New Metallica album leaked

[Crazy_Joe]

Forget what you've heard from it so far, Cyanide/The Day That Never Comes is such a false representation of this album, it's the real deal!

I shall be buying this album when it comes out no worry about that.

[Woogie]

Yeah I saw the torrent but I can't be arsed to download it. Is Unforgiven III better than the last 2?

[Crazy_Joe]

It's better than II but i actually think it's one of the weakest on this album. Seriously The Judas Kiss and Suicide and Redemption, i literally went into my living room and rocked the $%&# out!

Same here

I prefer UFII to 3 though and to the first one.

I already pre ordered this album the second i was able to.

On track 3 so far - Absolutely LOVING it, to be frank.

Not as good as Formation of Damnation (its closest rival I guess?) But still - Damn good so far.

It's bloody incredible is what it is.

Cyanide is 10x better on record - Infact, almost anthemic.

Agreed, i've got it on just now!

All Nightmare Long is pretty good too i think! Some good riffs in there. Nice to see Metallica are back on form.

Its no MOP, but its definatly a step in the right direction.

[SG Thrasher]

All nightmare long is my favourite on the album so far. I've gotta say, I've had my doubts(Like most people) but this is brilliant.

It's sounding good but I really hope the CD isn't clipping as much as these leaked versions hint at.
In MP3 gain every track was clipping at over 101db  :(

As has been recently discussed the modern mastering "fashion" is ruining albums for me (I spent a fair amount of money on HiFi just to have some record exec fu*k it all up for Ipods)

I made the mistake of buying a reasionable pair of headphones (Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 for &42 :) ) and even when the bloody iPod is playing nothing there is so much hiss.

So if the cr@ppy modern mastering is becasue of iPods then damn the record company execs and I hope that somebody fixes your hearing so you will have to suffer like the rest of us

  We have radio to thank for 'brick wall' mastering  :shock:

[phlip]

The Loudness wars started long before personal MP3 players became available, it has only gotten worse since though.
As stated above Radio was the real instigator. Radio can't handle sharp transients so was brick wall limited before broadcast.

I just downloaded this to see what all the fuss is about.. I wouldnt call it amazing because it just sounds like Metallica to me. It's a whole load better than St Anger though, and so far The Day That Never Comes and Cyanide are the shiteeeetest songs on the album. Great tone :) What did they use for the distorted guitars? It just sounds beefy as $%&#.
