WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE NEW METALLICA SONG
Friday, August 22nd, 2008 at 12:54pm by Vince Neilstein
Yesterday was a day we’ve all been waiting for for a very, very long time — fans the world over got a taste of the new record from the most popular metal band of all time. Axl weighed in with his thoughts yesterday, and I completely agree with what he said. And here’s the early skinny on what other blog hacks like us are saying about the new Metallica song, “The Day That Never Comes.”
- Idolator.com (Maura Johnston): “Something doesn’t feel right here. And by ‘doesn’t feel right’ I mean ’sorta gives the impression of a band becoming its own cover band.’”
- NoneLouder.com (Iann Robinson): “‘The Day That Never Comes’ might be James singing about waiting for inspiration to write and record a great album. This is a step above St. Anger in that it’s not completely a suck job but it is more of the mediocrity we’ve come to expect for ‘Tallica.”
- MetalMartyr.com (Scott Wharton): “If you want to hear something that sounds better than St Anger, go listen to a garbage disposal sucking down 40 pounds of rotten cabbage. But seriously, this really isn’t that bad. At times it sounds as if they are trying and sometimes trying to [sic] hard. I’ll wait for the rest of the album to make any strict judgement [sic] calls.”
- Stereogum (Amrit): “As they’ve made unavoidably clear, Death Magnetic Metallica is all about bringing it back to the classic era. Clocking in at 7:56, you’d think this was the track to make good on that. And you’d be right! For the last three minutes. And if ‘bringing it back’ means ‘rewriting old songs.’”
- AncientScripts: “Sounds like a cross between old school Metallica (pre-1991) and Load-era stuff. Not too shabby. Pretty good, if it’s 1991.”
Everyone seems to be in agreement on one thing: overwhelming mediocrity. Sigh.
-VN
I feel that no matter what the song sounded like, it would not have received any kind of praise. Is the new song great? No, not when you compare it to their earlier songs, but really I think people need to leave those songs in the past. Those albums are always there to be listened to.
Yea but these are coming from reviewers that really have no mark in the industry…like no one wouldn’t buy ‘Death Magnetic’ because of what these guys said. Most of them probably live with their parents blasting ‘The Showdown’ or something else homoerotic and being screamed at by their mommys while they are on their stupid fucking blogs saying how bad the song is but all the while wishing they knew how to play and write music themselves but cant because they have a tough enough time writing their stupid fucking blogs that songs are just too much of a stretch. Everyone of those reviewers needs to find the Metallica building and jump off of it onto the concrete, Fags…
Oh, my God… how did you know???
Wow. Does this site try to get the worst reviews on anything they don’t like personally? First with that Fred Durst movie, and now with this. We get it, you are biased fools who skip the reviews that don’t share your sentiment so you can try to further prove why your opinion is the right one. Well, it’s called opinion for a reason. So next time, why don’t you not just take small excerpts from articles you agree with.
yeah, I agree with the guys above. Those sites are second rate. and it’s bullshit how much you expect from this band. this new song is VERY solid in my opinion, and anyone who’s heard it (3 buddies from work and my girlfriend) have all really enjoyed it. your standards for metallica are ridiculous, and I guarantee if anyone else wrote this song you’d say you liked it. I used to like this site, but not since you guys started acting like total dicks trying to shove your opinions in peoples faces using second rate websites to agree with you. I think Axl and Vince might be douchebags.
I think the new song kicks ass, can’t stop listening to it. Can’t believe Metallica is actually making their comeback. Welcome back, guys!
“Everyone seems to be in agreement on one thing: overwhelming mediocrity. Sigh.”
Um…what?! Who is everyone, first of all, a couple of hack websites? Because I’ve heard only good things from everyone I know about both new Metallica songs, and I for one think they are a real return to form. And from the comments above, is it fair of me to say that “Everyone seems to be in agreement on one thing: MetalSucks is overwhelmingly ignorant. Sigh.”? Would that be fair you hacks?
And another thing, why do you have to go and bust Fred Durs’ Balls just because you don’t like him personally? Have you seen his new movie? Don’t fucking pass ignorant judgment on something you know nothing about, hacks.
the song kicks ass. end of story.
METALLICA PWNS YOU, ACCEPT IT! YES, ACCEPT THE METALLICA!!
