Who`s loving Metallica`s - Death Magnetic?

Well, I don't know if I love "Death Magnetic," but I certainly like it a lot. A nice rebound for the band after the debacle that was "St. Anger." I'm not a huge fan of long songs, so I would have preferred a shorter run-time, but thankfully the tracks are good enough that I don't get bored and reach for the Skip button. And while the production is perfectly fine, I can only imagine how much better this CD would have sounded in the hands of one of today's top heavy metal producers (I'm sure Tim could toss a few suggestions out there).

 

But all positives aside, there is no way this is Top Ten material, and it certainly doesn't merit "heavy metal album of the year"...though I would rate "My Apocalypse" right up there with the best heavy metal songs of the year. Love that tune! :banger:

Been listening to this one a lot in the past week since I saw them in concert... and DM is still holding up rather well with the exception of the ten-minute pointless instrumental ("Suicide & Redemption")

so hopefully they are back on track to STAY.. :banger:

I'll agree the instrumental being that long is pointless and I don't care for the Unforgiven III song.

I mean how many times are they going to have Unforgiven on a cd?

Yea, they could've kept "Unforgiven III" too, now that you mention it. But even then, the average of good songs vs. bombs on DEATH MAGNETIC is still far better than anything they've done since the Black Album days

Sorry, Bob... I'll admit that I went into the album with extremely lowered expectations, but ended up pleasantly surprised.

 

Hell, I just saw'em live last weekend and they smoked. They seem to be atoning for their past sins nowadays. :headbanger:

I felt the same way too Bob, but really this is a pretty solid release..

I said I'd NEVER buy anything by them again, but after

hearing it a few times I did. Bob see if you can find it in a used

record store..It's worth it. :banger:

Now your talkin', to tell you the truth I don't know why I ventured into this thread, I knew it would just piss me off. I guess I was hoping for some Selloutica bashing.

Did you check out my concert review thread? The set list was great, if it wasn't off the new album it was all old school sh*t. No LOAD, RELOAD, or ST. ANGER tunes in sight. They busted out "Hit The Lights" for Chrissake!! :headbanger:

He sounded pretty good... got a little nasally/ragged sounding towards the end but that's to be expected after two hours on stage I guess.
