2008- Death Magnetic

Metallica finally got their act together. After 17 years of waiting Metallica fans finally have an album they can be proud to listen to. Death Magnetic was a huge jump in popularity from the 2003 release of St. Anger, which totally sucked. But this album is not without its flaws. The more you listen to it the more you realize that Death Magnetic is simply Metallica trying to mimic themselves from the 80’s and early 90’s. Along with that issue this album has several songs about how Metallica messed up in the past and made some bad albums but it’s ok now since they can magically become good again. You cannot jump from a terrible album such as St. Anger to anything extraordinary. Steps are needed to make this leap into or back into fame and glory. So Metallica you gave it a good shot but one album cannot win back your entire fan base. Keep trying maybe the next one will be better.
