Death Magnetic

His vocals over the last few years haven't been as great as they were in the 80's and 90's......may be due to stage wear and aging, but I don't think he's intentionally trying to hold anything back. I miss some of the power he had in the 90's, it's especially noticeable on the S&M album....

Ok, so the other day i bought Death Magnetic. And although it beat St. Anger it was still pretty ****...

What do you think??

A little off subject, but the last post reminded me of how much I liked the S&M album because it was the only Metallica album we could listen to on road trips and stuff as a family. My mom would put "For Whom the Bell Tolls" on repeat. It was weird, but completely awesome too! lol. It brings back good memories.

Might make some sense if he said get lost, instead of be.

im thinking its like a metaphor mayhaps ya i have no clue. but who's to say Hetfield WILL get lost. than we'll see how much the lyrics make sense.

its better than something like...
"How can i not be not lost, if i've got not nowhere to not go"
now that makes no sense

Get a ****ing life. Honest to God.

/agree

At first glance, I thought it was okay, but I went back and listened to a few tracks, and they fucking sucked. Even if they brought the sound back to '91, Rick Rubin sure fucked it up.

Death Magnetic is great album^^, I love it!It's better then St.Anger!

They didn't set the bar very high with St. Anger. Maybe that was their plan - make one of the worst albums ever made, so that for everything they make afterwards, people will say "at least its not St. Anger." And then they sell millions of copies.

Death Magnetic is pretty good overall. All Nightmare Long and Judas Kiss are awesome, and they have some of the best choruses in any Metallica song.
