    Man, that album is a joke. Dont know what all the fuss was about in the first place when this was the result. They should pack it in before they destroy their legacy any further.

    On that note cant wait to see Megadeth next Feb.

    Thats an "I lulz" moment if i ever i saw one! Cos all of Megadeth's later albums are deadly! :rolleyes:

    Seriously tho, its pretty pointless saying you dont like something without giving your view on it. Why do you think it is a joke?

    The video doesnt fit with the video at all by the looks, seems more like Hey this a pretty cool film clip im gonna ruin it by placing music on top of it.

    I thought a I Disappear sort video of a number of bad things happening in in between the Your Luck Runs out would of suited better

    I just think the Death magnetic is really boring record,

    and lyrics specially in Unforgiven III song are really afwul.

    It is a shame really to say this, since I have listened Metallica over 18 years and I do even like St Anger:)

    But with the new record, songs are long but there is nothing interesting to hear.

    Are you sure you have been listening to Metallica for 18 years? Since when has Hetfield been inspirational with lyrics?

    From Kill 'Em All:
    Leather and metal are our uniforms
    protecting what we are
    Joining together to take on the world
    with our heavy metal

    From Ride the Lightning
    Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
    Armageddon is here, like said in the past

    Ive never listened to Metallica for the lyrical content. Ive listened to them because the music great!

    As for DM, now that the dust has settled, Ive dont listen to any tracks beyond Cyanide. The first 6 songs on the album are great but the rest are weak IMO.

    Yep. It's a pretty good album but the last few tracks slouch a bit. But most Pantera albums are the same, and they're still great, so it's a forgivable crime :)

    I think suicide and redemption is a really good tune... great solo's... i don't think there is a bad song on the album but at the same thime there is no instant classic.

    That's a fair point, but for me it works in the albums favour.
    It better helps to keep the album as a complete piece.

    And not some SOAD style mess of left over demo tapes.

    Or the fact that there's more to bitch about Death Magnetic than there is Chinese Democracy.

    Not agreeing or disagreeing, but your statement doesn't exactly hold any substance, in fairness. :)

    ah, but if you count all the negative and positive reactions, then work that out as a ratio and compare it to the chinese demo thread there will be scientific proof that DM is better than CD.
