Sorry for the bump, but i had to, i just got this album "Death Magnetic", and i have to say, its okay, its got a few good songs, they don't sound like the recent albums, and are going back to their old ways (the good ways).
Have to say, sound quality is not the best, especially if you get it from iTunes. They always screw a good album up. They went back to the old logo, which is a fair plus, i think, which means they are going back to their old sound.
Lots of good shredding solos, pretty good overall.
7/10 by me.
oh, by the way, this is the album cover, in case you were wondering.
i usually don't necropost (in fact, never) but this is different, since this came out yesterday.
tl;dr, its better than st. anger. a billion times better.
