/M\ETALLIC/A\'s untitled 9th studio album (2007)

[Ms. Cleo]

Metallica's come a long way since their sloppily revolutionizing Kill 'Em All debut. Now four years from the lackluster but tolerably catchy St. Anger album, the ninth as of yet untitled studio album--produced by Rick Rubin (Slayer, Johnny Cash, System of a Down, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin park)-- is set for a late 2007 release and promises to be a piece more in touch to their long dormant 80's roots.

Additionally, as quoted by lead guitarist Kirk Hammet on Answers.com--

but a lot of the music has an eastern harmonic flair to it, a harmonic minor flair to it, and when I say harmonic minor, that could be construed as like eastern sounding or Middle Eastern sounding or maybe Arabic?

Since 2006, Metallica's debuted two new songs, provisionally dubbed "The New Song [Death Is Not The End]" and "The Other New Song [Vulturous]", respectively. Though played numerous times throughout their current tour, I've heard rumors that it's been slated in interviews by band members that one or both songs may not appear on the album, which is set to have a grand total of 14 songs (selected from out of around 25).

These last three are rumored to be Metallica songs as well, though extremely unlikely from the way I hear the style of the way the songs are played. Still, they's some bombass riffs, though.

They don't die, do they?

I hate Metallica because they started the whole "Consumers are stinking music pirates" crock of shit.

Is, and always shall be the best. Their music is always controlled (not just fast for the sake of fast like Death or speed metal), always heavy, and always groundbreaking.

Period.

Everyone can talk all the shit they want.

But in a hundred years

Metallica's music is gonna be the only music from the 20th century still blasting on everyone's organically-embedded speakers.

And you know it.

Metallicaa?

I knew you liked Metalica

But what in the hell is Metallicaa?

[Ms. Cleo]

FIXED.

Believe what you want. To Metallica, you are nothing but a music thief. That's what they think of their fans, and therefore, that is why I don't like them.

Oh my god, you're like my family:

Stuck in the past and in denial to update.
