As a huge fan of Metallica, I expected this album, and when I ecouté for the first time "The day that never comes" on the net, I thought to myself, in the end, pure Metallica as we loves that alternates bels arpeggios, riffs and solos two guitars .. but I had spotted a sound quite special, and since it was on the net, it my not too worried .. and when the disk is pulled out, I think that all the world is c preview of the production quality is average because of a so-called problem of mixing ... shit, c's still Metallica! James went out of us exelents riffs, the meilheurs since Black Album, or even And justice, but I have the impression that Kirk is really uninspired, too Wah wah, not the height of steel riffs James, knowing the time is elapsed recorded "Death Magnetic" it could have been much excavated knowing the technique Kirk..et Lars, opted definitively for very complicated drumming in time, but it really miss good old bearings, heavy what! the album is good, even very good, but I really think they could have done better, and some songs are too long with no breaks necessary, and can be lined with a few voices like James Black would have been hell .. however live, the songs of this album really come into their own dimension with SOUND and voice that James réelement found during the shot of this album. in any case, one thing is certain, this disc handed them on the way to a future album that would come out in 2013, and in my opinion, given the recent live performances of his last 3 years, the successor of Death Magnetic can not be that a killer!
