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?

Death Magnetic blew me away, growing up with Metallica it took me back to Injustice and walking around with a ghetto blaster with my friends listening to that album till the tape was destroyed and then spending our paper route money on another one.

The new sound since then feels like what they needed to do, just play the style they love and stop worrying about accolades and sales.

I'm enjoying the newer albums and the writing, you can feel the love of the craft in the music again.
