I'll start it with quotes from Large Oilrig in this week's NME.

NME: What's it sounding like?
LO: It sounds very lively, very energetic, very heavy metal. It's got very lively, raw playing, but it still sounds sonically great: it's big, it's fat and it's fucking lively.

NME: Would you say it's a return to the classic Metallica sound rather than that of 'St.Anger'?
LO: Yes, if 'classic' means those records from back in the day. 'St.Anger' was more of an experiment we had to do for our own sanity, this is more in tune with the stuff we did in the '80s.

I think that is bollocks, i bet they are going to sound like trivium.

And on that day will go murder a camp full of scouts.

I think it will be average at best but I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want them to prove me wrong.

Same, i would love for them to sound like old Megadeth personally. But i think the chances are not in my favour.

That band cannot write riffs any more. They have lost their purpose and should crawl under someone's house to die.

If REM can do it...

If this is another shit lp then they really do need to knock it on the head. If it is a blast from the past in style, then i will show my arse in woolies window. I will not be pre-ordering a copy.

Expect to be held to that.

Tenner bets it sucks dick.

It's gonna be rubbish, which is a shame. Metallica is dead, long life milk.

When you watch Some Kind of Monster and see Lars selling his art collection and Hetfield being a complete petty cock over the kitchen (or something like that) you realise that while they sit in their multi million dollar studio/offices they have nothing left to say because they just ain't angry about anything important...

Then again there has been a war and they've got rid of Bob Rock so there is some hope...

Yeh but last time they got angry was making St Anger..

That wasn't anger, that was 'give me a hug because my dad told me off 30 years ago' shit.

Since they're old and rich, I think they're getting angry at more and more retarded things, like Napster or thinking some band ripped off one of their riffs. They probably no longer care about anything important. Suckahs.

Of no interest.
