Metallica lite? Only if you're a basement dwelling clown who clings to your denim jacket and permed mullet.

They haven't been the Metallica you run yourself to since Cliff died. Its a sad thing, but it happened.

We need a "Spam of the Year" category in the year enders.

Ugh, Death Magnetic was the pinnacle of mediocrity. Borderline sh*t is what it was. James used to be a decent singer in the 80s. Now he can't stop doing that stupid blues singer crap. The riffs and drumming were dull and the production makes me want to puke. Seriously, AJFA sounds fantastic in comparison and it has the 2nd worst production. It's got energy, something the last few albums had lacked, but not enough to save it. It really is just a cocktease of their 80s material and rather than wanting to make you listen to more of Death Magnetic, it makes you want to listen to their earlier material.

Either that or a better band.

Wuzzly is completely right. Metallica went downhill with Death Magnetic.

I didn't say they went downhill with DM, they went down way before that (Black Album basically marks when they started going down). If anything, DM brought them up. Just that it brought them up by very little.

They went downhill long before Death Magnetic. Load, Reload and St. Anger were progressively worse albums than what went before and the band's dignity disappeared with each of them. When St. Anger was released the backlash was immense, people thought it was the worst thing they had ever heard. Death Magnetic was a vast improvement in comparison, but as was said, is still a jumble of mediocrity compared to their 80's output and seems nothing more than a shallow throwback.

Can you tell me which is that bad about The Black album?! That is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. I hate it when people hate something due to their preconceptions. Metallica were sellouts, they changed their style, and such bull****. Of course they'll change, and they won't be like Slayer and Iron Maiden who are ''loyal to their fans'' and play the exact same thing for more than 30 years. Stop being limited and stop bitching about it. Of course AJFA and Master are their best, but that doesn't mean that the others are such crap at all. That man said it best:
