Not feeling ManUnkind. Seems like a song that would go well on the radio though I suppose.
Digging Confusion. Maybe a little on the longside for me, but overall good.
Dream No More Ill keep trying. But much like ManUnkind, it still hasnt clicked with me.
The release of videos is pretty cool. Reminds me of the scavenger hunt thing they did with St Anger prior to its release with the videos of them playing the songs in studio that released with the CD.

Your either referring to the guy who literally covered St. Anger, thus making it "sound" better.
Or the Mobius stuff for DM, which, lets be honest, is still brick walled and shitty. But less shitty than the album.
Although I never got the hate for St. Anger's sound in terms of production quality. Its clearly a (weird) choice they made, not poorly produced like DM.
Edit: Yeah, that guy is replaying all the instruments, of course its going to sound different.

He didn't fix it, he just replayed it (with another guy doing the vocals) and it sounds better than the album. Ricker posted the link.

I like that the videos are affordably made
Haha the intro... For a second there I thought they would do the whole video facing the wrong way lol
I'm surprised the Guitar Hero version of DM isn't more well known. It's better mastered and is closer to HtSD (although not quite as good in my opinion). My roommate in college hooked me up with this version and it's the only one I've listened to until recently.
Yeah. That's what I listen to. Leave it to Metallica to release an album you're better off pirating. I figure I bought the DLC for the game, anyway. iTunes has a "Mastered for iTunes" version that's supposed to be improved over the CD release as well.

So, how are first time listeners liking the new songs?

They did do a slight tweaking with the master for iTunes to get the Mastered for iTunes label. Sounds very much improved. Then they released it in their store (along with their back catalog) at compressed and lossless bitrates.
PM for details.
The original mix was trash, only sounds good with the speaker system inside a car. Which is how they apparently listened to it while on tour.

Personally, I think this is some of their best work they have put out in a looooooong time. And I enjoyed pretty much every album they've put out.
It's funny how the Internet generation (Gen Y?) whinge about the production quality of Death Magnetic when Justice has always been fucken terrible, probably hands down the worst imo. But back then 28 yrs ago no one really complained about production quality, they just said it was too "droney". Now people say how bad DM is. Personally I thought it was the best album since Justice, but then I'm old old old school. ;-)
it feels like a hybrid of their 80s and 90s sound minus the heavy pop sound that showed up in the mid-later 90s (like their cover of Whiskey in a Jar)
it sounds like this band is comfortable in their own skin again, is the best way to describe it
It was sad that Rock Band didn't get more Metallica, their version of .. And Justice for All is super clean up and clear.
Lars put his drums on the maximum volume possible, it clips all the time. At least in AJFA there's no clipping
Kinda fitting avatar.

Lol I may actually use that horse as the avatar, maybe...
Oh shit, that reminds me I'll have to make a new thread for the album on Friday

That was a pretty intense video.

would it be anticlimactic if it's just behind the scenes videos with the guys hanging out and rehearsing the song and doing multiple takes of riffs and beats and stuff?
Old men at Guitar Center working on Spit Out the Bone.

I mean, we could just keep using this one. Ask a mod to edit the title

Yeah that'll suck, but I feel like we already got a ton of performance videos. I'm hoping/expecting another narrative one.
That would be very anticlimactic based on the past few videos. It would be amusing to see them show up to a Guitar Center and play the song.

I hope there's killer robots that take over a Guitar Center for the Spit Out the Bone video.

AM I SAVAGE?
My tinea must hide that because I have no idea what clipping is. All I know is that DM is my most listened to album since pre Black albums.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Am I Savage until the video dropped. That 4:20 mark....heavy AF.
I'm really loving what they are doing with this - 12 fucking videos! It's awesome!
