Death Magnetic



Right, I presume that we've all found a way of hearing the new Metallica album, aye? Whether you were brave enough to risk downloading it and have Lars Ulrich possibly crawl through your telephone line and punch you in the face repeatedly or simply you have managed to pick up the various snippets and such that have been gradually released by the band themselves, if you're a Metallica fan and haven't heard it yet then you're either very disciplined or living under an internet rock.

All I can say is YEEEEEAAAAH! This is the kind of Metallica I like - not the confusing onslaught of noise that was St. Anger. Riffs flying left, right and centre, James Hetfield roaring away in some kind of blinding rage and some top, top songs. Current favourite tune: All Nightmare Long.

Perfect stuff for soothing the pain of having to watch Jay grind through Too Human! Looking forward to laying down the cash for the physical release next week (er, just in case Lars is reading of course :-)).
