oh yeah, with out a doubt.

i forgot about the Creeping Death single cover though...that was pretty badass.

Agreed, that was the best artwork & logo design theyve ever had.

Outside of just flat out not caring for them though, Im with mc on their old covers for the most part too.

MOP was probably the best looking, but all in all, I dont think any of them were out and out spectacular.

You know what I think is bad about it, the straight lines outlining the coffin. Nothing else on that page is straight except that. The inside should have been drawn as well.

Two seconds of work, and, while not amazing, it's better—I think.

Leave the coffin white, and I think you have something.

I have created an illustration of the inspiration of the Death Magnetic cover. Enjoy.

once again, your artistic talents have been put to good use.

That's funny and all, but did you have to use that pic of my sister? You know she's sensitive about her XXXX-L panties

Im amazed Lars survived that.

That was pretty deep, Eyesore. I kind of agree though. I've heard people say everything after Master of Puppets sucked, but I'm pretty sure they've never even heard most of it and are just following the crowd.

Some good discussions and great laughs so far in this thread. Thanks. That said, I liked the sample and am definately looking forward to this new album. Peace.

Yeah, I agree that none of the Metallica album covers were really all that. The t-shirt designs from Pushead were always the best artwork under the Metallica logo. They should have used them to design their anal bum covers.

Those wouldve been some badass covers.

According to Blabbermouth.net, this is meant to be the track listing:

01. Death Magnetic
02. That Was Just Your Life
03. The End of the Line
04. Broken, Beat & Scarred
05. The Day That Never Comes
06. All Nightmare Long
07. Cyanide
08. The Unforgiven III
09. The Judas Kiss
10. Suicide & Redemption
11. My Apocalypse

... but knowing blabbermouth, this is probably a load of shite.

I love both, but like the original better. The solo in the original is one of my favorite Metallica solos. With that said, I hope the music is different in this one. The first two were similar, I don't know how they could pen another as similar as those without it being stale.

That said, maybe it just follows a similar lyrical theme and won't even be mellow. Could be the heaviest song on the album.

I cant wait to hear the new single. definetly looking forward to unforgiven III.

The last Metallica album I was really "into" was ...And Justice For All, it was also my least favorite up to that point. I remember walking into my local record store in 1983 when Kill 'Em All came out and buying the album just for the cover art. To this day my favorite album is Ride The Lighting, there was an energy to those first couple records that they never quite equaled. Master of Puppets was definitely a great album, but there was a spark to their music that started to get lost around that period.

All I can say about Death Magnetic is that I'll give it a listen when it comes out...but it's been 20 years since Metallica released anything that inspired me...let's just say I'm not exactly holding my breath for the new album.

Its been confirmed.
the track listing is:

01. That Was Just Your Life
02. The End Of The Line
03. Broken, Beat & Scarred
04. The Day That Never Comes
05. All Nightmare Long
06. Cyanide
07. The Unforgiven III
08. The Judas Kiss
09. Suicide & Redemption
10. My Apocalypse

A few radio stations here in Vegas have played 2 songs off this new album already and a few internet stations are playing others. I have heard 1 song already and it was lame. Not sure on the title. It sounded like leftovers from Load/Reload witha few old school ideas thrown in. The vocals were a bit better but James still tries to sound like Merle Haggard or Bjoro Haaland.

the unforgiven three!

i am worried now i am really worried

Really? I imagine if even one radio station played a song it would have been recorded somehow and would be all over the net by now. I don't see mention of any full song being played anywhere.
