    You know... it's so obvious that men see a vagina on the cover. Seems like they stop thinking - meaning the album's title.
    And U must admit it - the cover is not so BIG art - it so easy to see there a coffin and magnetic field.

    Anyway, the new songs from youtube... mmm... maybe i will pay more attention to their music in this album? It sounds really interesting

    This album could either reinvigorate them, or be the final "nail in the coffin" (no pun intended) for Metallica.

    I'm expecting the latter...



    I dont expect it to be a nail in the coffin...not with Rick Rubin producing it....Look at how many records and careers hes saved

    wow...song has such potential but it sounds like nobody is telling them certain parts suck and need to be changed
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

  • Glad to see they are going with the original/classic logo.

    I agree. I also agree that it looks like a vagina. The album title is pure cheese... They should've gone with "St Anger", now THAT would never ooze cheese... oh wait...
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    It may look like a vagina because Lars is a c*nt

    How about just 'Oozy cheese'?

    Or 'Magnetic cheese'?

    Or 'Death Manchego'?

    At least it looks better than "St. Failure."

    I think they should just go the whole hog and call it "Deathica Magnetica".
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Apparently last weeks Kerrang came with a cd of Iron Maiden covers, including one by Metallica.(an iron maiden cover not One by Metallica);)

    On July 16, 2008, James Hetfield commented on the album's title:
    “ Death Magnetic, at least the title, to me [...] started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically — rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there. Thinking about death… some people are drawn towards it, and just like a magnet, [and] other people are afraid of it and push away. And the concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about — no one wants to bring it up; it's the big white elephant in the living room. But we all have to deal with it at some point. ”
    —James Hetfield


    I'm not a Metallica fan in any way but it's cool that J.H mentions Layne.
