    Production wise i think its nearly worse than st. anger

    Kicks are barely audable when lars is playing double bass, and are audable when hes not,
    Snare Sounds TERRIBLE, Guitar tone sucks ASS, Mix is flat as hell, and then theres the CRAZY clipping on it.

    At least st anger had guitar tone....

    yar, one thing I notice is that the mixes are very plain, theres no reverb/chorus or anything, its just flat. I know on the last two album they were going for a garage band doing their first demo/album sound but meh, its just not something to aspire to, its too plain. The guitars are too scratchy and dry, the clipping was and is the unforgiven aspect of the album.

    If you have a problem with the clipping try downloading the guitar hero ripps.

    Listening to Load atm, and I have to say it's one hell of an album. Totally under-rated.

    Actually after listening to it back on the guitar hero version its a hell of a lot of a better album than i give it credit for. Still nothing amazing but i take back some of the stuff I say about it.

    I dont own it, but recently after finding out that the music went to guitar hero before it was remastered to the point where its crazily clipping I decided to download that version. Listening to that it sounds a hell of a lot better.

    The solos were a step in the right direction imo, back to the more exploratory style prior to when Hammet went all bluesy. The drums were a bit lame though, the snare is wrong again, its too round and still has a barrel-ish sound.

    what solos?

    I thought we were still talking about St. Anger - I had meant, what solos (in St. Anger)?

    Listening to St. Anger, it can't be the worst metal album ever, its sounds like regurgitation but its still listenable.

    I know we have an "everything Metallica" thread, however, I feel this is a more appropriate thread to post this on.

    In several hours time the "World Magnetic Tour" will come to an end in Melbourne. Over 180 Shows were played all over the World. Save for China, Africa (which got two shows on one of the warm up tours), and India, Metallica travelled to every nook and cranny rocking out with all sorts of suprises. For the first time Metallica even managed to share a stage with the other members of the Big Four. Save for a few songs, and the guts of St Anger, almost every part of the back catalogue was played. Further, the entirety of Death Magnetic was played on the tour.

    I believe the entire Death Magnetic experience has been very positive from a Metallica, and Metallica fan's perspective. Most of us saw them once, and many more of us saw them on a plurality of occasions. The record itself was decent, and I believe several of the songs of the album will become part of future Metallica setlists.

    I would just like to offer my gratitude to Metallica for the Death Magnetic experience ! FIngers crossed the next album will be better, faster, louder, and that we shall get a rocking tour in the not too distant future !

    hell yes I agree.

    If they make a new album it will be their 10th studio album. Anyone think it'll be their last?

    Barring cover albums, live albums, demo releases, compilations or "exclusive mix" albums and guest spot's on other peoples work (not to mention soundtrack recording appearances) I think you might find that the 10th album will not be Metallica's last - but I suspect after the 10th, while the touring may continue, the releases will get more sporadic

    In fact, if you believe that they say, they have enough material unreleased for two albums after the Death Magnetic sessions - these will see release if, after the 10th album, there isn't a studio release for a while. They will always have something to release, even if it's just unfinished jamming material.