Hmm…wonder what the trend is with you guys bashing things you don’t like for your own personal reasons? Two posts back to back, seems like you’re being a little harsh on Metallica AND Durst. What gives.
P.S. I happen to like the new Metallica. Best stuff in 20 years.
This website should take it’s halfassed opinions and shove them up their asses and then shit them into their own mouths and choke. Would anything Metallica did have been enough for you? Assholes. I hope you both burn in hell axl and vince.
@ Dodo: Because I haven’t seen a single positive review of this song posted anywhere.
haha, nothing like a good metallica post to bring out the people who never post… gee, i’m shocked that “I am evil” and “cyanide!” like the new metallica. it’s sad when a band gives you mediocrity and fans shit their collective pants because it’s better than st. anger. well, if st. anger is your yard stick of awesome, you got problems.
PS, the distortion on the new songs blows.
Hahaha love hearin hate on the site, but it’s justified. I turned on the radio yesterday during the last minutes of “Day” and was blown away before learning it was metallica. I’LL SPLATTER COLOR ON THIS GRAVE!!
@ vince: heres a positive review for you: The new Metallica is killer! Why don’t you post that? My review has about as much merit as the ones you used to prove you point.
hey sultry, same thing happened to me too man! turned on the radio and was hearing that whole instrumental part at the second halve of the song and started rockin out like crazy in my car, had no idea who it was or anything!! and then the song stops and she goes, “THat was brand new Metallica” and I was like “holy shit that was sick!!!”
@ Vince: I am going to give you a heavy metal history lesson right here…ready? Take a look at the reviews for the album entitled “Black Sabbath” by a band named “Black Sabbath”(you have heard of them right??) and let me know what some of the reviews you find. Then compare those publications to the useless web bull shit reviewers you listen to and let me know what you get. Until then continue to have fucking Dallas Coyle jack you off for quarters…asshole
Let me just say one thing in response to the people who “didn’t like Day That Never Comes” (I put this in quotations because i dont believe its possible that theres people who didnt like it.): METALLICA IS BACK. suck it, haters. And to the fucking goon who says my “yardstick by which I measure this is St Anger,” no it’s really not. My yarstick by which i measure the new tallica is the entire spectrum of heavy metal, of which this falls under the category of “FUCKING SICK.” THIS I SWEAR! THIS I SWEAR! THIS! I! SWEARRR!!!!!!
Vince: I enjoy the site, but some of the posters do seem to have a point. You guys have a tendency to jump on anything Metallica does. If Lars said it was day, you would say it was night just to be spiteful.
BTW: I don’t think the song is that bad. Sure, it’s a bit of a rehash (very similar to One, with the first few minutes sounding very similar to something from Load), but that’s their sound. You didn’t expect them to completely reinvent themselves. Like it or not, they changed musically during the Load/Reload era, and that sound is part of the band now.
We’ll see how the rest of the album turns out. I have hopes it’s going to be pretty good (not a classic, no, but good).
“Until then continue to have fucking Dallas Coyle jack you off for quarters”
Hahaha fucking classic!! Speaking of quarters, here’s my two cents (if anyone even cares):
Metallica is back. End of story. Hey vince, why don’t you go listen to the new ‘Tallica one more time with a fresh set of ears, and then you may just realize how excellent it is. Fucking douchebag.
Let’s see:
~~Metallica will always suck. Discuss. Check!
~~Disturbed has a “rad” video, but it’s Disturbed so it sucks. Check!
~~Fred Durst is the worst human ever to walk the planet, except for any member
of Korn. Check!
~~Arsis or Dillinger have a new album and because they’re obscure noise bands they
must be great albums. Check!
Just another day the the Metalsucks Mansion.
Face it. There may never be another …and Justice For All. Cliff Burton is deam. Jason Newstead realized money isnt everything and now plays in Voivod (his other dream job outside of Metallica.) Dont like Death Magnetic? Save your money, wait for the new Mastodon.
Haha Sammy, so right on about this website. Whoever runs this site are morons who never stop talking about the same shit.
Vince, you’re a cunt. This song is awesome. Don’t know why anyone would bash it unless they really just have some kind of deep rooted hate for this band. But that’s their problem, right? Go fuck yourself, naysayers. This will be THE album of 08.
