Death Magnetic? Good...?

[arbiter]

Please don't flame if you love/hate Metallica.
Please, for the love of god, don't start the "Metallica V.S. Megadeth" argument. Anyone who has already picked a side won't ever change their mind. o.o





Anyways, I just wanted to see what everything thinks of Death Magnetic. It's been a while since it's been released, but it's still a bit of a hot issue for a lot of rock/metal fans(at least, where I live).


So what do you think? Do you think it's comparable to their earlier works like "...And justice for all"? Do you dislike/like it? If so, why?




Personally, I'm a bit down the middle on it. Aside from the vocals and lyrics on the album(which I thought were terrible) it's not bad, even if it isn't as good as what they were coming up with in the 80s. Not that I'm a raging old-school metallica fan or anything, but I don't think anyone can honestly try to say it's better than Ride the Lightning, or even the black album.


But that's just my opinion, I want to hear yours.

Its pretty decent. Big improvement from everything past Black Album imo; Reload, St.Anger etc. just sucked. I like quite a few of the songs off Death Magnetic, I wasn't really disappointed with it. Though I can say that everything thing Black Album and post-Black Album was their best stuff; again, imo.

[Pepsi]

there earlier stuff is much better

this album is trash imo

[M i s f o r t u n e]

not very good imo
all nightmare long is best

[Danny]

Boring album is boring

[YamiJoey]

I flame everyone on this topic for accepting this album into existance. It's not a bad album, it's just that every track on it could be replaced by a track from another Metallica album and you'd get basically the same album, but much better.

When I first heard All Nightmare Long; I thought someone had listened to Enter Sandman and decided to rip the intro off and make it a little more "Grr".

2 songs rest is crap

[Seita Firemaster]

I really liked this album......... Are you all on crack?

[Deja Vu]

is was emoish

[Gsus]

It was ok, it's just they will never be the same as when the came out with Kill 'Em All. Now they're basically Alternica.

[The 86th Samurai]

It was better than St.Anger and some of their more recent stuff, but to me it was just so-so. Like someone else said, their original stuff from the eighties is the best, in my opinion. "Ride The Lightning" was my favorite. :cool:

[Wi[z[zy r[olling]]

Metallica would be x10 better if they did screaming tbh.

[Moshoholic4life]

It was ****. But it was improved **** compared to their last few albums.

[rei]

Solid metal album, but very badly produced. They really ****ed up on the loudness war ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war ) and it makes it sound rediculous. The rock band masters sound better.

[Viaraze]

Eh, it was decent.

[chaosmage]

It was alright. I look at it similarly to how I look at the Black Album, some tracks I really like, and others I don't care for. Overall I'd probably give it a 3.5/5.

[Psy_Hero*]

Meh, I didn't like it but I don't hate it.
After the black album nothing else mattered.

[Ty the Tasmanian Tiger]

I like it, it's very different from St. Anger and a lot more clearer than their earlier works. There is other, better bands out their though, in my own honest opinion. 7.5/10
