View Full Version : Tallica's new single "the day that never comes"
who's heard it? who cares is a better question...
has a very old school typical metallica intro to it and sorta moves into a 'fade to black-ish' chorus. sounds soooo much better than st. anger.
you can tell rick rubin told them to pull their finger out.
oh, here:
for those who might wanna listen

one of those typical 'get your lighters out and lit them' songs
i like st anger (the song) more
not fantastic like the shit from their first four but it's very nice to hear
oh too right. they know they'll never strike that match again... no band could ever repeat a run like that but i appreciate the fact they've dumped bob rock and the whole 'let's all write lyrics; let's all write drum tracks and guitar lines; let's not let kirk do solos'. by the sounds of it, lars and james have taken metallica by the balls again.

The constant snare drum on every beat makes me want to rip my hair out during the best part of the song. It's really weird they can still play an awesome live show, but don't have the ear to make great stuff anymore.
...and to be honest, if you are going to put "Love is a four letter word" as a lyric in your song and not laugh when you sing it, I won't listen to your music.
Overall, it exceeded the low expectations I had for it.
i thought they were supposed to be getting back to their thrash roots.
did they tell you that in person... they never will go back to their "thrash" roots... they ain't 19/20 years old anymore. i don't know how many times i've heard lars say "we ain't doing MOP pt. 2, we ain't doing kill em all again".
this song is such an improvement from st. anger; how can you not appreciate it?
and the snare on every hit? umm... this isn't tommy lang/dave lombardo/brann dailor... lars ulrich is a poor drummer. he does fine in this song.
ok, FUCK ME... if this is their closest thing to thrash in years, i dunno what is.

i don't know about this one
i don't like how hetfield delivers the lyrics. and the drumming is way to repetitive.
are you serious? prepare for blasphermy but this reminds me of dyers eve/battery A LOT. it's never gonna be as good as them songs but it's bloody similar.

i like it. heard it live for the first time, at reading the other day, then saw it on itunes. is it definitely the single? i thought it was just a preview released track...i though cyanide was gonna be the single. that sounded better to me.
but no it's a tune, especially after a few listens. i actually like st anger a lot. not so much now, but at the time i lived in it for about 3 months. people whinge on about the production and drums etc, and his vocals...which is fine, i completely see the point. but to me, it's far more edgy and raw than the new stuff i've heard.
then again to completely contradict i've often asked myself how mega it would've all sounded with some huge production behind it. st anger was heavy as fuck too, which is always a good thing.

Blasphemy on you for even comparing it to something Burton was involved with.

okay, this new one is more like what i expected this album to sound like.
it still sucks ass, but not nearly as badly.
Blasphemy on you for even comparing it to something Burton was involved with.
REMINDS! never said 'sounds like' :p slayer songs remind me of dyers eve/battery. nothing will compare to burton's material; we all know that.
ok, album has leaked.

hopefully because it's just a leaked version, but the production is horrible. great fucking songs and it's an actual cohesive fucking album.
BUT...
rick rubin has a habit of recording albums as LOUD as possible. this just causes distortion and clipping. when calculation replay gain(if anyone knows what the fuck im talking about) it had an album gain of 13.26db. that's fucking loud! and not loud in a good way.
but hopefully since this is leaked and only MP3's the actual album might be better. but probably not.

sounds alright so far, i think i'll have to give it another listen later while not at work though
maybe i'll download the album and check that out as well
certainly is a step in the right direction. i don't think james is as emotional as he was the past 5-10 years

i went in with very low expectations for this album. which honestly i think is warranted, metallica not putting out a good album since the black album imo.
wow was i shocked, this album hits harrrrd. this sounds like a lost album from 15 years ago. i like the whole thing, not a single skip worthy song. i was pleasantly surprised. may be an album of the year contender for me personally.

Oh Really? Please tell me which song off the black lp "hit hard" maybe I've been missing something all these years. the black lP was softball metal: Safe for the Kids.
I'm not attacking you CyP: But I have nothing but contempt for that LP. AJFA was a let down but the black lp made me lose all respect for the band. I dropped them like a hot potato after that and heard through the grapevine that they only got more sugary sweet with each passing lp.
I'm in no hurry to hear the new lp even though some metalheads I put confidence in tell me its a good lp. A Kill'em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets: No~ But a good record nevertheless. I'll wait til someone brings it over and is packing some hydro before I'll give it a listen.

o no doubt about it Kill'em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets are miles better than all their other stuff. but the black album had some good tracks on there no doubt about it. i didnt grow up with them so im not mad at them for selling out or anything. and if you reread my post i never said the black album hit hard, i just called it a good album, in my opinion.
i said death magnetic, hits harrrrrrd. because it does. rick rubin brought that old school sound back.
im not even joking when i say i didn't like there past like 5 albums. i thought they were garbage. dont mess with them at all. but this is just a different album. i think you will be legitimately surprised.

