Hetfield said "It started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley [ALICE IN CHAINS] and a lot of the people that have died, basically — rock and roll martyrs of sorts. Knowing the thought process behind the name and the album cover makes it seem pretty cool to me. Just one man's opinion.

you'd think that they'd have put a little more time into it(the artwork) with all the time they've had to work and perfect the album. I don't judge an album by its artwork though, we'll have to wait and see.

Shredder13 sounds like one of them elitist metal heads that doesn't like anything unless it's a demo that nobody owns. Come on, you didn't like Master Of Puppets or ...And Justice For All? Ride The Lightning was good but not their best. Oh well, all opinions anyway.

They already tried the all black cover though, so I guess an all white cover might be next? Bodom already has the market cornered on using Death, A7X already has the winged skull and their crappy skeleton on a winged horse, so what else is there? Roses and pistols?

I'm going to hage to agree that their older analbum covers were cool, but like their music, their taste in covers has changed.

Just as a huge FU they should put the teletubbies on there or something. That would actually be awesome.

I think the cover is great. With it's starkness, it projects some kind of duality theme. The fact that people are either attracted or repelled by it is in line with it's theme.

Like I said before, what they are doing right now lacks any sort of integrity, it just shows that they can't let go. Lars could go and be an internet cop to arrest every downloading sob, James could go play some country because he is really good at that, Kirk could go and stay with the monkeys for all I care (so overrated that guy) and Trujillo could go back and play with a real band because he still has a soul...for now !

What I was getting at earlier Red, is the fact that you should consider this. Since your a musician you need look at the situation in a different point of view. Consider the idea that you will be in a famous band when you are older, I know that it is not likely, but still. Your going to argue with me, I know you will. If you throw out an album that you deem is amazing, you will most likely expect people to respect the fact that you put the album out, won't you? I know your going to deny this up and down, but thats just because you want to maintain your a$$hole personage. I have never said that you need to like the album branded, I merely stated (like I have about the last 5 times) that you should respect the fact that they are out there making music. Your a musician Red, you should understand this. But apparently not. I know you will all still deny this as stupid, but it's the truth. Metallica is in it for the money, who the f*** isn't these days. Humanity in itself is greedy. I can't wait to see what you have posted after you've read this.

I'm not a fan of Hammet's guitar work. Only a few riffs from early exodus and maybe a couple more from Puppets. But i prefer Kill Em' All & Ride The lightning over Puppets & Justice. In fact, Justice is not a favorite of mine. Just my opinion fellow metalhead's. No need to resort to random violence. Anyways, this album cover is pretty decent.

Yes, Metallica has put out disappointing material, (w/music AND album covers) but I still LOVE them because I don't give about individuals anymore, its about the music. I agree with Post 87, I hope the new album is good: after all, their cover of "Remember Tomorrow" sounded great.

To Return Of The Mayhem: I totally see your points! I got nothing against Red or Kalis, they both seem cool and are entitled to their opinions, but your entitled to your opinion too, just let it go, but I DO see your points. Thanx

Hey, I was just surprised at the personal attack after my first posting on this site. I too am very critical of Metallica and I have pretty much moved on to other bands. However when a new album is due to come out I still look forward to hearing it in hopes that it will be good. Anyways, as fun as it was going back and forth with you that's not what I come to this site for. So go on to some other threads and continue attacking others who give you attention. Where'd the evil monkey go??

but you take this sh** way too seriously man. I had fun but you should not get p***ed by that, happens to everybody all the time. Actually it all started when other people started attacking me, Kalis, Branded and others who said that we didn't believe in Metallica anymore. We got flamed for that and started attacking back. that's when you came in, amongst all the fun and well you got it from me. I read it again yesterday, it was ridiculously funny...well I'll see you on other threads, and you'll be surprised, I do not attack that often.

do you really think Metallica gives a f*** about what Mr. Red Chord thinks? Who's "us"? Who's "we"? Metallica does what THEY want to do, always have, always will. They don't have time to listen to little whiners on some random a$$ music site.

at this point in their careers, if I were one of the dudes in Metallica, I wouldn't give two flying f***s about what the fans think.

And no I am not going to say u are a fag blah blah blah, because if you took time to read other threads, you would see that I agree with you more often than I disagree. Right now you are just trying to join forces with FUIAMETAL but read our respective last posts and you will see that basically, well at least on my part, we buried the hatchet. so please do the same and move on.

well, i probably am the one that states that "metallisheep" comment the most. its just that metallica fans always defend their has been gods as if we, the metallica haters, have just killed their dog or something. all we are doing is staing our opinions in a public forum, and the metallisheep cant stand the fact that someone thinks different than them about metallica. look at metallica. bands are turning down touring with them, their shows are becoming more and more problemsome (if thats a word) for them. their new cover art only signifies where they are in their dying careers, and they know it!!!!

My thing is, if bands want to REALLY capture their "Live" sound on record, then why not just record everything live in the same room? Little to no overdubs, and no computers involved whatsoever.

Zt I dunno about the recording process for an album but I always thought that if I was to record an album I would do it that way...but I guess you want the album to sound a little bit more polished than live so you do it part by part so if you f*** it up, you can do it again.
