Death Magnetic

Maybe, but it's better than 90% of the rest of the modern-day "music" out there IMO.

I think I'd like to wait until I actually purchase the CD and give it a few listen-throughs before I actually gave a full opinion on the album.
 
Wow, you have certainly nailed it! They sold half a million in 3 days, how did your "condensed version" do? LOL

Isn't Hannah Montana on...get the Tivo set up, quick!
 
the ignorance post was me telling him he was ignorant for thinking dm was better than 90% of music out there today, implying that he thinks modern music sucks, which is ignorant.

More or less what I wanted to say, but was a bit off.
Well said :clap:

Definitely, I don't think anyone was expecting anything new or revolutionary from them.
 
The poll might have been more revealing if it had people rate the album on a scale of 1-5 or 1-10.

It's no classic, but it doesn't suck. I reserve that term for anything with a score of 2 or less out of 5. Anyway, here's how I'd rate the individual tracks:
1. Cyanide 4/5
2. The Judas Kiss 4/5
3. Broken, Beat, and Scarred 4/5
4. My Apocalypse 3/5
5. All Nightmare Long 2.5/5
6. That Was Just Your Life 2.5/5
7. The End of The Line 2.5/5
8. Suicide and Redemption 2.5/5
9. The Unforgiven III 1/5
10. The Day that Never Comes 1/5
 
It's not a bad album, and it might be worth your while to pick it up at some point. It lacks a certain energy though. I like my metal to reach out and punch me in the face...and this just doesn't do that.
 
Well yes it is actually pathetic and I'll be glad to explain why...

"Barely Listenable" is something that say a woman in her 70 who enjoys Classical might say about Metallica, but when a supposed Metallica fan says the same about DM it's just plain odd is what it is. You don't like it, you don't think it's that strong, not as good as expected, not heavy enough, OK gotcha and those are all valid. Barely listenable is just unjust and unfair honestly, considering how much better DM is than anything they have done in close to 20 years. Saying it's s**t means you either haven't really listened to it or just currently subscribe to the "all things Metallica suck" school of thought; there is a difference between not liking something and saying it's worthless, crap, etc. I am not a fan of Figure Skating, it bores the f**k out of me, but it's not "crap".

As for The Wall, which I find almost unimaginable that a supposed fan doesn't like, that's an opinion, as I didn't hear you cal lit unlistenable or s**t. You are very likely in the minority with that opinion but hey, that's cool. Saying it's weak or not a good piece of music would be insane, however. I think Animals and The Final Cut are two of the greatest Pink Floyd, if not CD's in general, releases to come in the last 35 years but some people don't like either album and ONLY like The Wall. Those are opinions and I get it.
