Wow the unison thing around 4:20 is awesome.

Yeah everyone can agree on that at least. I just bought it from iTunes.

"Today we’re proud to bring you the third and final sneak peek from the album"

Glad this is the last single before the album.

Pretty cool song.

I'd call this a bit overlong, but boy that bridge hook is great. It's a bit unfortunate that some of James's riffs are so dull, considering nothing else is going on there. The dual guitar melodies are nice though.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3119 on:** October 31, 2016, 03:06:38 PM »

I'm happy. To be fair this is probably the best we can expect from them at this point.

There's 9 more songs to come. 10 if you include the 2016 studio version of Lords of Summer on Disc 3.

Apparently the album is varied too. I bet they released the most old school sounding ones first.

Adami · « **Reply #3120 on:** October 31, 2016, 03:12:06 PM »

Given how the last two albums were described before release, I don't put much stock into all the descriptions we're getting.

I'm considering the unheard songs to be mysteries till I hear them. They will probably be a lot like what we've heard, even if some are a bit slower, but I doubt we'll be getting any "Where the Wild Things Are" type stuff ever again. I'm okay with that, I can always listen to Reload.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3121 on:** October 31, 2016, 03:14:03 PM »

Just listened to all three tracks on my good headphones.

They're great. For me - they're so much better than Death Magnetic. The nice crisp and fat production really helps too.

Can I also just say that I loved that video? It has a real life to it.

I love that most of the visuals are of them not performing correctly.

Progmetty · « **Reply #3126 on:** October 31, 2016, 03:38:24 PM »

I've only listened to maybe 5 Iron Maiden songs ever and I still recognize the huge influence on the chorus, not just influence actually it sounds stolen but I can't name the Maiden song.

Other people are saying Hallowed Be Thy Name.

Just checked it out, yes that's sounds about right!
Man that song is good, I really need to get into Maiden.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #3129 on:** October 31, 2016, 03:52:23 PM »

I think I maybe like the most out of the three so far. I watched the video and all I could think is that Het is the coolest guy and Lars is the polar opposite

he's so uncool it's funny.

I'm not hugely hyped on the album but I try not to let myself get too excited. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised though

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3130 on:** October 31, 2016, 03:58:13 PM »

Because the video is basically an in the studio montage - guess that means there's no "Behind The Scenes" of the video this time

Hopefully there is still a "Behind The Scenes" of writing the song...

Progmetty · « **Reply #3131 on:** October 31, 2016, 03:58:58 PM »

I'm hoping it leaks sometime next week. The Green Day album leaked 12 or 13 days before release day.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #3132 on:** October 31, 2016, 04:04:08 PM »

I say fuck yeah to Atlas, Rise! Absolutely killer!! I'm more than ready for this album!!

I dunno how I feel about RevRad. It's *good* but it didn't blow me away. Plus it's fucking loud.

Progmetty · « **Reply #3134 on:** October 31, 2016, 04:16:13 PM »

I thought it was a decent effort, I enjoyed it thoroughly. If the trilogy was combined into one album it would be a better album than RevRad though.

pogoowner · « **Reply #3135 on:** October 31, 2016, 04:25:47 PM »

I wasn't blown away by the first two tracks. Atlas, Rise! might be the most interesting thing they've released in about 20 years, though.

Yes. One album and heavier guitars. Say Goodbye is just Holiday again. Bang Bang, Revolution Radio, Forever Now, Bouncing Off The Walls and Too Dumb To Die are Great.

Too Dumb To Die easily has my fave chorus on the album apart from " If this is what you call the good life " bit in Forever Now....

METALLICA!!! Cannot wait for the album. Seriously gonna be playing it all day.

hmm so the best IM song... Just got home from work so time to watch the videos. But I read talk of harmonizing guitars which I'd imagine is where the IM comparison is coming from. I'll find out myself...

Adami · « **Reply #3138 on:** October 31, 2016, 04:55:53 PM »

I didn't hear Hallowed be Thy Name, but I definitely noticed Maiden on the first listen.

Totally cool with it.

ariich · « **Reply #3139 on:** October 31, 2016, 04:58:13 PM »

Haven't decided how much I like the song, but damn this is the closest they've sounded in style to early Metallica since... well, early Metallica.

cramx3 · « **Reply #3140 on:** October 31, 2016, 04:59:15 PM »

The end of the guitar solo sounded a bit like IM, but I certainly, on the overall feel, didn't notice a huge IM influence. Sounded more like a better DM type of song. Pretty solid overall. I'd put it in the middle of the 3 songs released with Moth Into Flame as the best so far. Granted, it was only one listen.

Adami · « **Reply #3141 on:** October 31, 2016, 05:05:34 PM »

I think I'm also just not a big fan of Hetfields current vocal style. I feel like he's just yelling a lot these days. Hard to specify what makes it different from the older stuff, but it's a very different style.

LCArenas · « **Reply #3142 on:** October 31, 2016, 08:30:43 PM »

All the three songs released so far have been consistently good. Really liking Atlas, Rise! as well, probably my favourite song of those three.

Adami · « **Reply #3143 on:** October 31, 2016, 08:36:24 PM »

Hm, so what do you guys think the odds are that this is the last Metallica studio album?

Given their ages, and how long it takes them to do one, they'll be in their 60's the next time they'd release one (if they stick to their current schedule).

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3144 on:** October 31, 2016, 10:08:17 PM »

I didn't even last two minutes into this song. Yet another song of forgettable riffing and the same phoned in vocal melody. Hetfield isn't even trying with these vocals at all. It's becoming a joke at this point.

wolfking · « **Reply #3145 on:** November 01, 2016, 05:25:24 AM »

I didn't dig the first few minutes either and I agree with Blob a bit in regards to James' vocals. He just sounds too pretty and clean or something. I will say the riff before the generic Kirk solo was absolutely killer. And all the IM comparison talk over a 20 second section is a little much IMO.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3146 on:** November 01, 2016, 05:32:31 AM »

The review embargo lifts today. Reviews are coming in. Apparently there's some really melodic - almost poppy songs - on this album. Also some slow and moody tracks.

I bet they deliberately put out the most Metallica sounding ones first.

Bolsters · « **Reply #3147 on:** November 01, 2016, 05:34:22 AM »

That new song is far too long for what it contains.

Iron Maiden is my all time fav band, but this comment is legit.
