Death Magnetic is there best since Puppets. Also the most technically/musically interesting they've ever done. Odd time signatures awawawawawghI will always love MetallicA. Even the shit fests of Bob Rock!

Do You Folks Like Coffee?
Real Coffee,
From the Hills Of Colombia?
The Duncan Hills awake you
from a thousand deaths.
A cup of blackened blood.
(Die, Die)
You're dying for a cup.
EdwardDean1999, I'm going to sound like a rude asshole but shut the fuck up please. Death Magnetic is a failed abortion. Each song is a total wankfest, Lars Ulrich still can't drum for the life of himself, the lyrics are inane, Hetfield is Auto-Tuned into fucked oblivion, and the overall album is a sonic assault in a bad way.
My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
That was a little harsh man. You don't have to tell him to shut the fuck up because he liked the album and you didn't. Though you're entitled to your own opinion and I can respect that.
By my name I'm sure you can tell that I like Metallica. I personally thought Death Magnetic was a huge step up from St. Anger. I don't even think I've listen to those songs in months and months. The DM songs blend really well with the older stuff, as was illustrated when I saw them in live in December

Could they have really done worse then St. Anger if they tried?
Well, if they are using Auto-Tune on Hetfield's vocals, the answer is yes. To me, Auto-Tune is the musical equivalent of athletes on steroids. It's just flat-out cheating. If you can't hit the fucking note, don't sing the fucking song. I don't care one way or another if people like Britney or Miley Cyrus use it. Most people know they're frauds anyway, but when people like Metallica that put themselves over as "real musicians" use it, that's a bunch of bullshit. It's a half-step above being Milli Vanilli.Could they have really done worse then St. Anger if they tried?

Highly doubt it!! I love them, but that album was literally painful to listen to
I don't really know much about this whole autotune thing, but James sounded great to me in concert as well so I dunno.
Yes, I have no idea what auto tone is, but they he sounded great when I saw them too.
St. Anger made me want to send James a fifth and a note telling him he needed it.
Auto-Tune is a vocal processing effect used in the recording studio which corrects pitch problems in vocal and instrumental performances. In short, if a singer misses a note, Auto-Tune fixes it. In short, it's cheating. If a singer sounds good live, it's even more of a reason to question why he/she would use Auto-Tune in the studio.
Because they can hit the note, but can't be bothered to do so?
I know you meant it sarcastically, but I suspect that's an accurate answer in many cases.
But I think in this case the involvement of autotune had more to do with Rick Rubin, the producer if I remember reading my facts correctly. From what I recall he didn't want James to worry about being technically correct so much as creating a certain vibe, or something along those lines. So when mixing they would sometimes pick the one that they simply liked better as opposed to whatever sounded technically the best. Plus James and the drummer Lars weren't there when they mixed it, and they usually are. Maybe that might have something to do with it as well. But I don't know exactly at what point autotune would come into play, so I can't say for sure.
I absolutely
LOVE
Metallica.
I discovered them when I was thirteen, about 8 years ago.
I really like their new album, it makes up for St. Anger. I really like The Unforgiven III. Then again, James Hetfield has an amazing singing voice.
Favorite CD is probably Load, because although I like the Black album better, I wore it out. Off of Load, "Bleeding Me" and "The Outlaw Torn" really grabbed me. When I was younger and was reading the DT books, probably right when Wolves of the Calla came out, I would sit in my room, reading them over and over, and listening to my stereo. The CD's that I had in the changer were NIN's the Fragile, Metallica's Load, Metallica's Black Album, and Tori Amos' Boys for Pele. Mainly the Fragile and most of the songs off Load make me always think of the Gunslinger, especially The Outlaw Torn.
I also like the earlier thrash stuff, like The Four Horsemen.
Also, the cover that they did of Loverman turns me on.
St. Anger made me want to send James a fifth and a note telling him he needed it.
Fuckin' BRUTAL, man! You're sick...and I LOVE that about you!
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Ok...I really haven't posted here and I am ashamed. I am turning over a new leaf...but remember that I am an old man and Metallica is, in my POV, part of the new wave of metal. I recall the DJ on the King Biscuit Flower Hour's show M-m-m-m-metalshop! (que buzz saw sound) introducing this brand new, upstart band, Metallica. Great name I thought...then the DJ played The Small Hours...I was hooked! (yes, DJ not VJ.)
My favorite Metallica song; Ride the Lightning!!!!!!
I just gets my blood boiling...it pounds me into the ground. I feel much like I did in the days when I was taking acid regularly. The song makes me feel as if I could destroy a tank if someone doesn't chain me down!! (No damn chains can hold me to the ground!)
When I was tripping, no one would play football with me...and I am small.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
METALLICA!!
I've been listening to Metallica since I was nine, now it's my second favorite band, just below Sabbath. On any given day I could have a different favorite album of there's. But it's always between Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for all. Though it's usually Master. But I HATE HATE HATE! Load, Reload, and St. Anger. Just not Metal. But I liked Death Magnetic, I thought it was better than the Black Album.
The first album I ever bought was saint anger, I was 13 years old
It changed my life, I hadnt really been into music at all but that album opened my eyes
Despite most metalheads despising that album it holds a special place in my heart, as do the next 2 albums I bought after it: Load and Reload
Of course I also later got ahold of their early masterpieces so I understand the way people feel about them but I bought their catalogue backwards so Im weird like that
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
I was on the tractor digging up rocks around the property and had my ipod set to Blackend. I was jammin', off in space, and damn near ran the damned tractor into the creek. This is not just a small creek. The banks are about 10 feet high. It would have been bad. Do you think Hetfield would have bought me a new tractor?
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

That is amazing!! I love Metallica also
I believe reflections bleed the sorrows of our souls...
Currently listening to Sanitarium... love this song
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
First of all this thread needs to be bumped. Die hard fans may cringe, but I am a Fade to Black girl. Yeah, I know most folks think the Fade to Black was a sell out but that was a solid record. Even though I am pretty sure I had that sh*t on cassette.
People are always talking about truth.Everybody knows what the truth is,like it was toilet paper or somethin...All there is is bull*...One layer of bullshit on top of another...what you do in life...pick the layer of bull* that you prefer...
I've never heard sellout and Metallica in the same sentence unless somebody was talking about the Black Album.
Fade to Black is a solid song IMO although every time I hear it I think about the time Hetfield got burned on stage during that song.
