those two new songs are really good, though i like cyanide a bit better. Of course The Day That Never Comes sounds epic, but somehow the final part of that song, the dual guitar part remind me a bit Iron Maiden songs (maybe that's only because I've been listening to some Irons lately).
I'm really curious about the album now. Hopefully I have a chance to see Metallica live next years. It's been ages since I've been to a live of theirs.
