Ooh, is this the thread where we all get to say stuff like "Sniff, people still collect CDs? How quaint!" and "It's not stealing because it's sharing and besides it's not a physical product therefore they don't lose any money and all music sucks since I turned 23 so it's ok that I haven't paid a dime for any of it in 10 years" and "Cliff Burton was the REAL talent in Metallica" and "Guinness? You might as well be drinking toilet water! Real men drink Smithjohn's Imperial Darknose Stout" and "Starbuck's coffee costs too much and tastes burnt!"

Did I miss any?

Rev. Skarekroe:
Did I miss any?

Get off my lawn?

Great headline! I just emailed it to three Metallica fans that aren't Farkers.

/Why anyone isn't a Farker is beyond me.

People still collect CDs? How so 90's! I don't understand why, as it is not stealing because it's sharing and besides it's not a physical product therefore they don't lose any money. This generation and all its music sucks, especially since I turned 22, therefore it's ok that I haven't paid a dime for any of it in 10 years. What really grinds my gears is that Metallica sucks without Cliff Burton, as he was the REAL talent in Metallica. Its so bad that it might make drink Guinness, to which you might as well be drinking toilet water. I prefer to drink Smithjohn's Imperial Darknose Stout. You bums stick to Starbucks coffee, as it costs too much and tastes burnt!

The cover art looks dirty.

Big suprise. Though it is still pretty impressive that with half the window of normal first-week sales they still pulled off 490k sales and a No.1 spot.

People still collect wax cylinders? How so 20's! I don't understand why, as it is not fornication because I used a condom and besides it's not a mental relationship therefore she doesn't get paid any money. This generation and all its blogging sucks, especially since I turned 96, therefore it's ok that I haven't paid a dime for adult diapers in 10 months-- I just reuse the old one. What really kisses my caboose is that The Beatles sucks without Milli Vanilli, as he was the REAL talent in The Monkeys. Its so bad that it might make drink toilet water, to which you might as well be drinking Guinness. I prefer to drink John Smiths's Imperial Darknose Snot. You homeless people stick to tap water, as it's much cheaper and tastes lumpy!



_{/Yes, there is other things I should be doing.}

People still collect Coffee? How so CD! I don't understand why, as it is not burnt because it's roasted and besides it's not a musical product therefore they don't lose any money. This generation and all its Guinness sucks, especially since I turned 21, therefore it's ok that I haven't paid a dime for any of it in 10 years. What really grinds my gears is that Cliff Burton sucks without Metallica, as they was the REAL talent in Cliff Burton's ass. Its so bad that it might make me drink magnetic; you might as well be drinking death. I prefer to listen to Angela Gossow's sweet, sweet tits. You bums stick to Metallica, as it costs too much and tastes like chicken.

Люди все еще собирают CDs? Как так 90' s! I don' t понимает почему, по мере того как он не крадет потому что it' s и кроме it' s не физический продукт поэтому они don' t теряет любые деньги. Это поколение и все свое нот всасывают, специально в виду того что я повернул 22, поэтому it' о'кей s то I haven' t оплатил монета в 10 центов для любого из его в 10 летах. Что действительно мелет мои шестерни что Metallica всасывает без скалы Burton, по мере того как он был РЕАЛЬНОЙ талантливостью в Metallica. Свое настолько плохое что оно могл сделать питье Guinness, к которому вы могли также выпивать воду туалета. Я предпочитаю выпить Smithjohn' прочный s имперский Darknose. Вы бродяжничаете ручка к кофе Starbucks, по мере того как оно стоит слишком много и пробует, котор сгорели!

So another half a million people feel for the line of "metallica is back to their roots" that they used on their last pile of suck?

Er, fell for the line....

Need more coffee.

CDs and coffee at Tanagra. This generation's music, his arms wide. Metallica and Cliff Burton, on the ocean. Starbucks, when the walls fell.

They need to put this one back in the mixing console and do it over.

Seriously, the loudness, compression and clipping sucks on this album.

\good songs though.

Fixed.

The album is good!

I'm with you on that one. It sounds terrible.

I'm still giving the album a listen over though so I reserve my judgement for now.

Doesn't bother me much, but NOTHING can be worse than AND JUSTICE FOR ALL ~ the worst-mastered album ever.

Doesn't bother me much ...

I take that back ... I'm disappointed in the under-mixing of the bass. Trujillo's the best bassest in metal & was hosed here.

Some of the lyrics make me want to vom, but otherwise I was pretty damned pleased.

They need to remix this album.....it makes my ears bleed and I can't hear any of the bass parts (big surprise). I can still hear Lars banging on his snare like a monkey. That said, this is a step in the right direction for Metallica.

