$80? Is this their latest ingenious tactic in the War on Piracy?

All I can say is with a price tag like that, the guitar riffs better not be "stock".

mommy, hold me. this band is too scary.

If you get one of those magnetic pencils you can put a beard and ear hair on Lionel Richie.

Check the Title font...

Death Magnetic? What the fuck does that even mean?

Hopefully Metallica will still be good for laughs.

is this a 'liking it ironically' thing or an actual 'liking it' thing?

As this board is chock-full of old-Metallica fans who think new-Metallica is as bad as Limp Bizkit (myself included), I'd say it's a little from column A, a little from column B. Probably hoping deep down that it's good, while being resigned to the likelihood of it being garbage.

I hope "The End of the Line" is a Traveling Wilburys cover. And that the Wilburys reform with James and Ronnie James replacing Roy and George.

NO WAY!!

Death Magnetic -

It makes no sense

I heard they're going to name their next album The Deadening.

you guys really can't make sense out of the name? even with the cover being a coffin with magnetic field lines drawn around?

i'm not in the band, so I can't say with certainty, but it seems pretty obvious that it's about the attractive properties of death, about how one's lifestyle and deathstyle can be like, one foot in the grave, drinking hard, driving fast, just being "metal" in general. that suicide song title too, probably about how Jaymz was living a life of self-destruction and passive-aggressively killing himself, and it was like, he was already dead and stuff. attracted to destruction. shirts with skulls drawn by Pushead and stuff.

etc?

i'm excited to hear this.

seriously.

it cant be worse than saint anger and i've read reviews that said it does resemble AJFA in song structure...

andyk

i'm an old school fan but the these guys are past redeemable for me...
