Overall sound- DM with some Loadish elements. Improved production.

General consensus- Good album. Production is decent (nothing mindblowing, but decent), performances are mostly good (Kirk still ends up using too much wah, and James struggles to hit some of the notes since the album is likely in E standard). Probably sits better with those of us who enjoy the Loads than those of us who want them to be more "metal" (Looking at you, HR)

Okay. Here is so more titles and elaboration.

Metallica - Last Life

1. Devolve (Fast 6 minute thrasher that starts with a 1 minute soft intro of bass and piano)
2. Destruction of Society (8 minute epic with a slow change right before the last chorus)
3. Bleed Souls (Starts off with a chaotic 1 minute intro, before changing into a slow but extremely heavy grinder. Last two minutes have a speed change where it starts to thrash and give an epic guitar solo and go back into the chaotic intro the end the song off)
4. Last Words (Starts off with just James singing with an acoustic guitar for about 2 minutes. Later we move to electric for the chorus, and have clean guitar verses with the whole band, then another chorus until we get a mildly heavy section with one verse, and then it goes insane with 3 minutes of loud, heavy, unforgiving, fast soloing then we get 1 more acoustic guitar verse)
5. Congregation of the Unfaithful (A groovy mid-paced heavy yet slow kicker. Kinda thinking if 2X4 was on Death Magnetic. 5 minute song. No solo.)
6. Noose Hangs (A super fast thrasher, going at a mile a minute. Contains a 3 minute solo section)
7. Writing On The Wall (Starts off with one minute of eerie spacy guitar with an occasional burst of heaviness until the heaviness consumes the song, drums kick in and we get a heavy riff that crushes hard. After that, it goes into a spoken word verse with no guitar. The heavy guitar comes in again for the chorus. This repeats until we get to the bridge which has heavy guitars come in and go on a long, loud heavy stream of guitar madness and solos. After that, we go back into another minute of eerie spacy guitar and burst of heaviness, with the burst heavier and with drums)
8. Bodymade Gravestone (Standard fare that could've easily fit anywhere on Death Magnetic.)
9. Above All Treason (5 minute relentless thrashfest. Includes a "HOLY FUCK" solo and a bass/spoken word interlude.)
10. All The Lives Wasted (11 minute song. Starts with 2 minutes of slow, creepy guitar before busting into a slow yet heavy sort-of-thrash song. This goes on for about 4 minutes until it goes silent and we get a 3 minute solo section which is absolutely INSANE on all fronts. Even James may lend a short solo. Then we get 2 minutes of the intro repeated, except way more distorted and with creepy noises and barely audible whispering in the background. Song fades out.)

Not saying you're wrong but source ? 

Yes it was sarcasm. :) xx

New song at Minneapolis.
Release date is set and the album drops a month before unexpectedly.

10 songs. Mostly 5-7 minutes in length. One around the 4 minute mark, two at 8 minutes plus. Album title will reference the fact it's their tenth in some way (much like Mastodude's mock up).

10 songs.
3 words in the title.
1 instrumental.

I think it'll be the album that should have came between Reload and St. Anger.
