I'm wondering what album everyone else is listening to? I have tons of Metallica cds from Master to Reload, Garage Days, S&M. There's very little I don't like on each cd. I do think the music on Death Magnet sounds like the "old" days, Black, etc..but the lyrics? Obviously getting off the drugs and getting some counseling has killed the ability to write lyrics that mean something. Unforgiven III - sailing? What? I think better lyrics would be "I don't have anything to sing about now, but I need the money cuz I used it all on drugs. I know my lyrics stink, just call me unforgiven again, again, oh yeah and again." If there were no words to this cd, I'd probaby enjoy it alot more. I've tried to love it, I've tried to give it a break, but I'm ashamed that I bought it for my son's birthday. I should'a gone with his first choice of the new Disturbed cd.

Thank you Metallica. I think we all know in are hearts this is the true follow up to Justice For All.
Rating: - This is a review from a lifetime fan (not because of freaking GH)
This CD is a must buy if your a Metallica fan. I bought this like 3 weeks before it came out on amazon and had first day delivery, but just decided to review it now. This CD is more like earlier albums in a way more than St. Anger, Load or Reload. It features some great songs like All nightmare long, The day that never comes, my apocalypse, the unforgiven 3 and many others. Just take my word for it.....this cd won't let you down. (PS I OWN EVERY Metallica CD)

I'm back. I've been gone a while. If you're new to me... Heyya! Pleased to meet you! Hope you guessed my name! I'm Creeping Deaaaaaaaaaaayaaaaath!
I've got to say 'Thank You' to James, Kirk, Lars, this guy named Rick Rubin and everyone involved in bringing back Metallica. My band Metallica has neglected me for a long time and I've survived this long quiet time. I've had lots of quiet time in the past 15 years or ... maybe more... it's been really quiet. Did I mention how quiet it's been? This CD is not quiet. It's LOUD. It's Metallica. The perfect example is the chaos at the end of `The Day that Never Comes' into the perfection of the intro of `All Nightmare Long'. That's the only way I can explain the feeling I get when I listen to this band at their best.
I stuck with them through some really quiet times, but geez, wouldn't ya know it? This one is SO loud that people are noticing the clipping of the recording. I can agree a little. Ya maybe they could've mastered this one better. My question to those who complain: When was the last time you listened to Ride The Lightning? It wasn't the best sounding master recording was it? It was really well written tho, right??? Some complain the chord progressions and chords are too familiar. Well--- you just can't please EVERYBODY now can you?
I'm really good with this one. I shall say my thanks one more time for so much less QUIET TIME!!