I find it pretty funny that you guys rip into almost every band in some way on Metalsucks, even just a little. It’s just funny to read and poke fun at those musicians that take themselves a bit too seriously.
I like how you just post whatever and let people have at it. Posters gotta remember, this is a blog, and these guys can say whatever the fuck they want. But so can you in the comments, thus the beauty of this thing called “Blogging”. Some people should really quit whining about how others don’t agree with their fanatic-ness, and have a chuckle with the rest of us for fuck sakes! Or at least make a valid argument instead of calling people dick-lickers ‘n stuff. Although it is funny to call someone a dick-licker or what have you, as I laugh at comments like that as well (Some people just have great comedic timing)..
It’s all in good fun anyways, especially since, you know, music is supposed to be so serious and all.. duhhhhhhhhh
Oh yeah I liked the song, it was alright. I’ll probably listen to the record once when it comes out and put it on the shelf, I’ll revisit everytime I feel like Metallica deserve some love. But there are better bands than Metallica to spend my time with these days anyways, No offense. Pass the torche.
Horns
@ Sammy: I know your just makeing a point but dont lump amatures like Arsis in with The Dillinger Escape Plan. Remind me again, have Arsis ever been on Charlie Rose? They ever had national exporure outside of MTV2? Ever play Late Night With Conan O’brian? Ballet and Metal DONT mix. Dillinger, obscure? Now whos sounding like Metalsucks? Think before posting.
I love that a lot of posters are calling Vince an idiot for just putting his opinion up about the new Metallica.
He didn’t like it. It’s his friggin blog, so he’s entitled to write that.
I listened to the song, and I posted yesterday that it was OK. But not the greatest song ever, like some people in these comments seem to think it might be.
I actually happen to like this song and I think it’s wrong of anyone to cite some bullshit sources trying to prove why their right. I like what the poster above said about his review holding as much water as yours. It’s fuckin true.
COMMENTERS >>> VINCE…
Sorry man, but they’re right…The Day That Never Comes has redeemed Metallica. I was the biggest critic of all….but I love this song.
METALLICA “DEATH MAGNETIC” FTW
I think the song’s good, not great. I will buy this album, I will listen to it, and I will like it. This i swear this i swear! Vince can suck a cock if he’s just gonna sit around bashing Tallica 24/7. You too, AXL.
Just wait till next week, and then it will be a Slipknot war.
The song is really quite average. to break it down; the beginning is slow, melodic, and similar to fade to black/one, because they sat down and said, “well, we need to write songs like the ones we know people will like”. Right down to how kirk is soloing over the mellow part. That’s fine, kinda dull, but slightly more interesting than anything they’ve done lately. Next, Lars has got to be the most boring ass drummer on the planet. Like this song or not, there could have been a goddamn drum machine doing what lars was on this tune. My major beef is the heavy part… it sounds so tacked on and labored; no flow like fade/one/sanitarium have; if all it takes for you to be happy is metallica playing fast, then i’m sure you’re going to love this album. playing fast, however, does not equate to “great” or “them being back”. The song reeks of them trying to recapture something. I don’t think they pull it off.
Don’t get me wrong. I like Vince, Axl and Metalsucks. Yeah, they’re dumbasses and morons sometimes, and hypocritical, but I still like them.
As for calling DEP obscure, except for very big metal fans, yeah they’re obscure. Ask the next 100 random people you see if they know who Metallica (or hell, even Seether) are, and then ask if they know who DEP are. Compare the results. Just because you own everything they’ve recorded doesn’t make them any less obscure, late night TV talk appearances or not.
Here is every fanboys review of The Day That Never Comes: “It’s Metallica, so it’s got to kick ass and all u haterz can find somethin else 2 listen 2.”
Seriously, it’s not that bad, it’s not that great. It could be better, it could be worse. People don;t need to listen to the critics, they can listen to it themselves and say the same damn thing as you can see in the comments from the original post about the single. Perhaps if it wasn;t for all the fuckin fanboys hanging from the bands nuts, they would actually write a respectable song instead of just thinking they are because you praise them when they are shitty.
