They claim that this new song is the most mellow of the album. The back half of the song isn't too bad.

So, why release that song first?

Why not your best song??

I listen to 93X from 6am-4pm and I swear to god they play it every hour on the hour and I am already sick of it. Why does 93X always do that with any new music, play it too much and you get sick of it right away.

Good gravy guys - why not just cut your hair in mullets and live in the past. Musicians grow and move - sometimes in ways we aren't used to. Give it some time.

For metal guys - some of you are really set in your ways, like crotchety old men talking about the olden days. LOL

(just needling some of you a bit - don't bite back too hard!!)

Exactly............. I almost gave up but figured I owed them the decency to Finnish the entire song after years of sharing their music...

I dont think its there best work and do hope the rest of this new cd is better my 2 cents on it.

Heard it on the way home from fishing tonight, not bad. I'll have to hear it a few more times before I can really judge it though.

the live sound tracks of cyanide did not sound that horrible. I dont like the new song mainly because i love the adrenaline rush songs.

I thought the song was good, not great. either way, I am a die hard Metallica fan, so I will be buying the CD when it comes out

Don't you ever listen to the radio and hear a song and say..."Wow, that's a great song!"

Some "grow" on you...but I expect more from a band that has blown me away in the past.

If they changed their style, that is fine. There are plenty of other bands that I like out there.

And, but the way....93X always plays songs over and over and over.... Boring station after Randy Shaver in the morning....

I agree Hammer Handle, have heard it a few times and it doesn't do much for me. Maybe it will grow on me, who knows.

Well I can't say I have heard it too many times, then again I haven't listened to 93x since I put Sirius in my car and boat.

Anyway when I did catch the new tune, my thoughts were this, the music kind of reminded me of the good ol days of Metallica, the vocals left much to be desired, and the big downfall on "the day that never comes" for me was the drums or rather the extreme lack there of, it almost seemed like the drums weren't even there.

But this is all just my opinion.

Been let down too many times in recent years expecting so more from their releases that I just don't even get excited about them.

ohhhh no.,I hope they are not 'dead' washed up 'former rockers'

The whole CD is pretty decent. There's 3 tracks that stand out, "The Day that Never Comes" and "The Unforgiven III" both are more mellow. "The Unforgiven III" is a better track IMO. "Suicide & Redemption" is a 10 minute instrumental, with lots of Kirk. Otherwise "All Nightmare Long" is the best track on the CD. The rest of the tracks all have the 16th note riffs and double bass pedal/snare fests you'd expect of their 80's albums. Hetfield seems to be trying a little too hard in his lyrics/vocals, a little more basic and raw and this album would have hit the nail square on the head.

Gimme Kill 'em All and master of puppets. This new stuff stinks!
