death magnetic is one of their better albums since the black album

Hey, I really have enjoyed Death Magnetic, though I am definitely not a Metallica die hard... it just sounds like they sweated over song structure, and are genuinely interested in making a challenging album...which is more than can be said for their Load and Reload era...

Was Not Bad cant say i was toooo impressed but not bad

It was a worthy effort I thought... in spite of the whole rehashing their old style thing... I still like it!

most everyone says the same thing. . . its better than their load and reload albums but it doesnt even compare to MoP and RtL

A fair assessment I think... this thread is thus getting a little old and stale...

The poll might have been more revealing if it had people rate the album on a scale of 1-5 or 1-10.

It's no classic, but it doesn't suck. I reserve that term for anything with a score of 2 or less out of 5. Anyway, here's how I'd rate the individual tracks:
1. Cyanide 4/5
2. The Judas Kiss 4/5
3. Broken, Beat, and Scarred 4/5
4. My Apocalypse 3/5
5. All Nightmare Long 2.5/5
6. That Was Just Your Life 2.5/5
7. The End of The Line 2.5/5
8. Suicide and Redemption 2.5/5
9. The Unforgiven III 1/5
10. The Day that Never Comes 1/5

Come on. This is about the heaviest these old farts are gonna' get. Would I choose to listen to it? Probably not. I disowned them when the black album came out, but I'd call the album, at the least a step in the right direction.

"about the heaviest these old farts are going to get"

hahahahaha... damn straight! Its funny cause its true!

My favourite track is All Nightmare Long and I like the whole album. No way do I love it like ...And Justice for All which is my favourite, but I like it the more I listen to it.

I'm glad it wasn't another St. Anger.
