Death Magnetic

by senn • 4 Oct 2008, 17:10 • Journals
I'm a fan of early Metallica, but the new shit didn't do it for me.

Now I heard that their newest release Death Magnetic is 'back to 1988'.
So i was pretty excited about it (St. anger and shit were just plain bad).

Now I'm listening to it, and erm... this doesn't sound anything like early Metallica.

It's not bad, it's definitely better than St. Anger.... but I'm not impressed.


Anyone else heard it and has anything to say about it...?

Death Magnetic was a serious rape.

Hetfield now sounds like his balls were cut off. End of story.

And not to mention The Unforgiven III :|. My ears are still bleeding.

They pretty much only achieved nothing but absolute shit since they released that load-reload scum.

st. anger sounded like lars ulrich was banging some trash cans, death magnetic sounds like the whole band is having a gangbang inside of these trash cans

Jesus, did you really expect this album to be Master of Puppets 2? They are not in 1985 anymore. Of course, the album doesn't sound very refreshing (like Master... or Ride for example), but, hey, there is some serious riffing and it's definitely a really good comeback after St. Anger or boring Loads. The album sounds awesome to me (the GH3 version of course) and we've got Hammett's leads again. Just stop whining and enjoy the music.

heard it (still hearing it alot), love it, think it sounds like a record after "justice for all..."

listen to songs like "That was just your life", "broken, beat & scarred" or especially "all nightmare long" and u must agree it sounds close to master, justice times...

"my apocalypse" is imo almost a trashmetal song, something i haven't heard in ages from metallica...

I'm a huge Metallica fan since long long time, and like u i think "st.anger" was crap (unlike maybe 1 or 2 songs), but i can hear "death magnetic" from the first to the last song (well maybe "Unforgiven III" and "The day that never comes" are a bit weak ok...), but for the rest, all songs are great, best Metallica album since 1991s Black album imo.
