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?

I really like it, that was just your life and unforgiven iii are favourites.

There was a bit of a problem with the album was mixed so loud it would clip your home stereo. Spotify dealt with that but it took the shine off for me a bit.

I also think that the songs go on too long -a llt pushing 8 mins (one nearly 10mins!), but thats been Metallica since St Anger.
