You've got to be kidding.....what do you prefer, St. Anger?

No, but the comparison is also lost. I specified "this album" meaning so far from what I've heard off of Death Magnetic I find My Apocalypse to be the worst. None of it has really impressed me yet, but The Day That Never Comes at least has a halfway decent solo. The reason none of it has really impressed me is because the drums are always either underwhelming or too much, and it takes away a lot of the feel from the riffs. Also, My Apocalypse is poorly put together, the riffs seem to jump around sloppily as opposed to flowing into one another. Its a train wreck of decent ideas.

As far as St.Anger, I'd consider it Metallica's worst release to date.

The solo in The Day That Never Comes jumps around.......My Apocalypse just seems like it fits in well with the song.

I will agree with one thing.
When I heard the single for the very first time, my first thought was..."Man, they have those drums waaayy too hot in the mix." I think it would be better toned down a bit, but I love what I've heard so far.

Here's a 10 song preview.

Still, My Apocalypse seems the most convincing and that's the last track :(
Wasn't all that bad though overall.

The second song sounds like it'll be very good. Atleast music wise.

schweeeet

You fucking tease. I really want them to make a kick arse album and give a big two fingered salute to the doubters. I have got my disappointed pill ready with my glass of scotch.

All i've found is a blog in the last half hour saying 'stay tuned tonight'.
Teases indeed!

Make sure you can take it with alcohol, man. I took a distraught pill with a bottle of whine and ended up far too depressed to finish it.

Luke did u catch the bbc2 doc on sunday night about 'tallica?
