Listened to the album. Really really good. All Nightmare Longs probably my favourite track at the moment.

Someone should put *SPOILER ALERT* on the thread title

Haha, no need, I just jumped to the last page to give my own opinion of these songs I've heard.

DO NOT WANT.

I think there could be also something wrong with me, not understanding the possible greatness hidden in these tracks,
but it's just not doing the trick for me.

Na-ah.

Continue.

That track has such a damn catchy chorus!

I have to say "That Was Just Your Life" is probably my favorite at the moment, epic...

im very happy to say that

THE BOYS ARE BACK

I totally hate the fact that they're playing every riff in multiples of 4. So predictable and long-winded...

They're gettin old man, they cant remember as much as before

Hmm. It's good. Some catchy parts and some good thrashy moments, lots of decent groove too.
Doesn't do much for me on the whole, though. I think I'm just getting out of most metal in general, really.
Of course, it could also be the fact that the production is just fucking white noise, crazy clipping 99% of the time. You'd think people would realize by now that a constant brick wall just gets tuned out...

I have 320kbps mp3's of the album and it doesnt clip all that much for me, My Apocalypse is a clip-fest though.

Bitrates don't influence clipping I think.

One rip or the other might make a difference. But there are so many leaks around right now, that has to be a whole bunch of different rips and you're the first one I've heard saying it "doesn't clip all that much".

We'll just have to wait for the final release in a couple of days to see how bad it really is.

As far as I've heard, all rips seem to be more or less the same. The snare is the most obvious; just so goddamn distorted. The Judas Kiss seemed to be the worst as far as clipping goes.

My Apocalypse is by far the clipping king of the album. I really hope that CD quality will be better.

Apparently, the leak is the eventual retail CD. Some French shop sold it 2 weeks early, supposedly.

Actually these are crappy CD rips...supposedly. I guess a French record store put it out on shelves a few days early lol.

Also I think the album kicks ass. Unforgiven III was my least favorite track at first, but on second listen I really dig it now. I think Metallica really reinvented themselves on this album and answered the question the 90's couldn't : "Where did Metallica go?!"

Hate to quote myself, but yea Biert i knew
