So I’ve heard it….hmmm.

I can’t say that’s it’s bad. Other bands would probably kill to make a record like Death Magnetic, but this is Metallica. This is the band that created the masterpieces Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets. So, I also can’t say it’s good.

I was getting a bit giddy through the first song…I thought we might have a winner, but then the rest of the album started proving what I had figured was going to happen. Each song had a strong part, and a weak part…at least it was consistant.

Basically, what it stems down to is: the dudes in Metallica are older, no longer all that angry and have more money than Jesus, so they write different music now. I guess that’s alright. I still love them for the first 4 or 5 albums that they created (and Garage Days Re-Revisited…which is brilliant).

So, let’s all enjoy a blast from the past and hope that they all go bankrupt.
