Editorial Review:

One of the most influential bands in music, ranked eighth on the list of the biggest-selling groups in history, Metallica unveils its ninth studio album, Death Magnetic. The band's
first album in five years, Death Magnetic is also its first with renowned producer Rick Rubin (Danzig, Slayer, System Of A Down,
Slipknot), first with bassist Robert Trujillo, and first on Warner Bros. Heavy and thrashy, unafraid to embrace the band's past yet move
into the future.

HOWEVER! They BOTCHED what would have been a 4 Star album by over producing all of the elements and clipping the music sound waves. The result is an album that sounds very flat, one dimensional, and... more info

I tried:

The last album by Metallica I can say that I liked was the Black Album. Yes I'm one of the people that doesn't like anything they have done since. In some ways I can appreciate what this album supposedly sets out to do which is recapture that thrash sound they have been missing for almost two decades.

"...And Justice For All" also contained long drawn out song... more info
