Metallica- Death Magnetic

Well if you all dont know I am the biggest fan of Metallica. I have been a club member for a long long time. I have met the band and have many Autos etc etc etc..
So.. Death Magnetic.. Best album in a long long time. I personally think it gives Master of Puppets a run.. It wont beat MOP but wow lets talk about how hard of sound they came back to. I am loving it!!! How about you?:bow:

ill vouch for the man he IS the biggest metallica fan of all time and it think the new cd is freakin awesome BTW

I don't know about that...I might be able to give you a run for your money!

I'm told the album clips, which is hilarious.

I wouldn't say it's as good as Master of Puppets, but I will admit its better than anything else I've heard from them in quite a long time. ;)

I think it's their best since MOP. MOP is timeless.

hmmmm,ive only heard 1 song from the album that being (day that never ends) or somthing like that.i had to turn it off.friggin horrible!i have not bought the album in fear the rest will sound similar.mop is a great album but i give the edge to and justice for all

You shouldn't buy it, the album wasn't recorded mixed and mastered properly. The levels of the instruments are wrong and everything distorts when the songs pick up.

It's not worth your hard earned money. You would think that a band with a miliion dollar budget, that has spent plenty of time fighting illegal downloading, would be capable of releasing a professionally made album. DM is a joke.

Wow did you actually buy the album? Or just scam the download like most with the crappy quality. I have Heard both. The leaked album was crappy. Go figure:weirdface But the actual cd is very well done.

Let me guess you really never been a Metallica fan. What is your fav. Lp?
Who is your fav member?
Fav song?

But at least the snare drum doesn't sound like a plastic bottle the way it did on St.Anger :rolleyes:

For 10 bucks at Target I bought the album and was pleasantly surprised when I started listening to it.

Unfortunately no, although I wish I was with how much they just got bought out for. ;) It's not so much that I need to get past it, it's just the fact that I still find the whole situation humorous. A rock band focused on creating the image of rebels, who were known for supporting the bootlegging of their shows, suddenly sueing some of the very people who may have supported them from the beginning. You gotta admit, legal or not, it was quite an about-face.

Also, as I said earlier, I will admit this album is far better than the last few cd's I've heard from them. I may not be much of a fan of them any more, but I honestly could not listen all the way through St. Anger -- and I'm usually pretty forgiving about giving most cd's a listen through a few times before I decide if I like it or not.

love it.. but love master of puppets more

I don't download music, I buy it in a store, and whether or not I like Metallica has nothing to do with my comments on their production for DM.

You are wrong, the CD is terrible. There is a reason why the guitar hero version sounds so much better.

Have a look at this article...http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008...o.loudness.war

I noticed the sound quality issues more when listening on headphones at work than in my car. Its especially noticeable during the chummy low end riffs.

The guitar hero situation reminds me of the St.Anger CD. The actual CD sounded like crap but the bonus DVD you got of them playing the album in the studio sounded 10x's better.

wats wrong with downloading music? that album is supposed to sell over 500,000 copies this week.the members of the band could live off just going on tour so they need to stop crying.if i woulda bought this album i woulda been pissed off.it sucks!i dont care about the quality of the recording,its the music that is no good.metallica hasnt put out a descent album since the black album and it wasnt even that great.

all songs sound better on guitar hero,rockband or a dvd.they dont have to shrink the files so it stays more true to the original recording.

Yeah the mistakes don't make the album unlistenable, just annoying. These are the kind of mistakes amateur bands make when they record their own jams and for a huge group like Metallica to do it is pathetic. Their fans deserve better.

Their song writing surprised me though, they punched out some really good tunes.

I personally think metallica is garbage, and has been since since ride the lightning. The only good metal put out since the late 80,s to now is europe. Black metal is where its at folks!:gj:

my friend put it in his top 3 Metallica albums but I was far from it. It was okay but not my fav, my fav is still "Ride the Lighting" followed closely by Justicse for All" then "Master of Puppets"

1.and justice for all
2.ride the lightning
3.master of puppets
4.kill'em all
5.metallica
the rest equal total garbage

I would call Metallica what they are, but I would get forum infraction points.

Way back in the day when I wore metallica T-shirts to school they were the best. Then they got their panties in a wod about downloading music after producing a soft rock album. That is when they turned from legends to crapola.

Have to stop now because if I say anthing else about this "group" I will get infraction points.

Uh, because it's illegal? That's why it's called pirating.
I heard about the whole 'sue down loaders' thing, which I personally found amusing and comical after supporting them for years before hand.

I've never been much of a fan, but I thought MOP wasn't bad music in itself. Maybe I should look up some sample songs of the new album and see if it's worth my wild.

im into alot of heavy music, a i really think that the new album was a turn around from st. anger.
id say its compairable to the black album....
its good, but deffinantly not my fav.

The new album is ok. It's infinitely better than St. Anger, but so is Britney Spears, so that doesn't say much.

I think the songs are good but James voice is shot to hell. Anything he sings now just isn't all that great. And the mix is just bad. I don't know if it's on purpose or not but there are several instances in every song where the drums drown out the guitar. That should never happen. Ever. But I guess that fits the attitude of the drummer.

I think Justice was the best Metallica album ever followed by Master of Puppets, then Ride the Lightning, Kill em all, and Garage days. When they came out with the black album i lost all respect for them. That was the speedy decline of Metallica in my book.

I still rock Justice monthly in my car. I just cant seem to take it out of rotation. kinda like Aenima - that cd will NEVER leave my changer!

True I am a true die hard Metallica fan. But really from the "Black album" on it has been hard to be a fan.
They have a couple of songs here or there but for the most part the Black album is when they "SOLD OUT" so to speak. I cant blame them at all. I would to and so would most for the kind of money they pull in. Its the American way.
The only way I can guess the sound is whack on the new Death Magnetic is because they were trying to capture the old garage sound. Like on Jump & Ride & MOP.
I like 6 out of 10 songs on Death Magnetic.
Again. if you really read what I wrote i never ever said it is better than MOP. But it is the best album after that.
The band "soft".. Hmm how about older.. Unless you personally have been in a major band and that is your only income and you have drug / drinking problems and band problems etc. I think they have lasted pretty well. Beat out the 80's bands. Wish Pantera was still together..

For a wrap up.. This is not the end all be all cd by any means. But it is a big relief for us who have been following them for years now. They will be here in my state with Lamb of God. Now how Metallica plans on topping them will be hard to do. I am a HUGE LOG fan. They will try to out play Metallica and do a pretty good job of it.

Oh and for Slipknot fans.. Ouch.. sorry about that album.. 1 good song maybe 2.. The rest sounds like elevator music. Now that was a sad album..

Just my 2 cents

Oh that whole Death metal/Black metal stuff.. sorry cant get into it.. No real "beat" just sounds like noise. I like a real beat and lyrics I can kinda understand. I am sure my kid will laugh at this. But he knows. He listens to Job for a cowboy and such.. Noise.. some good music but mostly noise. Either way better than RAP music.. :gj::D
At least they play instruments..
