They have 25 songs

Metallica are considering 25 songs for the follow up to 2003's 'St. Anger'.

The album will be the band's ninth studio effort and they hope to narrow the list of songs down to a single album of material when they begin recording in January with Red Hot Chilli Peppers producer Rick Rubin.

Drummer Lars Ulrich said that the new album's sound would hark back to 1986's 'Master Of Puppets'.

"What I hear sounds very lively, very spunky, got a lot of energy," he explained. "I think that the shows we played over the summer, we were definitely leaner and kind of in better shape than we've been in a long time."

The band rekindled their interest in that sound after playing the classic album in its entirety at several European shows.

"Having to deliver 'Master of Puppets' for three months this summer definitely revitalized some of that stuff in us," Ulrich told The Rock Radio. "It's been kind of fun having that in the back of our mind."

Pffft I don't find that overly promising, as from what I heard St Anger was also supposed to 'hark back to the old days'...

I'll believe it when I hear it...

I don't really care, and just find it all a big joke TBQH...

agreed.

you may be albe to play a similar style to Master of Puppets, but there is no way they will ever capture the sound of an album that was recorded 20 years ago.

very interesting about Rick Rubin producing the album though

Metallica's yet-to-be-titled ninth studio album is tentatively planned to be released in late 2007.

I'm interested.

...I still haven't got St Anger yet though. Watching Some Kind of Monster makes me want to get it. It also makes me want someone to stab Lars in the head. I don't understand how the other members tolerate him at all.

Anyways,
Metallica = James Hetfield = awesome.

Nah, James and Lars = Metallica. Without that combo Metallica would never have reached the level they did. Lars is a fuckwit, but he came across worse in SKOM because James was going through the whole drying out thing. Also, Lars is a mega homo, just like Kirk, but whatever...