Well CYP's,
I take your word as granite stone. Not being a smart ass either. I've read the vocalist of Exodus,RD, proclaiming he's really into that LP and AxMaster Gary says something along the lines that it Ain't Bad. Fuck It! I'll take the Plunge and buy it...How bout this though~ You buy Testament~ The Formation of Damnation and then we'll compare notes
Deal? I'll bet dollars to donuts that Metallica's LP is absent of riffs like Testaments "The Formation of Damnation" 2:16 forward is absolute LAW! And then add in the mix that vocalist Chuck Billy put Cancer in a headlock, dressed it up like a schoolgirl and made it his prisonbitch and you have to admit that Testament is the real winner.
But, who knows, I might be surprised. As may You. Seriously, Check it out. And if you really feel like getting crazy try Exodus ~ Funeral Hymn(y)

This new album is what I expected from them after the black album. Took 'em 18 years (damn, I feel old). Absolutely amazing(if your into the genre). I'm actually blown away from it, especially from what they have put out since then. St Anger was alright but couldn't get over the tin can snare that Lars had, quite annoying but much more toned down in this one. I like it a lot, can't wait to see them live again and they have a huge task headlining Lamb Of God.

I checked those guys out. Not too shabby. It defiantly hits hard, harder than death magnetic. But that doesn't mean DM still doesn't do the business. I wasn't a big fan of the lead singer for testament though. Id rate DM higher than that album though, but thats coming down to personal taste.
Is it me or is the mastering on this album shite? It sounded wanky in my car and worst on my ipod.

i find that to be a very minor complaint. the first metallica album worth listening to in ages and people are complaining about that. just be thankful they finally put out some good music again.
i dont hear anyone saying "yea saint anger sucked balls, but did you hear the mastering of that bull sucking? it was incredible."
Still, if you're going to pull your finger out of your arse and make a decent album at least finish the fucker off properly and let me play it at a decent level without it fuzzing up.

The Guitar Hero 3 version of this album has MUCH better mastering. there's rips of the GH3 version out there on torrent sites. just make sure you find one that has been touched up a bit with some remastering. the straight unremastered rips from GH3 have way too much trebble.

I don't know, Sad But True hits pretty hard. I think And Justice...is one of the most underrated albums. Most old school Metallica have a problem with the fact is spawned a video, but to be honest, that kinda shit just doesn't bother me.
I'm all for bands doing the same thing but I'm glad they branched out a bit sand got beyond thrash sounds. People refer to the first 3 records like they're the same albums - they're not, there's a fair few leaps between Kill 'Em All and Master of puppets. I think Blackened is better than anything on the first 3 - but then that's the first Metallica song I ever heard so I'm kinda attatched to it.
But yeah, the new one's good - first song should blow you away, and it doesn't really let up from there.
it's kind of impossible for a metallica album to be mastered properly...except for maybe the black album; that's pretty fucking clean.
MOP = way too quiet
AJFA = no bass guitar
ANGER = snare?
MAGNETIC = we all know why.

there's a company called DCC. they release albums that they have mastered themselves using the first generation masters of albums. they usually hire very well respected masterers. the dcc versions of MOP and RTL are excelent.
for whatever reason albums that have been mastered in japan seem to be mastered with more bass. in the japanese release of AJFA you can just about follow the basslines. the bass is not obvious but it's there. more noticeable than then regular american releases.
just look on torrent sites.

I still have been lackadaisical in picking it up. I had no problem with their making a video. Hell, I've always loved videos. I just posted Testaments "Over the Wall" video not too long ago. Back in the mid to late 80's you could only see the thrash videos right before Headbangers Ball called it a night. So when given the choice between seeing Kiss "Crazy Nights" for the umpteenth time and anything with a distortion pedal that had a gratuitous use of the E palm mute then I'm all for B.
I never branched the 1st 3 LP's as one. I prefer the songs they stole from Dave Mustaine so I'm all for Kill'em All, then Ride the Lighting followed by the polished sound of MoP's. But that's just me...Most people tend to go from MoP to RTL then KA.
CYP: Glad you gave it a listen. Me Personally I prefer Chuck Billy's vocals- He means Business. Fast Fact: Steven Zetro that sang with Exodus from Pleasures of the Flesh to Tempo of the Damned used to be Testaments original vocalist. Also Guitarist Alex Sckolnick for Testament went onto play jazz music after he left them in the early 90's- Just to bootstomp the some naysayers say that Thrash guitarists are hacks.