You don’t say “Good boy” to your dog when he shits on the floor, you smack him with a news paper and rub his fuckin nose in it! Sooner or later he will stop shitting on the floor…or bite your face off…
Wow! Just wow! I used to be one of the biggest Metallica fans on the planet. I can’t tell you how many albums I have bought repeatedly because I wore them out or how many T-shirts or how many concerts I have been to, so I think I have at least paid for the right to say that Metaliica is no longer a band that I enjoy listening to. These new songs are flat out boring and barely better than St. Anger! There is just so much new metal out there that is not only fuckin’ awesome, but also that is pushing metal past the boundries that Metallica plays by, to waste my time listening to the latest failure offered by Metallica. I really think that if you put these songs up against anything by After the Burial, Whitechapel, The Acacia Strain, or even Scar Symmetry, you would see how far behind Metallica has fallen in terms of quality. I know it is not because they have been around forever and they have just run out of good metal, just check out Slayer’s latest album to see how some crusty old fucks can still bring it. I just don’t get how they could screw up with Rick Rubin guiding them, unless they wouldn’t allow him to. The only answer is for them to get a producer who does’t sugar coat aything and tells them like it is, like Lamb of God’s last producer, whose name escaes me. They should head back into the studio immediately and work towards the redemption of Metallica. Death Pathetic!
@ metalmartyr.com
No Scott, thats not what we want. We just find it ironic that hacks like you think you have the RIGHT to call yourselves representatives of the Heavy metal press…you fucking assholes think ur opinions mean more than others and then you post those opinions on each others’ fucking websites.
PS if ur dog is shitting on the floor it means u were too fat and lazy to walk him in the first place, instead u sit there look at the shit and probably say “Mine’s better”.
Keep in mind, no major outlet is going to write a review of ONE SONG. For that matter, no music site should be reviewing ONE SONG to begin with. It’s pretty fucking stupid. I could listen to one song from Priest’s Nostradamus and write a great review. I could listen to another and conclude it’s incredibly boring. Only after listening to the whole thing, more than once, could I conclude that I find it incredibly boring.
But ONE SONG? C’mon guys (and gals), aren’t we getting ahead of ourselves? This song neither redeems Metallica NOR condemns them to the rehash/has-been pile.
“Critics”???!!! HAHAHAHAHAhAhA. Good one. Yeah, MetalMartyr.com is one critic I really rely on HAHAHAhA this site is fucking joke METALLICA WILL KICK YOUR ASSES COME SEPT 12. Go fuck your mothers, vince and axl fuck them up their rotting assholes.
@John.Obviously you’ve never had a puppy before, John. And if you had a clue you would know that I’m not fat, nor lazy. People are going to post their opinion weather it’s on their own blog or someone elses. I just think this song is o.k. and as I said, I’ll wait for the entire album before I make any more calls on it.
@tmack, well said.
@Metalmartyr.com. Hey Scott, Ive had a puppy before same rule apply WALK THE FUCKING DOG!! And no you might not be fat and lazy but obviously you are an illiterate prick(i.e.”weather”) which is ironic because you claim to be a blogger/metal columnist. And you are right opinions are like assholes, they stink but unfortunately just like your ‘puppy’, you “critics” need to have your collective noses smacked with a rolled up newspaper whenever you decide to take a shit on this site…and as for the other ‘puppies’(Vince and Axl) they need to be taken straight to the pound to be put down.
Now sit boy…sit! Good dog…
(yawns after listening to the single many times to find out the truth behind the critisms…)
Slightly illiterate, thank you.
All puppies shit on the floor WHETHER you walk them or not (I don’t have any pets, they all died because I’m too fat and lazy to feed them in my parents basement).
And you call us hacks and say our opinions don’t mean shit and that our sites blow…but you keep coming back to this one, don’t you?
The truth hurts…here’s a vicodin.
Sammy: Bad choice in useing Metallica as an example comparison to Dillinger. Remember, Metallica are international superstars, much like Kiss. I do get your point but TDEP are a bit of a big deal. Arsis, arent really. thats all I was trying to point out. Though yeah, ill admit im a bit of a Dillinger fanboy. Face facts though, they absolutely smoke a lot of other metal bands musically.
@ The Metal Nerd
Just so we are clear:
Metallica > TDEP
Kiss>TDEP
Arsis> TDEP
Alot of other bands musically> TDEP
Anyone who wastes this much time arguing over Metallica must have nothing else to do.Here is the bottom line:
-Lars still sucks.
