Indeed. Mechanix doesn't sound totally serious but at least with Steel Panther - you *know* they're being tongue in cheek.

Plus Mustaine was probably 18 when he wrote those lyrics ?

So horses for courses etc.

So check out my stupidity. I was going to ask if anyone thought the abrupt end to Dyer's Eve symbolizes suicide, but then I'm like, wait, the song's called DYER'S Eve... :facepalm: I never thought about it before, and I've been a fan since the early nineties.

... back to work.

On a different note, I read a comment somewhere stating that Kirk's soloing has become better in the last South American tour. Curious, I checked out the last two videos from the tour which featured One and ...And Justice For All. I thought Kirk's soloing was really pretty good! Here are the links:

It's that constant dilemma of

A) "It's been a while since Metallica released an album, give us new music!"
B) "Yeah so the new album is awful, play the classics!"

basically the story of their career for the last 20 years or so

I fucking hate these Metallica fans who bitch all the time and shit on music that hasn't even been written yet. Death Magnetic was a fantastic album, and likely the new album will be a lot like it in style, not a bad thing! It's a great thrash album. I just heard that new Slayer song that was put out, and it was a pile of shit! But when i went and read the comment section, it was full of people shitting on Metallica and cumming over the Slayer song. It makes me sad.

I think it has a lot to do with trash fans' utter lack of faith in Metallica these days. A lot of people will desire change, yet they don't. There's no pleasing everybody in the end. After four albums, I'm sure the guys didn't see themselves wanting to do the same thing over and over again, hence the change they went through. What one can admire, at the very least, is the amount of testicular fortitude it probably took on their part to go forward with their plans despite the backlash they knew they would receive.

Dammit. In cricket, the fourth innings is the final innings. Being an American band, presumably it's a baseball analogy which means it's less far-advanced. :lol

Well we know they're not halfway done since writing is 50% and recording is 50% and they're writing right now.

Given how basic the recording was on DM, I don't think recording counts for that much of a percentage. But this is proof that sports references should just be avoided. :biggrin:

Because Death Magnetic was no home run :neverusethis:


The sound of that album was so bad - they even recorded drums at the legendary Sound City and they still sounded like shit.

The drum recording was actually very good, but the drum mix was very dry, and of course the rest of the mix/master was totally botched to the point of ruining it. So unless they remix and remaster it, I guess that's kind of moot for now.

The guitars have no power to them at all either.

They really need to put out a great album next time.

There's something really very wrong if the biggest rock band on the planet put out three awful sounding albums in a row.

Rick Rubin is producing this one aswell right? So I already have low expectations for the sound of this album. :lol That and Metallica don't seem to give a shit about it, either.

Can they please pick someone, anyone, who won't make it sound awful? I doubt we'll have the lucky coincidence of a Guitar Hero version this time around. Maybe Kevin Shirley?

We're living in an age where people can make better sounding rock albums on their home studios than the biggest rock band on the planet can IN A STUDIO.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I don't get the hate Death Magnetic gets. It's fuckin awesome. This is what people have wanted for so long, a return to classic thrash by the band.

So my question is, what do you all want to hear on the next Metallica record? What particular traits would make their next album pleasing to you? Only serious answers please.
