.)

If you're going to reference authors, at least get their names right. Especially someone as controversial as Ayn Rand.
DAMN potroast beat me to it!
He was the soul of the band. The fact that he rocked the bell bottom jeans well into the 80's is proof that he could give a crap about anything besides music. I would also argue that he was more than a "great" bass player. His solo is legendary.
To me the band went in a bad direction after his death.
Happy?
No, I live in LA. Happiness has been banned here. But I approve of the spelling correction.Happy?
Point taken but I've just never really cared much about individual members of bands I listen to unless they are clearly the driving force. A band is either good or not so good. If a member leaves and the music suffers, chances are I won't listen long enough to care who's fault it is.

Not to drag out this debate but to me solos speak not at all about true song writing talent. I could care less how well someone shows off their solo skills on stage in front of a crowd if they can't write a song to save their life. I know several super technically talented musicians who are not good song writers but would knock your socks off playing solos all day.
Assuming Cliff took part in the writing of the songs on Master of Puppets this obviously isn't an issue.

metallica doesn't speak to me.
LOL, justified.No, I live in LA. Happiness has been banned here. But I approve of the spelling correction.
Metallica was an awesome band. When Dave Mustaine got booted because he was a drunk, the band was different, but still clearly rocked (although Dave wrote some awesome songs, I think the band was better without him). After Cliff died, the band went south.
I would say that Cliff, based on your definition, would = a driving force.
While John Galt and Gail Wynand might salute your attitude, this is property about 20 miles away from Bay Area, and I don't have 10 million dollars to buy land in Marin.
There are hundreds of trails which on private property. For example, the Kingdom Trails in Vermont. These trails exist because the landowners are not bothered by some people riding on undeveloped property.
Marin is a heavily populated area but with plenty of open space. It is not so easy to get access to trails, and locals should take steps to protect trailheads.
Holy crap is that awful. I can't believe that is going to be their single.
Sucks... no surprise.
I had a very eloquent, thought out response that I was going to post that basically said this exact thing. Thanks for summing it up for me.
i heard the single today and thought it kicked ass.
The radio station I listen to has been playing it every 45-60 minutes so I've actually listened to it and it's not horrible but it seems like the song goes 3 different directions and I'm done with hearing Jame's singing grunt at the end of every line. I like "Kill Them All" as it "speaks" to me, but I'll prolly end up listening to the new album as my wife is a super fan.
Yep - Kill 'Em All speaks to me too. I think it's the best of their first 3 but it's definitely a tough call.
Did anyone see that documentary where they all started crying over their friendship? It was the least metal thing I think I've ever seen.

3/4 of the way? WTF?
It starts out horrible... I didn't even make it 1/2 way through.
For the record I like 'em through Justice... the Black album I found marginal at best. Luckily on their Black tour they played mostly old stuff IIRC. It was all way too f**king loud.
"Puppets" was their best album.
'single'??? will it be on out 7" vinyl?
