The problem isn't that it's too different or too much of the same. The problem is that when it's the same, It just doesn't hold compare and when it's different, It just can't stand on it's own two feet. If this had been any other band, I still wouldn't like it. If this album was as fucking awesome as some of you guys say, there would be far less complaining. I'm thrilled that people do love it. Good for them but people also liked Star Wars Episode 1. When something is quality, People will acknowledge it. That's why SW:Episode 3 had a better reception than the first two prequels, because it was a much better film. If Metallica ever makes a kickass album the "oh I liked Metallica all along" people will come out in droves.

I don't get why you think there must be something wrong with the people that don't like it. Yeah, It must be we're haters or something because there's no way a normal person could ever dislike something. I envy you guys, At least you have something new to listen to. All us haters have to go listen to something else.

I've listened to most of the album so far. It's going to suck playing some of these songs in Guitar Hero..

I just listened to the entire album, and I just can't fucking believe that this is the same band that made Kill'em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for all. That era of Metallica is without a doubt the 4 best albums ever produced by any group ever. I still listen to at least one of those albums every day. I will never get tired of those albums, but everything after that is complete trash, and this is no different. This album sucks some shit.

When people talk about Metallica's music I don't even consider anything they made after 1988 to be their music.

Seriously. I'm convinced half of the people bashing this album only bash it with the past work in mind. On it's own, this album is good. I'm about 10 listens into it and it gets better everytime I hear it. I think this is the best thing they've done in a long, long time. (FWIW, I thought the Black Album was good, not great. Load, Reload and St. Anger pissed me off like so many other people..total rubbish)

I think it's sad that people get so stuck in the past that they can't allow a band to evolve. Music is not stagnant, it evolves.

I've listened to it about 10 times as well start to finish and for me it also gets better every time. The album kicks so much ass. It is just as heavy as anything they have ever done and it brings a new style for them as well.

The album is rifftastic. There are jams, breakdowns, awesome bridges, and great choruses.

The rest of these songs are awesome but The Day That Never Comes is still my favorite. They're definitely growing on me the more I listen to them (just like St. Anger, just not nearly as steep of a listening curve ha ha ha).

This is what I don't get! It's ok for you to hate Load, Reload, and St. Anger even though other people liked them, but when you like an album it's somehow we're the ones bashing an album just because it doesn't compare to some of the absolute best thrash metal of all time. It doesn't have to compare, As proven by Megadeth last year. None of those songs were the next Peace Sells or Hanger 18 but the album is considered their best in years.

Now, I'm sure there are people out there that have ONLY heard singles and assume that EVERYTHNG needs to have the same broad appeal. You can probably let those people listen to something like Blackened or The Thing That Should Not Be and tell them it's a new single and they'd hate it. I'd hold the people on TFP a little higher than that. You like the album and that's awesome. I don't really like it and I'm not alone. The thread title asked "Do you like it?" I didn't know there was a wrong answer.

The album isn't a total loss, but neither was Load, Reload, or St. Anger.. It's just nowhere near the early stuff.

Taking a break from the new stuff and listening to the Black Album. I just don't get what people didn't like about it. It is perfect in its own way. It's not just that the songs are awesome (they are) but everything sounds perfect.

I have listened to 6 of the tracks in full on the album now and this is just some sick, amazing shit. I love it more and more. If being a Metallica whore is wrong, I don't want to be right, because this is just good stuff. Please give these songs a good, full listen at Metallica.com and see if you like them - I think a lot of you will be surprised!!!!!

Metallica.com

A very unique sound!!!!! Catch the end of All Nightmare Long - it's fucking SICK!!!!

I took a long, hard look at the CD in target the other day (they had it on sale for $10 and I had a gift certificate). I never bought St. Anger, so I no longer have their entire discography and I wasn't quite able to make myself get it.

it's infinity x better than St. Anger. Seriously, $10 (or free, with your gift certificate) is TOTALLY worth it

I haven't listened to the whole album, but have heard several songs on the radio.

My first impression is that it's a huge step up from st. anger. The riffs and drums sound much better overall.

The things I don't really care for are the solos, lyrics and vocals. Jame's voice just sounds shot which he can't really help I suppose, but the lyrics don't seem to flow or give you that vivid imagery that his older songs gave. They just sound like a bunch of 'evil' words thrown together to make them sound hardcore again.

Kirks solos sound rather boring, like he just noodled something in one take and wanked on the wah peddle.

Overall the songs left a bad taste in my mouth, but I hope it will grow on me. I want to enjoy their music again.

I was listening to the whole thing at work last week (iPod) and I think t's good.

Certainly after only a couple of listens I like it more than StA.

So.. Like I said, some of the songs would suck to play on guitar hero.. Turns out the Guitar hero versions of the album is better quality than the CD. You just gotta ignore those beeps and blips when you miss a note. One of my original complaints, besides the generic sound of the album was that it was fooking loud. Turns out, The CD is about 10db higher and the compression washed out the dynamic range which means turning the volume up gives a nice, unnerving ROAR. This article Analysis: Metallica's Death Magnetic Sounds Better in Guitar Hero | Listening Post from Wired.com pretty much explains it. If you own the album, do yourself a favor and download the high quality GH rips and hear the difference. You can actually turn the volume up without being blasted with distorted noise.

I figure this would be a good place to ask this question, but I'm kind of new to Metallica and I like this album. By the sounds of it, there are better ones out there, which one in your opinion should I get next? (I'm asking anyone that would like to respond)

Start with Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for All. And then work your way back, and then work your way forward. I don't like much beyond the Metallica album.

Be sure you have time when you first play Master of Puppets. It will probably stop you in your tracks. It's their masterpiece.

Though I must say, I like Justice better for certain tracks. It's just that Puppets was a huge breakthrough in their music.

I d/l'd FLACs of teh GH3 versions last weekend. They are interesting. Like you said, the volume is much lower, this results in less distortion. Also, both of the GH3 versions of teh instrumental are different than the album version. The annoying thing about the GH3 versions is that there isn't a lot of consistency on the volume levels, especially with overdubs. Overall, the album needs to be remastered but I won't hold my breath.

I say start with Ride the Lightning. It blows away everything else they did.

While not overall my favorite album, I would agree that Master of Puppets is without question the album you should start with and then move away from it in both directions. Puppets->Lighting+Justice->Kill 'em All+Black Album->Load->ReLoad->St. Anger->Death Magnetic. If you're like some of us, you might just stop with the third iteration and ignore anything past the Black Album, but as I'm sure you've noticed from this thread, there are a lot of disagreements about the merits of later Metallica.
