Midway Hawker Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Picked it up today. Wow.. Best since And Justice.. Great production, great sound.. Return of the riff masters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the masked drummer Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I listened to it yesterday for the first time and I gotta say, even with my high expectations, I thought it was the best stuff they've ever done. Really raw sounding, yet really cool changes make it interesting and fun. This is the first Metallica album I've bought since master of puppets. They pulled out all the stops and set a new standard of quality imho. I normally can't listen to a whole metallica album at once, but this one is different. Very listenable.

It's on my GH-3 download version...warm and rumbling. It's easily 10 times the sound of the CD version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm not a Metallica fan, but I'm baffled by all this! Why would Metallica release a poorly mixed CD? As with Vapor Trails, it makes no sense! Are the "professionals" involved just inept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm thinking this was a last minute thing done by the record label. The Guitar Hero mix is probably the one they all heard. That one sounds so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaldad Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 it has been a week and a half of death magnetic for me. i really dig it. the few problems i have with it are the production is much better than st.anger but it is a lot like A.J.F.A. where the fu*k is the bass? . i know the link for a better version but why? why can't they release a well produced album? song wise , great except i can do without UNFORGIVEN 3 and SUICIDE AND REDEMPTION. every other song is really good. MASTER OF PUPPETS ? . no, and that's fine. i just wanted a kick ass metal album and i got one my 2 cent's p.s. dumb cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackened Justice Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) Really nice album, easily their best in a very long time. The only things I don't particularly care for are the "This I swear, this I swear, the sun will shine, this I swear" bit in TDTNC, and the whole of S&R just seems very out of place in the legacy of Metallica instrumentals. But an excellent album, it's just a shame that it's clipped as hell. 100% recommended, though. EDIT: Just wanted to add that, after seeing vids of the songs being played live, I'm really stunned over how tight the band is playing the new songs. They should release a live album soon, it's been a while since they've done so. I'll definitely see them the next time they're around, the past 2 times (2007/2008) were both excellent concerts, but there's nothing like experiencing new songs from a new album.

rotting Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'll stick to bands that havnt lost their edge . Maybe all you metallica defenders should check out some new death angel , and see how unpure the new " lica " is . Like st. anger - their just trying to hard to sound like metal again , and metal should be natural - not pushed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnalschick Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I must say I really underestimated them... I didn't think this new one would be any good.

Prime Mover and Shaker Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'm pleasantly surprised. This is quite good - possibly their best effort since Justice. Definitely their best since the black album. With the exception of James' voice, the lyrics, and Lars' choice of snare, it's all there! I have the guitar hero version on CD. The store bought CD is clipped to hell and unlistenable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
