On Youtube, from their Ozzfest gig:

Starts 15 seconds in..

All I can really say is...

Gant sound quality on that video.

This one has better quality on it. I like it anyway.
I hear a cross between Justice, Black album and Load. But i like load and the odd one or two from Reload.

It sounds alright, it's pretty shit in some places but I'm enjoying it.

Cough, metallica thread, cough.

I thought it was ok. That makes it better than anything they've produced in 15 or so years.

Whilst the above post is correct, that doesn't change the fact that the song still sucks more dick than Lar Ulrich.

Hehe that rhymes!!!

Was fairly bland, not really sure what they are aiming for.

Maybe a bit of everything, which is probably why it's a bit of a bland mixture of all things, and not one focussed joy. Still think it's alright though.

Yeah it wasn't terrible, but that is as about as far as i could go.

I didn't think it was terrible, but I wasn't really sure what was going on either.

I'll reserve judgement until I hear a clean version, full of piratey joy.

Soundboard recording. Very nice.

Hmmmmm, that is a bit clean even for a soundboard recording, methinks that has been messed with a bit. However, now hearing it properly for the first time, i have to ask why they are still insisting on the silly drum stutters and stuff. The solo was also terrible. I have to say it is an improvement on the above live vid, but if this is how the LP is gonna sound, then its gonna be just what i expected, not what id hoped.

Well, I just listened to it for the first time and after two minutes I got my guitar out, started the track again and learned the first three riffs in under five minutes.
There used to be a time when I listened to a Metallica riff and wondered how the hell they played it, but this was just so... lazy.
And also, stealing/reinventing parts of Blackened for it? Final proof that the ideas have run dry.
All that said, it still hugely pisses on everything from St. Anger.
