New Metallica.. finally

[Mong]

Interesting

I rate harvester highly.

Nightmare, imo, is better than frayed ends of sanity and eye of the beholder.. Judas Kiss is too

To live is to die is my favourite track on AJFA by the length of the Flemington straight. As far as song writing goes it is as close as you will get to perfection IMO.

 

[Mong]

To live is to die is mine, very closely followed by blackened.

The opening track on the first 4 albums are all awesome

 

[umina panther]

Can't believe this band still has fans after that doco, what a bunch of sooky bitches. Lars is a bog average dummer and all round shitmerkin

 

[Mong]

Lol

Thanks for your input

Dont get me wrong.. Harvester's a great song. Which is my point, AJAF is so ridiculously good I can't see how anything from DM is quite there.

Nightmare is f**kin awesome.

I'd have it over a couple of songs from Justice (Shortest Straw and maybe Dyers Eve) and that's with Justice obviously being incredible (not far off Puppets).

The rest of DM, while good, doesn't quite reach the heights of the 80's albums.

 

[adamkungl]

Dyers Eve is like one of my favourite thrash songs of all time lol
Outrageously awesome

 

[Mong]

Agreed 100%

 

[Rod]

I'd take the likes of Whiplash, Battery, Blackened and Damage Inc. over Dyers Eve. Can't really explain why haha, just personal taste I guess. Riff is good, verses aren't my favourite maybe.

I think Puppets is the most consistent of their big three/four albums.

Kill Em All is more rooted in the punk sound in a way, they refined their style from there. I like bits of it, but it is not as memorable.

Ride The Lightning has Escaped and Trapped under Ice which were weak IMO. Fight Fire with Fire isn't great either. Ride The Lightning is a belter though, obviously fade to black, for whom the bell tolls. Love Call of the Ktulu also, trying to learn on guitar.

Disposeable heroes is just about my favourite Metallica song, and the rest of that album is really tight. Only weakish song is maybe Lepar Messiah. I'm not sure it always has the high points of ride the lightning but it is just so solid an album.

AJFA is a bit of a mess with poor production. Too big a gap between the great songs (Blackened, One, To Live is to Die, Dyer's Eve) and stuff like Harvester of Sorrow, Shortest Straw, Frayed Ends of Sanity, Eye of the Beholder. I quite like the title track but it just keeps going and going.

This new song is pretty tight.

Brother showed me this song the other week.

We're so f**ked
Shit out of luck
Hardwired to self-destruct

TooEdgy4me. I can't recall many Met songs having pointless swearing in them like a Limp Bizkit song.

You're in your fifties and don't drink or do drugs anymore lol.

 

[Mong]

Some folk will whinge about anything.

 

[Munky]

Their lifestyle determines their death style

They've always had some pretty cringe worthy lyrics, but yeah, that one kind of ruins the song a bit for me.

The song is probably just to grab everyone's attention in a world where everyone digests things in small packages. Expecting (hoping) this song to be down on the ladder compared to the rest of the album.

 

[Mong]

It's definitely going to be way shorter than most of the others it would seem

It's a bit emo I guess lol

Lol you gotta admit they're some pretty cringey lyrics

 

[The Charlatan]

Their best lyric writing is long behind them.