I never realized that Metallica had enough money to buy all 490K copies themselves. Kudos to them, I suppose.

Rev. Skarekroe: "Cliff Burton was the REAL talent in Metallica"

Actually, Dave Mustaine was the real talent, then when he left, it was Cliff, and then when he left it was Bob Rock and then when Rock ran out of ideas, they started to suck and then the Napster thing happened and now I don't care if they wrote the greatest metal album of all time, they're not getting anything from me but my scorn.

SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC!

Pirated it.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Probably going to go out and buy it, I think it's worth my $15 to support something good coming out in this day. Not much does, so I try to support what I can when I can.

It's selling for $9.99 at all the major retailers, so a bargain at that.

They took the idea from the Scientologists who buy cases of Dianetics books just to mess with the rankings.

Unlistenable. Do not buy it. Go find the Guitar Hero 3 version. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy better!

in other news at least 500,000 people don't have access to a computer

Or good taste.

I was disappointed when "Remember Tomorrow" the Iron Maiden cover didn't appear on the album. That's better than anything on Death Magnetic.

rocinante721 I beg to differ. The best bassist in Metal is:

There's bassists in Metal that actually get mixed in?

Last I heard it was common practice to just phase them out in the mix.

Or hell, not even bother recording them really...

/everything I know about Metal I learned from Metalocalypse
//just kidding... or am I!??!!?

That Was Just Your Life and The End of the Line are awesome songs. I've been listening to them exclusively for days.

Don't care much about the rest, though.

/Approves

- "Dave Mustaine was the REAL talent in Metallica"

THIS! THIS! THIS! Megadeth is what Metallica shoulda been.


and:

SFOUNDER: Steve Harris is the absolute God of 4 strings. Nobody better on bass. Period.

There's a copy of the demo disk that came in the "Coffin Box" floating around on the tubes, I listened to it and it sounds very good. Give it a try.

Megadeth sucks, Dave squeals like a pig, he solos practically the whole song, and his lyrics are 8th grade politics. Feh, keep your B-grade Metallica.

\good songs though.

I noticed it sounded funny on my speakers. However, sounds amazingly better when compressed and played on my iPod. Go figure.

Hated the first song. Rock Rap, meh. Liked the rest. Went to buy at hot topic, they were out. Had a sale for the shirts and CD's for five bucks. Sold out first day. Wonder if that is how they got the top spot. Dirt cheap. Makes sense. Got Tool 10,000 days and had to pay 19 bucks. Reminded me why I don't buy many albums.

Bought two Metallica tickets for the concert in November same day. around 180.00 with parking. Fark ticket master.

Torrented the album. Will buy as soon as I find a place that has it. (don't get out much). Does need a lot more bass. It is not nearly dark and heavy enough. Could be the torrent. Will see when I get the real deal in a couple of days. Contrary to popular belief, I torrent and then get the album if it doesn't suck. That is how I got into Disturbed, Evanescence, Tool and tons others. It is also how I get graphic novels and end up buying the real deal.CBR FTW. Torrent is a great marketing tool that isn't ran by tools. LOL

Starbucks tastes like burnt ass and believe me, I know ass.

metallica blows

duggieb63: Contrary to popular belief, I torrent and then get the album if it doesn't suck. That is how I got into Disturbed, Evanescence, Tool and tons others.

HAHA! Fail.

I've been on the Metallica blows bandwagon for years. Then again, the black album came out when I was in 7th grade.

From what I've heard, this isn't a total return to form, but more of how I would've expected Metallica to evolve all those years ago, instead of diverging into shiat territory.

Not fantastic, but not awful, better than anything they've put out since the black album, but the mixing needs work.

Still not buying it because frankly, I'm over metal.

duggieb63: Starbucks tastes like burnt ass and believe me, I know ass.

Whoa, way too much info, dude.

palexc: but more of how I would've expected Metallica to evolve all those years ago, instead of diverging into shiat territory.

That's what I've been telling people about the new album: it's a natural follow-up to ...And Justice For All, it's where they should've gone instead of the Black Album

Really though, I can only say that in hindsight.

I love the new album, and hate Starbucks coffee (currently drinking Tim Hortons)

I heard Hot Topic is selling it for $5.

It's early. They can't help themselves.

You're welcome.
When I saw that there were zero posts in here I figured there would be a good chance that if I got snarky about the nonsense I'd been seeing in the previous Death Magnetic threads I could maybe get people talking about the actual album.

Which, for the record, I like. This should have been what happened after the Black Album - a return to form after an experiment in mass appeal. That said, much of the lyrical content ain't so great - THIS I SWEAR!!!
