What are you listening to?

Metallica - My Apocalypse

Back to basics, it just works!

Just listening to this now... noise fest! Sounds like something off of MoP!

Day That Never Comes is much better - better than anything on St.Anger, so thats a start - some of the lyrics are still a bit shite though.

Got the new Verve album last night - had a quick listen and thought it was excellent!
 
Excellent? Hmm I only gave it a skim through, and wasn't really listening as I had it in the background, but I thought it sounded a bit ... dull.

Yea, as I said, gave it a 'quick' listen... :D first 3 songs are really good - mellow with an edge, rest fade off to drudge.

Ah well :( Stick the first 3 on my iTunes rotation and bin the rest.

Just about to listen - thank you France :)

Nice to see the guys a bit more relaxed about leaks this time :LOL: They HAVE mellowed...

EDIT:

2 songs in... eugh... awful!

I've also listened to Unforgiven III which starts ok, but is 'meh'.

The Day That Never Comes is fab, but I didnt like My Apocalypse.

End of Metallica (for me personally). :( I'll remember them by when I saw them at Reading in 97 and the albums '...Justice' and 'Metallica/Black' - I also really liked Load...

EDIT:

3 songs in... eugh... awful... laughable!

This really is terrible. Maybe I'm getting old, but its just thrash - terrible lyrics ("WHAT DONT KILL YOU MAKES YOU MORE STRONG" cheers for that James).... just horrible thumping and thrashing with little melody.

Sad day!

EDIT:

Day That Never Comes stands out like a sore thumb. Shows how poor this record is when 1 song does that.

FINAL EDIT:

I cannot listen to any more... :(
