The Official Metallica - Death Magnetic Thread

I'm not downloading it from Demonoid or anything like that. No way. This is a download I fear. Haha.

I liked the music from that video

Someone uploaded for me. I'm listening to "That Was Just Your Life" and I'm pretty shocked. This really is an old school Metallica song. It's definitely done in the "new" Metallica way, but this is easily the most old school song they've done since Justice. Maybe there are more like it.

And yeah, the production is fine. They must have uploaded rough mixes or something, because it's rare that songs translate so badly these days, at least on multiple platforms.

First song is killer, though.

plenty of "Justice" moments... "All Nightmare Long" especially. my favorite song of the bunch.

I am waiting till' it is released - Shame on you guys! :


Eyesore - You are going to be a good boy, mand purchase the thing when it is released, right? :kickbutt:

Pretty good. Can't believe it really.

This one, sure. No way was I going in blind after St. Anger.

So this isn't entirely old school, but it's really good album. I didn't hear the damn killer solo from the Mission Metallica trailer, though! That one was sweet; I wonder what happened to it. Maybe I missed it.

But yeah, a very surprising album. Way faster and heavier than I expected, that's for sure.

Listen before it disappears:

Lars should stick that snare drum up his ass. Ruins a good song.

They're given too much control in the studio. I realize they're successful, have money, and can get/do whatever they want, but a real producer would tell them they're wrong and to shut up and play.

This snare really isn't that bad, though.

ah man its a shame it leaked already. how the hell does it happen i dont know.

on another note the new song on youtube is very good i must say

also i was able to get tickets to see metallica in london this month ha hah a hah ah

When compared to Stank Anger, no.

i dont think it sounds that bad

Easily the best thing they've done since The Black Album.

im tempted to download it but im not gonna do it...nope no way....

If you have ever wanted a virus that would slowly eat at your computer's BIOS, I'm positive that it is attached to whatever file that is called "Death Magnetic" at this point.

The songs sound great so far - can't wait to get the real release!

Interesting, that guitar harmony part near the end has a little bit of a Thin Lizzy vibe going on.

What I've heard is better but overall still not great.

And I still don't like Lars' drum sound at all.

Lars' sound is too up front. It almost sounds mechanical, but I know it isn't. He's really terrible you know.

Everysong is up on YouTube - I was able to listen to every song while working this AM (thank God no conference calls today!!!). My initial impressions are that I really like what I have heard - they almost could have released this between AJFA and the Black Album. After I buy it, I'm sure my opinion will change as I listen to it more. In the meantime, it's really good.