-They paid Rick Rubin a shit load of money to apparently lay on a couch and just tell them what he thought.
-He apparently said everything after the Black Album was shit, go back and fix it.
-Metallica will never be as good as they were in the 80’s EVER AGAIN!
-Based on what we’ve heard, these guys have written a record that at least gives us a reason to still want to follow them for another 8 years before the next record comes out.
-Axl and Vince seem to be taking a lot of shit this fine Friday….apparently from people who aren’t really so much that active with the site anyways and probably shouldn’t be here.
-Angry people should stop coming here.There is a reason Metalsucks is still on my bookmarks toolbar.
For the record, I liked the fucking song, but I don’t post obnoxious comments telling people to eat my wang and shit.Why?Because Metallica are a mediocre band at this stage in the game.If the early groundwork was not so impressive, these guys would be playing at Mulcahy’s 3 times a year, and not Nassau Colliseum.
And by the way Sammy, for the record, Disturbed do suck, they had one decent album and put it out again 3 more times over the course of 8 years.They copied everything all the way down to David Draiman’s stupid fucking “wahah-oh-oow-ah wah” noises.In 2001 I liked Limp Bizkit, and even I was like “Wow, this is getting really fucking obnoxious.”The dude went on Howard Stern and cried about his one night stand with Britney Spears, then wrote and album about it,C’mon.And Arsis….awesome.Saw em live a few months back.I was a fan by the second song.
Lastly, no one ever argues this much over Megadeth songs, or waits this long for new Megadeth, further proving that Mustaine owns Metallica….and all of us as well.
I like Sammy’s designation of Arsis and DEP as “obscure noise bands,” purposefully trying to sound like a moron, or just a moron in real life?
As far as metallica goes, if you are a fan of load/reload then you will most likely like their new stuff. If you are a fan of kill em all – ride the lightning or tba, singers that aren’t terrible and drummers that know how to keep time then you probably wont like it. It’s that simple. If you just pretend like st. anger never happened then this album is completely unsurprising.
Also, if so many of you hate the site and disagree with the worthless reviews then WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WASTING YOUR TIME READING AND COMMENTING ON IT FOR? Find a website with people that review music you like such as http://www.musicfortoughguys.com or http://www.iwouldblowdaviddraiman.com.
Oh, and one more thing, THE NEW METALLICA SONGS SUCK FAGS!
Turned off mediplayuer after 1.36 secs, and started spinning the blackening.
@dthrasher
The New Metallica Song> DEP
Load/Reload Metallica> DEP
Kill em all/Ride the lightning>DEP
St. Anger> DEP
Arsis > DEP
now roll over…
The song is good, period. Not groundbreaking or revolutionary. People had WAY too high expectations at this ones. The standards of heavyness has changed so much with the popularization of metalcore and the gothemburg death metal wave….Metallica is not the meanest band of the world- It’s like go back in time, find the caveman that invented the wheel and ask him to redo it.The instrumental in the last part of the song is great, and it’s good to hear Kirk soloing again and not using his wah pedal for once. This is supposed to be the most downbeat track in the album….so I’ll wait to listen to the whole thing. by the way, I now LOVE Cyanide. It has an awesome groove, and a better drumming by Lars.

But I’m not Sammy! Unless, that is, that I am…..
I’m not 100% sure why people come to this site to bitch about how the site is being run. Biased opinions are still opinions and everyone is still entitled to forming and expressing them as they feel fit. Maybe it’s a little hypocritical of me to say that seeing as the lame asses I mentioned earlier are merely expressing their opinions, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fucking stupid of them to bitch.
This is one of few sites that open minded metal heads can come to.
That said… new Metallica = meh.
I’m still on the “Excited for the new album” band wagon though.
@john: i totally agree with, im not a dep fan in the slightest, i was just laughing about the obscure noise band tag.
and whoever that dude is that axl owned, wow….
Sorry you whiney DEP cocklickers. Semi-obscure, somewhat known by a certain segment of the metal “community”, sort of death-prog-metal band Dillinger Escape Plan. Is that better? My point was, you low-IQ morons, is that they’re not widely well known.
