He calls it the first "proper" Metallica album in 15 years, which disregards most everything after the Black album...

Let's hope.

and its not like Metallica have used that line before!

While They were recording SA, Metallica always said it was the Heaviest Album they had done in years, and it was. St Anger was the most Metal Album since ...And Justice For All. But I dont know what they mean about a proper album.

I've followed the band for longer than I can remember, and sure they've always talked up their album releases but I have never heard them say that.

Yeah, no artist does that. But I've never heard Metallica disregard their albums from the past 15 years in reference to a new album.

Exactly. They are trying to promote the new album not demote it.


 

[metallex78]

I feel bad for what I've started here, because I've gone back to what Kirk said, and I think that I took what he said out of context in regards to their first "proper album in 15 years". He refered to it as their best album in 15 years.

Here are some highlights of the interview:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interviewer: Can you tell me some things about the new album you're working on?

Kirk Hammett: I think it's the best album we?re about to put out in, let's say, fifteen years!?

Interviewer: Oh, but that rules out quite a lot of work you've done in the past!

Kirk Hammett: Yeah, it's our eleventh studio album, but it feels like our sixth. It's just a really spectacular range of songs. This time we're not afraid to refer to our past music in order to create future music. People will see that we've kind of embraced our old vocabulary again and are using that vocabulary to express new things. I'm super excited to make this album, finish it and release it ? 'cause then we can go out and play it to the people. We might have stretched our cores a little too much in the last fifteen years, but we?ve always came back to what we originally are and have been. I think with this album we're definitely going a little more back into our roots.

Interviewer: Does this mean, you're heading from St Anger as a start further into, let's say, raw metal?

Kirk Hammett: Yeah, it's super raw! There are some songs on that album that are so fast, that James and I kinda look at each other and go: "Ouch! Our wrists are gonna fall off!" There are a lot of really, really fast songs, a whole lot of really heavy stuff. We changed our approach to writing the songs, all of us were working on the material this time. We also changed our tuning. With St Anger we had the guitars really low. This time, we tuned the guitars back up to what they originally were for the first five albums. Because we've done that, James' voice sounds more like it did in the 80's than it did in the 90's. There's a lot of changes that we've made, but I believe that they are all for the better.

Interviewer: Was there a necessity to go back to the roots and avoid melodies and slow stuff because of uprising bands like 30 Seconds To Mars for example or some other emo, nu metal, whatever you may call it band?

Kirk Hammett: Yeah, you know. I don?t really understand what emo, the description means?

Interviewer: Well, me neither?

Kirk Hammett: Yeah, everytime when I ask my friends about those things, they give me answer that simply doesn't explain anything (laughs) I'll tell you, there are some melodic songs that we've written, that do have a lot of melody. I myself would like to see this songs go on the album. But whether they do or not remains to be seen. We do have a lot of songs, but only nine or ten will make it on the actual album. But there definitely is an amount of songs, that are in some ways slower and melodic ? but, they do get heavy at some point during the song.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still sounds like a promising album!

[guns_n_motley]

when you think about it though, all hes saying is its better than load, reload and st anger. which shouldnt be too hard!!

well see though, the new songs on youtube sound promising

[Thorned Rose]

DUde, the interviewer could've asked one simple question.

"Is this album going to be any better then St. Anger?"

THat would've done the whole interview.

[metallex78]

I enjoyed St Anger, but for fux sake, if people can't move on from that album, then stay the fuck out of this thread please.

[MarioGunner]

I quite enjoyed Load for taht matter you know? but I would definitely enjoy more something like the Black album or master of puppets, even some Kill'em all sort of stuff. 

[Dead N' Bloated]

I enjoyed St Anger, but for fux sake, if people can't move on from that album, then stay the fuck out of this thread please.

Tell me about it.

If I dont like something, I try not to talk about it.

In one of the interviews with either Rob or Kirk they said the 2 new songs wont be on the album but parts from the songs will be used in other songs.


 

[MarioGunner]

That's some weird stuff... what's gonna happen with those two songs??   

[Dead N' Bloated]

The have been broken up and made into newer songs by the sounds of things.


 

[MarioGunner]

Interesting, they will only exist in the bootlegs of those shows recordings.... wow....
