Topic: Death Magnetic

It's been out almost a week now and I've been playing it constantly.

Real good album IMHO, really made up for the pretty weak output since the Black Album.

You either love em or hate em, but if you think anything of this type of music you will probably like this album...

It's one of those cd's i only like part of

Downloaded it from iTunes, have only had a quick listen to some of the tracks.  Pretty decent, nothing that's standing out for me so far.  I must be one of a handful of people who admit to liking St.Anger - it had some killer tracks on it.

Not my cup of tea, but apparently the mastering's shit, making it pretty much unlistenable...

I’m certainly sympathetic to your reaction, I get to slam my head against that brick wall every day. In this case the mixes were already brick walled before they arrived at my place. Suffice it to say I would never be pushed to overdrive things as far as they are here. Believe me I’m not proud to be associated with this one, and we can only hope that some good will come from this in some form of backlash against volume above all else.
