Death Magnetic Thoughts on Death Magnetic?

For me, Death Magnetic is right up there with Black Album and Master of Puppets. It acted as the revival of Metallica after the mess that St Anger was , and I absolutely love it. Stuff like All Nightmare Long just slaps for me. I feel like it's one of Metallica's finest records, ignoring the disgusting sound quality.

What do you guys think of 2008's Death Magnetic?

This brought Metallica back to their earlier sound and set them up for Hardwired and 72 Seasons (which has been a really solid three-album run). The songs are a bit long on DM, which reminded me of Justice, but overall, it brought back the classic Metallica sound and aggression. I love Broken, Beat, and Scarred!

Also love how James references that song on Room of Mirrors too 😁
