I've listened to pretty much the whole cd. And it is fucking great. Not all the way back to the 80's but I would easily say it's better than the Black Album. So here's my vote for best new song "All Nightmare Long". The riffage is pretty solid, Lars plays some good double bass, and even though the solo isn't rediculous shredding, it's longer than 30 seconds like the other songs. this is the song that brings me back the pre 90's days definately.

I can't choose a favorite yet. I definitely like most of the songs a lot and will be playing this a good deal.

this came out officially?

wait i just noticed the thread title. blarg

It leaks like a raped rectum.

I've only heard two of the new songs, namely "Cyanide" and "My Apocalypse". They both appear to be a step in the right direction, but the way I see it, Metallica are more businessmen than musicians anymore; they seem to play music more with the interest of selling albums rather than any kind of artistic purpose.
I think the whole idea of trying to make a thrash album again was just an attempt to win back the old fans who turned their backs on them, kinda like "Okay, if you all pay 18 bucks for the new album, we'll start playing fast again - deal?"
Plus James Hetfield seems to have completely lost his ability to sing; he really sounds horrible now.

old band is oooooold

"This album isn't worth shit compared to their previous albums. But hey, at least it's better than St. CRAPPER, AMIRITE?"

-Virtually every review for Death Magnetic

i'll give this album a chance if i can get it for free. but i ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to pay for it.

I have listened to it. There are some really good parts to it, and some mediocre parts. Very little makes me ill. It is better than the Black album or anything that has come since. I can picture this being what "should" have followed Justice. It would have sat better with fans in 1991, although it would not be on par with any of the previous ones.

Do not want.

no thanks.

I'm standing by my choice of "Suicide & Redemption" as my favorite. But it's definitely on shit-hoagie level. And since I'll probably post it in the other thread... here is everybody's consolation prize:

RIDE THE LIGHTNING
vinyl rip @ 33 1/3 rpm aka the heaviest album ever
