Editorial Review:
One of the most influential bands in music, ranked eighth on the list of the biggest-selling groups in history, Metallica unveils its ninth studio album, Death Magnetic. The band's first album in five years, Death Magnetic is also its first with renowned producer Rick Rubin (Danzig, Slayer, System Of A Down, Slipknot), first with bassist Robert Trujillo, and first on Warner Bros. Heavy and thrashy, unafraid to embrace the band's past yet move into the future.

After seeing the fallout of the band's recording on "Some Kind of Monster", I fully understood the raw sound of that album. Don't get me wrong, it was very heavy; and, unlike most other fans, I thoroughly enjoyed that album; but it was not the Metallica... more info
Bob Rock should be hung! I was very sceptical, and have stayed away from buying Death Magnetic based on the last 15 years of Metallica music. Then I heard the album from start to finish this weekend. I went out and picked it up the next morning. The first 4 albums are excellent, and they were produced by Flemming Rasmussen. Then Bob Rock came in and turned the "good Metallica" switch off. Now Rick Rubin has been brought in and finally, the masterpiece that should have followed "...And Justice For All". Rick Rubin is a... more info
