I think Death magnetic is just piece of shit, and I agree with Marcel that if it was from another band I would rate it near 10. This album is just noise. I think 5/10 is good for album rate
I never said that. I said that if another band had released it no-one would pay any attention to it.
So are you saying that if it wasn't popular you'd give it a ten (based on its obscurity) but since about 3/4 of earth's population has heard of it, its garbage?
Edit:Ah so confused by that post

The best metallica release since the black album IMO. It's like the missing link between ..And Justice For All and the Black Album. A must buy

This album got a 7 from me. I hate the fanboys too. Lets give every Metallica album a 10. Yay! Now I bet they feel accomplished. Metallicock in mouth syndrome. Never fails.

Maybe its getting 10's because its ACTUALLY a good album. I was thinking of giving this a 10 myself but I just can't seem to get myself to do it (yet), so a 9 will suffice for now. IMO this is their best since Master of Puppets (I honestly never got why AJFA is considered so great, such subpar composition), yet great for entirely different reasons.
kind of reminds me (like everyone says) of as if AJFA and the Black album had a baby and both improved everything that held the albums back, as well as the overal strenths as well (only thing that hasn't improved I suppose is speed, but speed doesn't neccesarily mean quality). It's probably their tightest album as well, and all of the songs just allow the listener to get lost in the songs, while never really allowing itself to ride on "catchiness" exclusively. There is a lot I can rant and rave about the album but I'm just gonna end on that this album is shockingly great and doesn't really have an "bad" songs, everything will eventually grow on you. 9ish/10

Last time I checked a 10 was a perfect rating so by giving it a 10 it's perfect in every way?

Well by that logic, no Opeth albums should be 10's, since they aren't perfect in EVERY way, since their are albums which are faster and more aggressive. Now in theory, Opeth could be faster yet still retain both their dark grim animositous sound and progressiveness, yet don't so they can't be perfect.
Perfection is rather arbitrary, eh?
Perhaps the only reason I havn't given this a 10 is because I havn't really gotten the sense of knowiing that I'm hearing something just undeniably incredible, or perhaps I'm just antsy about giving this ealbum a 10 (despite not finding the ability to take it out of my cd player for something else)

Metallica goes back to their old sound. I think this one sounds a bit like the "justice" album, with a little "load" and "black album" in it. It´s a good album, but no classic. After a while it getting boring. They have lost it, and that was a long time ago. But still not bad at all, just not interesting any moore..
yeah i agree with you on the sound of it, theyve got me hooked on it though...

The new album is good, it got 7 from me.. The highlight for me are Kirk Hammett's solos (the best one imo in Suicide & Redemption). Favorite songs are My Apocalypse and Suicide & Redemption. I won't comment on production very much. It could have been better for that money and experience of mixers and mastering experts. And now when they try to sound somewhat complex on this album, they should experiment with a bit more progressive sound for next one.

I think it's a good album. Most of the songs are really cool and energetic (and I've missed that in Metallica's three previous albums, along with a whole bunch of other things ofc). It's not as good as their highest rated albums, but as for me, they have gained some credibility again when it comes to writing a decent album ... I think a lot of us did wonder whether they we're up to the task of creating another album with their old spirit. I believe it's a success. Especially The Judas Kiss, All Nightmare Long and Suicide & Redemption are killers in my opinion. The album would probably have a higher rating if it wasn't for The Day That Never Comes and The Unforgiven III. But all credit to Metallica. They're still an amazing band!

honestly, at first i didnt know what to expect from this new album. i honestly thought it was going to be another Load, Reload, or St. Anger. but when i got it and listened to it. i was very shocked. tis a kickass album. in my opinion i think that almost all the songs are ace. cyanide is the only one i dont really care for. but it still is an alright song. all in all, after the release of this album, i am still proud to call Metallica my favorite band.

hehe.. the first song is very boring until the beggining of the solos at 5:30 min ''The End of the line'' is better, ''All nightmare long'' is the best song in my opinion.
But I really prefer St. Anger style. when it comes to Metallica, i like the catchy nu-metal riffs and the weird drums But this album has a couple of songs that i can enjoy.

To me it's a bit better or at least equal to Black Album.. Nice job from a band that is lost between their past and their hot hot money... They remebered after many years to work..

At first I thought the album was really good but after a while it became even better. I listen to it more now than during its first release days. A very special mix of "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets" and "...And Justice for All" with a thick layer of Load over it. Okay, I'll be honest. Puppetz and Lightning aren't as obvious as Load and Justice, but I can certainly hear a "Ride the Lightning" solo at one place and "Disposable Heroes" at another.
It sounds like Metallica has held all that early aggression and Thrash inside them for the last 20 years and suddenly they just let it all out. And for the first time ever I actually enjoy Kirk's solos throughout the whole album. Yes, I'm a Metallica fanboy who thinks most Kirk Hammett solos says... nothing.
During the (many) highlights, "Death Magnetic" is IMO the best they've done since '86.
Oh, almost forgot. The album is amazing, but "Suicide & Redemption" must be the most boring shit I've heard from them.

Best album since the first 4. Wonder why it took them almost 20 years to do this, but anyway... Will never live up to the Metallica of old but its not too bad.

I don't think it's boring at all. The riffs are great.

I really enjoyed your review of "Death Magnetic". It seems like a coming back to form since "St. Anger", although i was able to listen through that album.
upon my first listen it was definitely a shock to hear them like this. Thrash. Metallica are a Thrash band, and listening to this brought a huge smile to my face. my only complaints about this album are:
1. typically it takes about 2 min to get to the actual song, the intros are nice but maybe they should of done that on a song or two.
2. the production value. its TOO high. im listening to a playlist at the gym and im listening to Master of Puppets then My Apocalypse comes on, it blows my ears off. so now i have to make sure i lower the volume before a song from Death Magnetic comes on.
but all in all..... 8/10 from me. Welcome Back Metallica

I agree with what Metallica said about this album "Is the best album that we could have done in this moment", forget abour Load, Reload and St Anger, this album has solos, agression, fast riffs, nice drum arrangements and meanning, so, this is, in my opinion, a very good album which makes me admire even more Metallica, is amazing how a band almost 30 years after their first album can create something so good! Long live to them!
