Today I got Metallica's new CD entitled Death Magnetic. Metallica has been around since the 80's, with such great albums such as Kill Em' All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All. I am a big fan of Metallica, but recent CD's of theirs like Load, Reload and St. Anger weren't as appreciative as their old stuff. But Death Magnetic is giving hope to Metallica that there is a chance to get their spark back. Is this their millenium debut to true metal? Or is another St. Anger?

Their sound is a huge improvement from their last album. The drums sound extremely better, the guitar riffs are mesmerizing, and the vocals are fantastic, although not quite as good as the 80's stuff. They sound like heavy metal instead of rock and roll. Some songs have very catchy choruses, like Cyanide for example. The album art is very good, but who gives a f*** about it when your listening to the music?

This CD is satisfying to any Metallica (or heavy metal) fan and I give it a clean 10.
