Have to agree Stu. Managed to download it (illegally of course) about three weeks ago now and its been on the iPod, in the car, everywhere. It's a real case of getting back to what they were bloody good at. Ordered the CD from Amazon today (before anyone moans I've been a knock off nigel!)
Current favourite track is Suicide & Redemption. Absolutely thunderous main riff which has been banging through my head and I've been humming it for nearly a week now. Could quite of easily of found itself alongside Orion on the Master of Puppets album.
Definitely their best album since the untitled black album and very close in my opinion to their best work since 1987 when And Justice for All was released.
Les >> how did you get hold of the 02 tickets. Are you in their fan club or did you manage to get them from elsewhere?
signed up for free membership at the beginning of last week. that was the final category for ticket sales after the proper fan club members bought theirs. guess i was lucky. up in the top tier right at the back though. still, should be a top gig.
Death Magnetic is a great album. Not quite a return to form on the level of Justice or Puppets, but an excellent album after the turd that was St Wanker. Lars no longer sounds like he's hitting dustbin lids instead of a snare and there is some quality riffage all the way through the album. Sort of like what they should have sounded like between Justice and the Black album.
I've got a copy of it. It's a great album, which surprised me after St Anger. I think saying it's their best work is a bit far fetched, I don't think they will ever top master of puppets. Some of the lyrics are a bit poor as well.
They've released a music video for each track already. Sounds very, very good. A mix between Death Magnetic/Justice but with a feeling of Load and Reload in there too.
Metallica are my all time favourite band so this has been a long time coming!
