kevin11 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You're gonna have to go into more detail as to why it sucked.Not as good as their first three albums, but still pretty amazing. I Since Burton died, I hated everything they put out. I LOVED MOP and RTL. I'll try and give that album another listen. It doesn't click with me like MOP and RTL did.

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Since Burton died, I hated everything they put out. I LOVED MOP and RTL. I'll try and give that album another listen. It doesn't click with me like MOP and RTL did. As much as people like to point to Burton's death as the difference in Metallica, I think another huge difference was going from Fleming Rasmussen to Bob Rock as producers. Why they made this change, I have no idea. A lot of people hate the black cd, I think it's pretty good. Probably cause it was my first Metallica cd back in the day and I have good memories from it, but the sound definitely changed then. But lets face it...after the Black album, Metallica wasn't young and hungry anymore. Combine that and Bob Rock, and you have Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger. Burton was an excellent bassist, but Metallica still put out an awesome album in AJFA. I'll hold Bob Rock more responsible than Jason Newsted for the change in sound.

slackermike Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 it sucked. The only somewhat decent song was One. I'll have to disagree with you there.... I generally like the entire album, but my favorite song on that disc is "Blackened". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Paint Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I loved the Justice album. However, my biggest complaint about it was that the bass guitar was way too drowned out by the over-dubbed guitars. You can barely hear the bass in that album. Most of the low end frequency on that album is from a guitar, which was one of the layers of many layered guitar tracks. Kirk recorded one guitar with lots of bass on the EQ, which is the bassy sound you hear. Then he over-dubbed the same riff with a lot of mids boosted. Then did the same track with the treble cranked. This resulted in a fat guitar sound but the bass guitar was lost in the mix. That album would be so much better if the bass guitar was audible.

Fan since a Fetus Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 New song live at Ozzfest: Cyanide James's vocals still bug me! However, the song is the best thing since the Black album. Also, Justice is my favorite. How can you not like Blackened and to Live is to Die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 That song still seems to jump all over the place, which was a problem I had with St. Anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Even if it does suck I'm still going to the show. We get Down as one of the opening acts so that's alright by me. I hear that Metallica plays mostly old stuff at their shows anyway. I hope so.

Commander PK Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Some of you busting Metallica's balls for the last 18 years, might find this interesting. Metallica has gone back to an old-school sound, but not for the fans. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1592244/20080806/metallica.jhtml James Hetfield"I don't know — in a way, yes, and in a way, no," he told MTV News last week. "The last thing I want is someone to think, 'Oh, they had to go back to Puppets because that was the best album, and they're doing it because we want it.' If we start writing songs for our fans, something's gone wrong. The fans may think they know best, but hey, I'm the armchair quarterback when I'm watching my team too. At the end of the day, we have to write it because we love it and it's coming from our heart. That's why people connect with it. If you start doing it for the fans, you've lost the plot." But at the same time, Hetfield does acknowledge that the band did try to find its way back to that Puppets mind-set. "We recognize there was an essence, there was a youth, there was a something about that record, and this is a perfect time for a record like this," he said, "because old-school metal is huge and coming back, and there's so many people wanting to play, and get riffy again, get solo. ... I love that, so [with this record], it's like us starting over again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 www.myspace.com/metallica They've uploaded a clean bootleg version of that Cyanide performance to their myspace page. Sounds decent. Curious to see how the album version is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks Spiff, that was much better. Still got a little choppy in the middle but the opening was hitting! Yeah, I like the opening. And Kirk's solo in the middle/end was good...and had traces of old school Metallica solos and sounds in there. Still trying not to get my hopes up, but I can't lie anymore. I'm excited.
