Oh Yeah!
This album is really great. Metallica have finally returned to what they do best - Thrash!
I´m 30 + and I have been kind of a fan since Master of Puppets - i just can´t let them go, even tough they have made their really bad record(s)
I´ve been listening to DM all day, and it seems to keep growing.
"All nightmare long" is my favorite track after the first five spins.

I can´t wait for them to play Europe indoor this spring.

What do you guys think????
Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world.

    It's awesome! We've had some really great threads about it ever since it leaked, so you can get lots of opinions by checking those.

    i really really like this album - i was pumped to hear them return to some of the things they do best like ridiculous solos by kirk, a fast-paced, un steel-drum sounding drumming by lars and some really really heavy tracks

    i was also extremely happy to hear another instrumental as that used to be a staple of metallica albums - this is their finest work (not hard to accomplish) in many years and i absolutely can not wait for the philly shows as i will be on the floor

    "The End Of The Line" does have that "Animal" feel to it. I wouldn't go as far to say Metallica ripped off Pearl Jam, but I do hear similarities. Hell, who doesn't borrow ideas from another band nowadays?

    I'm 30+ as well, and have been a fan since the early 90s. The new stuff reminds me of "And Justice" which is my favorite. "Day That Never Comes" is my favorite from the new album. I'm going to the DC show in Jan 09.

    I got it today to :) it sounds great. It's the first Metallica album I've bought on release day since the Black album, and that was the 3rd in a row. It just sounds like a really great Metallica record :)
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Picked up the CD today for my brother in law. Checked the tracklisting on the back and saw one song is titled Unforgiven III. I thought Unforgiven II was going too far but having a third is just ridiculous.

    Musicly it's nothing like 1 and 2 it's just the lyrics fit with the other two so they called it Unforgiven 3. It's a completley different song, i think it's the weakest on the album actually but it's still not bad.

    unforgiven 3 is a good song, and just cause of its name doesnt mean it takes anything away from the first 2, its fits in pretty well on this album and its hard to find a weakest track cause they all fuckin rock!!

    I think I've listened to this album at least 20 times since it leaked last Tuesday. I can't get enough of it. Broken Beat & Scarred and All Nightmare Long are the best songs... BB&S has such a cool riff, and the drums make all the quirky time changes connect so well. ANL is really unique. The whole album is loaded with outstanding musicianship. These assholes really impressed the fuck out of me with this one.

    Hetfield's voice is mostly what was wrong with Load, Reload and especially St. Anger. And he was just painful to listen to on some of the Garage Inc songs, like Loverman.

    But on Death Magnetic, the Hetfieldisms are at worst just amusing. He does a hilarious growl towards the end of Cyanide. But a lot of the time, his vocals are truly badass. When he sings "WHAT DON'T KILL YA, MAKE YA MORE STRONG!" - i mean, it's looks stupid when you type it out, but it sounds fucking awesome.

    Agree. BB&S and All Nightmare Long are the best tracks!

    i just picked up the album a few minutes ago.... got throught the first 3 songs so far.... not bad compared to the last 2-3 pieces of shit they put out...especially the last one... I have been a Metallica fan since 1982... i have seen them about a dozen times and at one point they were my favorite band. Master of Puppets for me is one of my favorite albums of all time... and still is...

    i hope the rest of this album is good...just need to get used to 7.5 minute song averages again....that is tough!

    I didnt know it was out now... Well todays my day off, and I just got paid. Looks like I'll be heading over to best buy in a few. Just from the one song I'veheard and clips of other songs, it sounds very promising. This is coming from someone who doesn't listen to Metallica....at all.

    Got it last night for just 5 bucks in Hot Topic! (No I was not shopping there, just walking by and saw it).

    Anyway, awesome album. When I first heard The Day That Never Comes I felt kinda disappointed, thinking the album was just another over-hyped mediocre album. But as more songs were being released, and then it leaked, I was really getting into it. Now I must agree, best album since ..And Justice For All. Black is good, but it's the album where they started moving away from what they do best, thrash. This was a much needed return.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    5 bucks that's a steal, $11.99 and just stuck it in to play.
