Of special note is the 10-minute instrumental 'Suicide and Redemption': listening to it, you almost forget that there are supposed to be words in rock songs, since it’s filled with building riffs, escalating volleys of tension and release, and moments of frantic drum abandon from Lars Ulrich that should do a lot to redeem his standing in Modern Drummer’s Drummer of the Year polls.
-
Not only does it banish the memory of "St Anger" but it’s easily their best work in 17 years.

Q MagazineProducer Rick Rubin has made Metallica sound like Metallica again. [Nov 2008, p.116]
-
The musicianship feels thrillingly live throughout, and nimble new bassist Robert Trujillo helps, even though he's mostly heard as a distant, ominous rumble.
-
It's a conservative, preservative move by men who needed to reclaim their ground. But playing by those rules, Metallica wins.
-
Metallica certainly have a lot to prove with Death Magnetic, the follow-up to 2003’s "St. Anger," an album which divided the critics and the band’s own audience.
-
The best ones spit in the face of death; this album instead finds aging men trying to reclaim their youth.
