It's weird cos Lux Aeterna is greyed out on the album like it can't be played at all, but the single can be
Fantastic album, finished Inamorata just there. Great tune, it'll take them a while to pull that one off live.
Not that it's fast but it's one long tune. Great album, love it!
9pm here... Weird
Don't see it on my one. Must be for those where it's after midnight
It's out on YouTube music
+MP3
Linkage? Went on to Pirate Bay - I think it was the correct site - but couldn't see it listed?
It's on Pirate Bay, FLAC format. Listening to it now.
Quite like Shadows Follow.
I'm on You Must Burn now.
Seems you have to pay for the download on those sites?? Think I'll wait till it's on Spotify?
Yep. Thats it.
...oh i like if darkness had a son, it be good....
Agree with @Wanderer78 above - you won't hear anything ground breaking from Metallica. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the new album as there has been nothing wrong with Hardwired. Death Magnetic also perfectly fine apart from the clipping issue. The band powers along reliably on each of these with records with chugs, gallops and power chords which sit on the pentatonic nodes as well as the odd b5 for good measure. Kirk wahs it up and does that trill-while-depressing-the-whammy lick he seems so fond of these days. Everything crisply recorded.
It's fine. It's fine. It's just that there's nothing that they're doing nowadays that they haven't done before Saint Anger and, frankly, done better and done at a time when it sounded fresher, more impactful and less formulaic. You can put these new songs on in the car and have a good time, but you'll forget about it 5 minutes after stepping out.
everywhere now, pirate bay etc
Not showing up on my Spotify?? Grrrrr
spotify now
i got it on getmetal this morning, havent tried the links on idope, but id imagine theyre working
Not working for me?
two links on idope there, probably loads of other places at this stage
Where else?
ah so so, i think significantly lowered expectations is the only way to approach such albums nowadays, their groundbreaking days are long past them, some nice moments, but id have to agree with some, they really struggle with self editing, some songs are elongated for no reason, but i ll hold off on the slating for now, i need more listens to truly comment....
Any good?
apparently....
anyone find it?
edit: tis on getmetal folks, just listening now
edit: tis starting to pop up else where now....
i like the idea of them buying the record factory, nice idea
Cheers
Yeah,it'll be available on all streaming platforms first thing Friday.
Probably a dumb question, but will the album be available on Spotify on Friday too?
There is a site called hasitleaked.com.
Apparently albums that leak are mentioned there quick sharp. Nothing there yet.
Read some reviews though, some giving the album 8 out of 10...5 out of 10.
Looking forward to it regardless though. It won't be like the old stuff naturally. The 11 minute long track I'm looking forward to hearing. I hear the "you must burn!" track is meant to be a belter.
Love the spectacle of listening to a new Metallica for the first time. Wish they'd bring out something new more than every 5 to 8 years.
These days the record companies bring the reviewers to an office to listen to it,rare that copies are sent out and increase the risk of it leaking. It'll start being shipped to shops next week so it'll leak by midweek at the latest I reckon.
from glancing at some of the reviews, i get the idea some have full access to the whole album, i could be wrong though
Maybe it hasn't leaked because they are kinda put out small bits and pieces as they go?
