Hey Guys... Have you guys heard the new Metallica Album.. was jis curious what you guys think about it??

Death Magnetic

iceman83

hey dudes - I'm a noob, but I'm also a Metallica fan

have to say, after reading the thread, I'm impressed to find that everyone's absolutely correct (however did you manage that?)

the new album, even with Lars' drum set sounding like old, tin dustbin lids being banged inside a wheelie-bin with polyurethane hammers, I reckon the boys are stepping back into their stride as fan as the overall composition of their music goes.

now lets have a fund-raiser to buy Lars a new drum kit, and to help james back onto Irish whiskey, and wait for the next album ?

I second that notion....Give him Jagermeister

With some Aftershock?
I am always a fan of James Hatfield's riffs, but i'm more into there older albums(Metallica Black) is still my favourite album. I love the unforgiven 3 as with 1 and two.

Although Death Magnetic is way better than the complete disaster (No offense) That was St. Anger, its still not nearly as good as their older stuff, but an album worth buying! ?

Well, Ive never been a huge Metallica fan, but I will say that Death Magnetic is a solid album. Not the best cd ever, but it is better than a lot of the stuff thats around these days.

My opinion:

I can't listen to Metallica and think "aah cool band" because when listening to their songs I hear a band trying to write songs to fill an album just to sell it as they are sounding a tad bit more radio friendly. But like Alan said in another thread about some bands that were considered metal in the past aren't really considered metal these days, I could be alone on this opinion.

That's honestly what I feel/hear. They should have stopped a while ago and just ride their fame into retirement.

spot on dude, i heard all this hype that their spirit was revived by playing MoP live so they went back 2 the studio...in hind sight all that malarky was publicity. i didnt see much effort to top or even match their old stuff. not much in the way of innovation either

You guys are all spot on....

Ive listened to a couple of tracks and Iam dissapointed...It lacks the hard edge that there earlier stuff had and its abit noisy....
I wouldnt run out and buy the cd but maybe download a few of the tracks for prosperity..

I think its a great album!! I'll even go as far to say its the best album since black.

Byron

nice album but everything sounds too loud

your_art_is_life

the new album sounds incredible!

funny i say this on a guitar forum, but its got one of the greatest snare sounds ive ever heard.
