How do we think about death magnetic?

How do you think about it?

Metallica's newest album Death Magnetic.

I subscribe it as the old metallica in a new jacket.

Its not what i hoped it was, but at least it was good. And way better than st. anger if you compare the metallica-vibe sound.

 

[TDR]

I really like it. I was hoping for something like load-reload or the likes and I was pleasantly surprised for not being so. Of course if you compare them with what they used to do they're nothing special, but fuck it, there are good songs. My favorites are all nightmare long, the judas kiss and my apocalypse. I'll soon buy the album.

the new album is ok

Top 5 Metallica songs

Metallica - The Unforgiven II
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Metallica - Memory Remains
Metallica - St. Anger
Metallica - Ride the lightning

Compared to st. anger it would be hard not to look on the album as a huge succes, compared to everything else, not so much. If this was made by anyone else but Metallica it would not receive any attention at all, it's a very generic and boring album.

Megadeth > Metallica

I fear they will never be able to retrieve they're old sound again, i mean... even if they could, no band has ever really done that. And i don't know if they are capable of doing so.
I already bought it btw, heard it today for the first time ^^

Yeah, its indeed quite generic. But it's quite metallica... but still you're kind off right. It's not a dissapointment though.. let's hope this is a step into the right way for the next album? XD

And... megadeth doesnt own metallica =/

Megadeth = Slow music
Metallica = Fast music

Compared to eachother then, however i also like megadeth. But it doesn't > it.

New metallica sucks. Face it, the good days of Metallica are over, this album was just decent compared to the new ones.

cyanide was my fav

 

[TDR]

people, stop fucking mentioning megadeth every time it's something about metallica, what the fuck is wrong with you?!

new metallica doesn't suck, it's a trend now to say that every old and legendary band sucks nowadays...THEY DON'T SUCK! It's just that people keep comparing new stuff with what they used to do and of course it's not the same, many things changed, but overall it's still good music. So start enjoying music instead of trying to judge it...

The new CD was good enough, could be better, could be worse. Liked best The Unforgiven III

 

[brad.dude03]

I hate it. Hate it. It's fucking terrible, just like all Metallica. TUNE YOUR SNARE LARS YOU PANSY.

Metallica was only good when Cliff Burton was around. They basically started sucking after that, became old men, released St. Anger, the worst album ever made, and now this pile of trash.

 

[Direfury]

Jesus Christ, man. Don't fuckin' rip on Metallica. I was raised listening to it, I still listen to it and i'll be damned if I let another white boy rip on it.

 

[brad.dude03]

Hey. I'm just ripping on present-day Metallica. They had great music in the 80's early 90's when they still did thrash, but they just suck now. Face it. They're old men.

 

[Direfury]

Yeah, but they're METALLICA. Instant win right there.

 

[brad.dude03]

Oh yeah, so St. Anger was instant win, huh? BULLSHIT. It is the single worst album I have ever heard in my life, spawning such hits as 'Some Kind of Monster' and the self-titled track.

OLD MEN NEED TO STAY DEAD UNLESS THEY'RE THE POLICE.

 

[TDR]

1: stop the fucking emo bullshit with "metallica ended the day Cliff died...", that's the lamest thing everyone keeps saying. Sure cliff was cool and made lots of awesome songs but fuck him, I really think Jason was more fitted with Metallica. They made awesome songs after cliff too, the justice album for fucks sake!
2: if you're listening to Metallica just because they're Metallica you're stupid from the start...and it's the same about listening to any band.
3: they're old men, with wifes and children, but they still kick your fucking balls. If you never were at a metallica concert, front row, you aren't allowed to say that! They're still awesome live, and they don't suck.
I didn't liked st. anger, but this album I love it to be honest.

 

[brad.dude03]

No, sorry, Anesthesia is basically the most win Metallica song ever. I will say that though Metallica did make some good music after Cliff had died, it wasn't the same. None the less, all of their best music was in the eighties.

Basically, the self titled album in 1991 was their last really good one. After that, it went to shit.

The only 90's song by Metallica (besides the ones aforementioned) that I can stand to listen to is 'I Disappear'.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Indeed, Metallica's days of legacy are over... i wished i could say that they are back, but they are not.

This is the new Metallica?

So what are they now?

I don't think they suck. Compared to the old albums they indeed change they're style. These new music they make is just cleaner. No trashy like the old ones.
