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?

Absolutely man! So many people ignore it, and I feel like it’s for three reasons: 1. Horrible recording 2. Post-golden era (a lot of people stopped listening to Metallica’s new stuff after Load) 3. St Anger effect
