The Day that Never Comes.

Doesn't sound too bad. See for yourself. Another song Cyanide, is on their myspace.

 

[masterofpuppets]

Yep. They're back FOR SURE. I'm blown away by how much of an improvement this is on load/reload/st.anger.

This is supposed to be the most low key song on the whole album....


NEED!

 

[Blackfang]

yeah i agree. They are getting back. im also glad theyre back to original E tuning. they needed that.

Now that I've gotten a chance to get home and d/l the single (legally. Thanks, Mission:Metallica) I've got a better ear on it now.

Holy brutal riffage batman! The chorus and especially the verses are chilling, but after the bridge is incredible.
The lyrics are great. I could do without the "love is a four letter word" in the bridge but it works overall.
James' voice is the best I've heard it be in years. No squeaks at the end of a note, no weird screams like St.Anger. He's staying in his limits thankfully.
Robs bass playing makes the verses.
Lars sounds like Lars... BUT WITH A SNARE THANK GOD.
Kirks solo is awesome. There's no other way to put it
And the dueling lead.... I think I just crapped my pants.....

There's been a saying for years that either Metallica lost what they had after Justice or Bob Rock/Elekrta had them by the youknowwhats. I think we know what the answer to that is now.

And this is just the single

 

[!Woodstock!]

Very good.

 

[Newman]

this song is just amazing!!!!!! reminds me alot of one, wiht the way they have the clean gyuitar for the verse, then go to the distortion for the chorus and then have the heavy end to the song with a really amazing solo in it

 

[Tangerine]

Day that never comes is pretty good. It doesn't have the incredible flow of their 80s work, so it remains a step below. Still, definately the best since at least the Black Album, or more likely Justice.

Cyanide is far better than the version from Youtube, for obvious reasons. While a simpler song than the first, it stays consistent and on track, and so is probably more successful. Bottom line, I'm looking forward the new album, which I haven't for a Metallica album in a long time.

 

[masterofpuppets]

LOL I just noticed the thing below your sig, woody. Hahahaha.

Tangerine beat me to a point I was going to make. My only gripe against the song is there's little flow from the last chorus to the bridge and on. It's just riff after riff after riff. I haven't made my mind up yet on whether that's good or bad. It goes from the melodic to the BRUTAL at the drop of a hat.

 

[!Woodstock!]

Yeah, I just found that today and I was like, "that needs to be known"

 

[Blackfang]

Yeah masterofpuppets i agree with everything your saying.

-FINALLY HAS A SNARE
-KIRK FINALLY SOLOS
-James doesnt do the lazy pitch squeeks.
-the beginning sounds melodic like a mix of to live is to die and call of ktulu.

Cant wait for the album =)

 

[Newman]

I find this to be pretty funny, any one who knows at least a little about metallica will find this funny

 

[The Shape]

I really dig this song.

Born to push you around
You better just stay down
You put away
He hits the flesh
You hit the ground
Mouth so fulls of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them close
Keep praying
Just keep waiting

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
No the sunshine never comes

Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hiding yourself
Crawling yourself
You'll have your time
God I'll make them pay
Take it back one day
I'll end this day
I'll spread the color on this grave(?)

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
No the sunshine never comes

Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here
Love is a four letter word
Here in the prison
I suffer this no longer
I put it into
This I swear!
This I swear!
The sun will shine
This I swear!
This I swear!
This I swear!​

This is classic Hetfield. The lyrics are vague enough for you to draw your own meaning. No "tick tock" crap.
