The short clip from 2:07 onwards in the album trailer at least sounds a bit more interesting than the lead single. I don't know though. A major problem with Metallica in my opinion is that they tend to write excessively bloated songs these days. The upcoming album is 80 minutes, 2 discs, 6 tracks per disc. Do the math...
I'm fine with other bands writing long songs, but metallica don't know what to do with those extra minutes any more except just play all the riffs 4 times more than necessary and add a ton of hamfisted transitions.
