I can't say that I hated it... But I didn't love it. My first comment about the song was, "well Kirk's playing hasn't changed". The second comment about the song was something along the lines of "Wow, James went EMO".

Overall the song feels like they really did string bits of songs from old albums together and have James "sing" over them.

I know that I would have liked the song better if they got the tone right, which I think is one place where this song fails miserably. The tone has this "almost, but not quite" feel to it throughout the whole song, it's just weak.

The song "Cyanide" gave me hope, but this.... song.... man...

We don't. Anthrax are effectively dead since their habit of selling out their singers finally caught up to them.

Oh, they'll be back, you can count on that, besides they were still rocking LONG after Metallica started sucking.

And Slayer? They suck nearly as bad as Metallica now.

Uhm, sure, *lol*, soon as Slayer does "Nothing Else Matters" or some other pussy shit like that, I might agree with you. Slayer has been Slayer since the time they came into existence.

I still don't recall them ever selling out.

Anthrax won't be back - they've sold out worse than even Metallica with the way they treated Bush. I was a die hard Thrax fan until they fucked that guy over, and now they have some crappy Bush soundalike doing vocals? Fuck 'em.
Slayer didn't sell out, but they stopped writing good songs years ago. I'd rather listen to Vader's "The Beast" than any Slayer album of the past 10 years or so. They also have a horrible guitar tone now, I don't know what the problem is with that, but they sound like shit now.

I have no problem with bands "selling out" to do stuff like "Nothing Else Matters". I love that song - it's a great SONG.
I have a problem with good bands writing shite songs. Metallica and Slayer don't write good songs any more, and Anthrax can go fuck themselves.

Haha the backing to one of the random solos IS Motorbreath.

Says the guy who also said :

Wattadouche!

[robfromthedeep]

The thing with Slayer is... yeah they haven't sold out etc etc. BUT they haven't moved on, i think its good for bands to evolve and progress, otherwise it would just be boring.

Yes! Only really heavy stuff is good! How old are you?! 14? Did you not see my avatar?! I like more than just heavy metal! Most people over 14 do! You musta been on this board since you were 9 years old!

Now you're old enough, and adolescent enough, to hate anything other than thrash metal! Yay! I was like that 17 years ago too, it's a right laugh!

What are you ladies doing? Wipe the load and reload off your chins and play nice!

[thebeggar]

Good point

As was stated earlier bands like Testament can still put out good heavy thrashy music why can't Metallica. Thing is, this album will still sell millions. There's probably even people out there who for them will be the first Metallica album they'll buy. They will think this shit is acceptable. Then they will start forming bands who will try to play music influenced by this album. The downward spiral has well and truly begun........

As far as I'm concerned, anyone that loves Metallicas modern shit IS a fanboy. And how come you call me Scottish like it's an insult? What have any of you Belgian fuckers ever done for ANYONE? Nothin for nobody. You should be thanking me, personally, for saving you assholes from the Nazis!

Uhm not to stop the pissing contest as it's amusing... but uhm Belgian Ale... (please keep in mind, i like in the US where bud and coors are the most popular beers.... and uhm. iew.)



*ducks for cover now*

Cool. Try not to die. :ROTF:

[Spivonious]

Did someone say Slayer is still metal? Is that why all of the emos wear their shirts?

Haven't heard the new Testament, but of the big four (Met, Deth, Anthrax, Slayer) only one is still metal, and it took them a while to get back there.
