I mean to say that I am(was perhaps?) a Mettalica fan. But Im kinda : one, seek-n-destroy, sad-but-true, wherever-I-may-roam loving guy.. I like the older songs much more.

Yeah. I mean it's different man. Loving it. But then again; Mettalica is losing on me; I am kinda glued up to Thrash/Black Metal nowadays...

ADDED: This one starts off with something like unforgiven style; with james in his always-solid vocals but hes not much of himself here I guess.. Is it just me who thinks so? Later we have kirk with somewhat one-like bridge. Its a fusion; I cant decide to which micro-genre the song fits in.

Yawn... off to sleep.

[MetalheadGautham]

its not something unique. Its basically metallica's undefined heavy ballad melody genre. Fade To Black, Where The Wild Things Are, Unforgiven, One, etc fall here.

But I think the main problem in this song is that James tries to sing too much and ends up screwing things up towards the end. And the instrumentation is extremely complex and melodious, but it lacks the old familiar metallica POWER. It doesn't fill you up with the energy it usually does in songs like Enter Sandman, Fade To Black, etc.

Its pretty old news, the song is awesome, though a little alt-rock typish so it kinda shocked me at first.
I prefer cyanide to tell you the truth.

[rockthegod]

"unforgiven" styled song.. though much less inferior in lyrics and music !!!! thanks for the update !!!!

[nish_higher]

Dunno but I feel its a bit different from Fade to black, etc. I find something weird in vocals and drums this time..

Its old news but not many knew of it. Take a look at hullap for example

This anything but unforgiven. It begins like Fade To Black, but ends like One, and in the middle its like Bleeding Me.

Its because of that TUM TUM type sound from snare drm.
And hetfield is messing with his voice again.

Hell, I was wondering all the time about drums. Metallica doesnt have many numbers with this kinda drumming I believe?

[nish_higher]

It actually sounds like a home recording on a budget.drums sound is muffled and snare is not the same that they usually use.so different characters.but not good sounding.hopefully they will have something better when the album is out.i don't wanna buy yet another bad recording this year.

Metallica had lost it decade ago.............I have no hope of them returning to pro Black Album kinda stuff!!! As far as this song...I'm trying to like it!!!

James impressed me for the first 2-3 minutes but after that I was like.. duh! And after 5 Mins; I kinda like the one-like riffs and thereafter... James crapped it all IMO

They had NEVER lost it till they released St. Anger. This song is MUCH better than MOST of the stuff in black album. It reminds me of Load/Reload/Garage.

ALL songs from the single I Disappear onwards have this odd sounding snare drum. Its quite awssome actually, when you think of it.

It just sounds RAW. I like it. Its one of the most soundly developed albums, and it reminds me of some Anthrax albums and more importantly the Slayer Album Reign in Blood.

And this IS the album version of the song. Problem is, you can't easily make a ballad sound raw without making it uglier. But I just can't stop loving this. This is one of THE best songs metallica ever released.

As I said before, this is Lars' new drumming style, thats all.

^no doubt the music is awesome.read my first post.i've also read so much about this new album being recorded good but new producers screw the sound(again,not music) most me the times.i'm into this field so i can say this-if this is a master,its really not what u expect from metallica.

I KNOW this should be the master because the album is going to be out in a few more days.

The reason its sounding bad to you is because the stream quality is HORRIBLE. I got a better version, and its pwning my music system with its beautiful sound.

Rick Rubin is NOT just *any* producer. And this sound is PURE, and more importantly RAW. But I guess another reason for this open sound is the reason mentioned by james himself - he played the songs without amps by him so he was more open in striking the chords, and hence there is a small but quite noticable difference, but I prefer it this way.

I listened to The Day That Never Comes...and I must say I'm really disappointed. I have been an insane Metallica fan ever since I first heard Fade to Black when I was in 7th grade. This stuff is just tooo mainstream for my taste. Blah..Metallica have lost their way. ><

This is the most toned down song in that album, and is MEANT to be a mainstream song.

If you heard cyanide, I am sure you will agree that metallica has STILL not lost it.

[Psychosocial]

I aint starting a new thread but I do have one MORE single other than Cyanide and The Day That Never Comes........its called My Apocalypse and pwns both of this songs..... anyone who wants it can PM me.

And this will be my next original album. Still trying to find Slipknot's All Hope is Gone in various stores in my cities but no luck .
