After spending years working with Rick Rubin on what many people are calling their comeback album, Metallica has finally debuted a few new songs. The first single is now on the band's official website, and is titled "The Day That Never Comes." The streaming quality isn't that great, (obviously a deterrent to those who would want to, *gasp*, download it without paying) but most fans are probably just happy to hear some finished product.
The other new song was debuted during their set at Ozzfest in Dallas, TX. Once again, the band's official site came through for the fans and provided official video of the performance. This song, titled "Cyanide", unforunately sounds like cookie-cutter Metallica. Very color-by-numbers. Double-bass drums, chugging guitars, fast Kirk Hammett solos... Some things just don't impress anymore. However, I wouldn't doubt for a second that this album won't gain them a bunch of new young fans. Hell, it's better than them listening to Avenged Sevenfold, right? It's a good laugh to hear the polite "Thank you, Dallas" right after the song ends, too.
The new album, Death Magnetic, comes out on September 12.
P.S. It takes a lot of balls for a rocker to wear shorts onstage. See YouTube.
