Metallica's new album

[treyj]

so I just wanted to see what people thought of the new metallica album

 

Well people who listen to them at least.

 

 

They recently release their new album "death magnetic"

 

I for one love it.

 

I think it is actually my favorite by them.

 

more like their old albums.

 

back to their metal roots :]

I used to be an absolute die hard Metallica fan, not so much anymore though. However, judging by the single thats out, its pretty good.

 

Although I've heard the digital mastering and production of the album isn't very good.

the CD quality is horrible

they compressed the songs and it sounds bad.

 

you can get good copies off the internet though

I've looked, and believe me, there is no "good copy" of this album. The Guitar Hero versions are a full 10dB softer, but still don't even hold a flame production wise to past albums. To give you an idea, here's a comparison I did in Pro Tools from The Black Album to Death Magnetic.

 

Here is a comparison of the new single "The Day That Never Comes" to "Nothing Else Matters" from their 1991 S/T.

 

Both songs start soft and build to loud climaxes. 10 bucks to anyone that can point out to me where that happens in "The Day That Never Comes.

Id say its more Black Album Old. Not Master of Puppets Old. And definitely not Kill em All old.

Uh huh. Check this out and listen to the difference. Click the "Interactive Graphic" tab. I know not the most user friendly. What do you expect from the Wall Street Journal?

I like it, but I'm not a huge fan. That being said I have never been a huge Metallica fan. I do have a lot of friends that love Metallica though and I have heard some very mixed reviews about it.