Sammy, just tell the people your a closeted Dillinger fan, and they’ll stop.Even if it is not true.Then the drones will stop lmao.
So you dont dig Dillinger. Big whoop. Your tastes against mine. Yeah, theres a slew of bands out there more famous. As for the hole Ki$$ & Metallica being greater than The Dillinger Escape Plan? 1: Ki$$? Do we live in the 1970s still? Really? You honestly still care about them? 2: Metallica, by all our compairitive standards havent been actually metal since 1988. Expecially after hearing The Day That Never Comes. Come On..and im going to fan the flames and say this. I havent heard any of you touting your own bands. Can any of you, ANY of you play even close to Ben Weinmans, or even Gil Sharones level? I know I cant. Prove me wrong.
I figured the same person was posting under several different names. They’d blow Lars if given the proper oppurtunity but you know what I say, kids… hey can blow me! Get a fucking life ass hat.
lmao. i just realized something. doesnt the intro like the VERY start resemble Joe Satriani-Chords of Life? no seriously listen to it the intro sounds just liike The Day That Never Comes intro. the very start o.o!
Ha Axl!
Nice one on tracking the IPs.
That single poster is probably Lars himself, trolling for potential fans to sue next.

“# IAM EVIL Says:
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:16 pm
I think the new song kicks ass, can’t stop listening to it. Can’t believe Metallica is actually making their comeback. Welcome back, guys!
”
Just REEKS of being planted by an A&R intern douchebag!
“Welcome back, guys!”?????????
unbvelievable..
it’s crazy to see this much of hateful debate over sooo over-rated band..
i LOVED Metallica. I started listening and playing metal and rock because of those guys – but they’ve become everything they laughed at before.
somebody wrote here in some comment – ‘when will they [Metallica] stop yelling ‘Oh, Baby’ in every song for 20 times’?
if i remember correctly, there is a famous quote of Helfield when they played their first Day on the Green fest in ‘85 (they played between Bon Jovi and Ratt, if I’m correct) – he said – ‘if you expect to hear ‘Oh Baby’ in every fuckin song, you’re in the wrong place – we’re not THAT band’.
James, dude! YOU’VE BECOME THAT BAND…
it’s sad what they’ve become..
the only way i see they could come back to form is to fuckin kill themselves drinking and taking drugs, because sober thing is not working for them..
like Bill Hicks said once — ‘All you people who talk against taking booze & drugs – burn all your CD’s, because 99.99% of all the good music you own in your home was being made on booze or drugs…’
it’s not i’m talking about taking drink or booze (i do drink, but don’t do drugs – for now ;) )
at the end — just to answer thos people who like the new song and probalbly think Metallica’s first album was ‘Load’ – I’m sorry to say — but you don’t know shit dudes…
one more thing -
just read someone said – ‘Welcome back Metallica’
WELCOME BACK??
where were they for last… let’s say.. 20 YEARS???
Welcome back?
jeez!
fuck the album – i wanna hear from more insane fans.
It sounded a lot better live last night at Reading than it did when I listened to it last week online. Can’t say it reached the lofty heights of “good”, however, in my opinion.
Luckily it was on fairly near the start of their set, before I got bored and left. Really not sure if the magic’s there any more at all.
keep posting all the long drawn out opinions that you want. keep saying how much you dont like them because its not as good as their albums in the 80’s. keep setting an unreachable bar for anyone to hit so that you can bash the greatest metal band of all time. lets face it… master of puppets will never be done again. but im telling you now… if the music put out by metallica today was done by any other band… you would be in love with it. but because its not a new black album you want to talk your shit. go ahead… say anything and everything you want. but stop saying that “everyone” feels that way. because guess what… the album isnt even out yet… it’s number one on amazon. it WILL debut at number one when its realesed. you know why???? because they are still the best metal band out today. so go ahead keep talking… keep claiming “they suck”… but guess what… no matter how much you say… they still stay on top.. and that wont be changing any time soon.
It sounds like a lot of you punks think its cool to put down metallica. If you don’t like it find something else to listen to. The new album sounds OK. Just remember on their worst day they’re still better than anything you could ever wish to be. Also to everyone saying the black album wasn’t any good, I think something like 11 million people thought otherwise.
