All the die hard Metallica fans waited a long time for this release and most of them were quite disappointed after St. Anger. This album is definitely an improvement on their previous one.

The good part is that it gives us that vintage Metallica flavour. The bad- it is not nearly as good as Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets or the Black Album.

This is the first album of Metallica's to feature current bassist Robert Trujillo and it is also the first album of theirs to be produced by Rick Rubin. It has ten tracks out of which one is an instrumental. There are parts where this album really impresses- others where you feel they could have done better.

Track Listing
  1. That Was Just Your Life
  2. The End Of The Line
  3. Broken, Beat & Scarred
  4. The Day That Never Comes
  5. All Nightmare Long
  6. Cyanide
  7. The Unforgiven III
  8. The Judas Kiss
  9. Suicide And Redemption
  10. My Apocalypse

The first single from this album is The Day That Never Comes. It is also, in my opinion, the best song in the album. Other songs to listen to are The Judas Kiss, The Unforgiven III and All Nightmare Long.

Death Magnetic is an intense heavy metal album pleasing to metalheads though it is far from Metallica's best




The following video is me playing the Unforgiven lead. Hope I've done some justice...
