When I wrote the thing I originally wanted to give it a 7.5, but it has become very difficult to put DM down...

wooohoooo, awesome review!and very true indeed.
Metallica's back baby!

Allrighty then, I guess I'll go buy the album after all.

metallica finally create a good record!!!

thanks man! at least there are some eyes
i give it a 10 even if it is metallica, cause i think its somthin like "...And Justice For All" and a maybe a little better than it.

This review miss many points in this record, like how the production barely let anything but drums to be heard, and how almost every solo is based almost solely on simple scales.

Even in their old days they tried a bit harder.

What can I say? Metallica have never let me down, all of their discography is worth picking-up, even St Anger which is the band's worst album. Concerning Death Magnetic, I think that's the best rating buddy, couldn't be less or more...You'll never believe what's happening in Tunisia right now as I'm writing this comment, many friends of mine went to France to Buy it because it will arrive to Tunisia only on 13, Sep, which is a day after the worldwide release, and I think they should, it's worth the trip, yeah baby the best thrash metal band in the US and probably in the world is back! LONG LIVE METALLICA!

hopefull.
am glad to hear those songs from them this time.
hear THE JUDAS KISS?

I think we have 10 great song from metallica
DM is a great work from metallica
hail metallica

Sounds like I will at least have to give it a listen then!

Actually a solid album, and this coming from a guy who has never been a Metallica fan. The big problem for me is that the album is way too long.

I actually enjoyed listening to this when a friend was. I'm not a Metallica fan and personally i wouldn't buy or listen to it, but I thought it rolled along really nicely. I didn't think 'turn it off now' like some of those previous records..
I don't think Kirk's guitars are 'insane' tho, thats all fairly moderate playing.. with a great guitar sound.

Finally Metallica is back. At last wa can hear some doble basses and great guitar solos!! great album I already have it

They are the gods of rock, i always loved them and now, more than ever, the've back much more powerfull than 5 years ago, DETH MAGNETIC is awsom, solos are grate, after 22 years i've heard strong bass on MetallicA's songs, james is good as ever, and lars "i love you". i'm agree that we don't listen to another master of puppets, but Deth magnethic will Quench your thirst for metalica.

definately 8/10. Better than; St.Anger, Reload, Load and The Black Album. Tis up there with the best Metallica albums, although it does sound a lot different to the 80's stuff, but having variety in your 'metal diet' is a good thing. m/

it.s an 8.5 for me, Suicide & Redemption is a bit of a disappointment, I don't think the main riff is strong enough to carry it off as an instrumental. Still lots of good stuff on it though...well worth a listen!

Overall this is a good album, the best since 1988. Rick Rubin has saved Metallica! Thks RR!

It was said to be somewhat of an album to bridge the gap between the black album and and justice, and I think thats a fairly correct description. Its not bad, but its also not the greatest thing in the world.

METALLICA IS BACK!!!!!!!

ALL HAIL MAETALLICA!!!!!!!

Not impressed with this album. If you think you are going to buy it, surely you have the forethought to listen to it in its entirety first...

Just bought, and I think it's actually a good album,but Lars really don't deserves to play on it.Too loud, ,far too loud, and they don't deserve that treatement;i didn't really pay very much attention on the solos, but anyway, metallica's solos aren't my favorites at all so I didn'texpect very much of them.Favoutite song:All Nightmare Long.

I totally agree with lars business ... he sucks very bad

This is actually a good album. I didn't expect it to be so agressive, didn't expect it to be consistent as it is.

I think the cover is pretty nice as well I just got it today and only listened to it once but I see myself going back to it, for sure.

I guess I expected more from Kirk's solos, that would be one low of the album for me, apart from some exceptions here and there. But it doesn't hurt the album.

Bought this album today the 12th. of september 2008 at 1 am (Coffin in Box + 2 more CD's - where one of them is ltd. edition ... and I'm not done yet)

Though I can't listen to the album, because I'm at my mothers place and her stereo sucks (not a friendly or fair way to blast the album the first time )

So I'm freakin' looking forward to blast those ol' boyband music out my speakers when I arrive at home

Lars Ulrich ... kom snart til Danmark, tak! (english: "Lars ... visit Denmark soon, thanks!)

its a great album to come after that st.anger. and the 'suicide redemption' is one of those song that stay for a long time. great song.

drinkin a whiskey and listening to the new Metallica stuff, must say it´s simply fantastic. true metal sound again, remind me the best moments from Justice... and slightly St. Anger music.
Yes this bend is a real metal legend, fantastic kirk´s solos. James is in a great condition. For me it´s easy = 10pts ::

I'm listening in streaming on Youtube and from Metallica site eheh.

That's Fucking good Album now. They are come back now.

I can call the band newly METALLICA eheh. I will buy it soon as Possible.

BIG SURPRISE, really the best what Metallica in these days can made ! Forget the disappointment albums St.Anger, Load and Re-load.
My rating : guitar work : 10, vocals : 6 (more aggressive, James, please !), then the result is : EIGHT.

Im sure that this album is better than St anger(in many different ways)
but its a little surprising
I mean Death Magnetic is somehow a little strange for me
This album is good, Im not saying its bad
but i waited something more
for example: James's Voice is little strange, sometimes i barely recognize it!
Drums are little low & sometimes away from the rest (Guitars & Vocals)
maybe the Production isnt too Great
The music & melodies ROCK!
but The Unfogiven III doesnt fit the Trilogy I think..
It's way too far from the Previous 2 Masterpieces, but its nice anyway especially the use of Keyboards at the start
& I like the other Songs, like "Suicide & Redemption" & "The DAy that Never Comes" & the First 2 songs
Anyway, Metallica Did an Excellent work (For Music), and Im not going to judge That by the Production or To Compare it to "...And Justice For All"
or "MAster Of Puppets" or any other work
My Rate is 8
and by the way: GOOD Review

God! I thought you were dead.. AHAHAH!!! Welcome back METALLICA!!!
