JoshHOct 15, 2009It still is the best album they've done for about twenty years, but God that's not a difficult thing to achieve. This album does nothing for the imagination though, it's just plain same old Metallica. Nothing special really.

AshP.Sep 13, 2008Sounds like a remake of load till you get to all nightmare long,then you feel like your back to the master of puppets days but only for a brief second,get out of the studio go back to the garage drink some piss and go back to where it all started,and we might have some hope of getting the seek and destroy days back.

BigDSep 18, 2008I don't have much to say just that since cliff died metallica have never been the same, never will be and never can be. He made the band, made so many of the riffs and since dieing they've lost it. O well least the first 4 albums are good. R.I.P Cliff.

MickT.Sep 25, 2008It's alright. Better than Load and so forth. Another band destroyed by overexposure. Metallica eponymous was their swan song. What happened to the winding mystery. To much straight ahead, not enough story. I by chance listened to #9, the suicide instrumental and I hoped the rest would be better. It wasn't. Dumbed down Metallica.

tankJ.Jan 16, 2009Two great songs. The rest sounds like the same stuff you have already heard from Metallica.

SkylerR.Sep 16, 2008It was definitely better than St.Anger it could have been a hell of a lot better. I don't think they are using Lars to his full potential. All in all its a decent album not great but it didn't suck

May 10, 2011While the album certainly has its moments, it's hardly the return to glory form that I was expecting. Worth listening to but it's mostly just a collection of recycled material.

Jun 5, 2019Death Magnetic is the expected return of the Metallica of always: the Thrasher Metallica.
Death Magnetic works well. However, the duration of it and some uninspired songs thanks to a insufficient James Hetfield and a tasteless guitar make this album a right return that could be better. -
Jan 21, 2022In my opinion marks the start of the decline of the band. Very boring and common riffs, uninspired lyrics and playing. One of the worst product of the band.

Sometimes the album's mini-epics come off as we've still got it! stunts. But when it's working, the effect is like ceding your senses to a particularly well-engineered roller coaster in the dark.

The best ones spit in the face of death; this album instead finds aging men trying to reclaim their youth.
-
The musicianship feels thrillingly live throughout, and nimble new bassist Robert Trujillo helps, even though he's mostly heard as a distant, ominous rumble.
