Here we go again. I had hope, little but it was there. Its a shame but the magic is gone, has been for years. Megadeth just schooled you. Not a huge Mega fan but they released what you should have.

Production. Amazing songs, but the production is abysmal. You'd think a band like Metallica would get someone good to mix the songs but it's agony to listen to the awful production

What compression? Great songs. Thank goodness for the Mastered for iTunes" label? I haven't noticed any compression issues with this album as long as I've had it. This is a great album with great songs.

Amazing!. I love every song on this album. It’s too bad a lot of you are saying you don’t like Unforgiven III. It’s my favorite one! \m/

Not their best. There are some cool guitar riffs but nothing too memorable. And then the album is also too compressed or something. It doesn't sound very good at points.

Good album. Brings back that old school flavor and mix . A good metallica record and much needed. This album really grows on you . Great riffs great songs . Get past the bad production and take it for what it is .

A return. Metallica had Kill Em All, RTL, MOP, Justice, then The Black album, which were all great albums, and then came Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger, which were all not really good albums. And now we get this great album, the production isn't amazing but it has really good writing, good guitar solos, etc. Good job Metallica.

Death Magnetic. There’s some good stuff in this album. The production is mediocre, the riffs are really memorable, and it sounds great live

Oh yeah metallica. Lars james kirk rob !!! Hell yeah metallica again !!!!

Good album. The rest of the album is good but they ruined unforgiven

Metallica’s finally back!. Granted, the production quality does leave something to be desired (It would be great if they would release a remastered version). That aside, this is a VASTLY better album than St. Anger. This is not just 80’s Metallica. This is a Metallica that has adapted all of the various styles from their previous albums into one awesome album. Of course, you hear the old thrash metal style from the 80’s but you also hear elements from the Black Album and Load on this album as well. Although every song on this album is enjoyable, my personal favorites are That Was Just Your Life, The Day That Never Comes, Broken, Beat and Scarred and The Unforgiven III. I really don’t understand the hate that Unforgiven III has received. This song is a different song; it’s supposed to sound different than the other Unforgiven songs. I say get this album and enjoy a good old-fashioned rock-out session with Metallica, one of the best metal bands ever! It really does feel like the good ol’ days!

Masterpiece. An Epic album ...greatest riffs and lyrics ..Metallica at the highest point of their career .its hat great vocals and it’s fast and melodic welcome to harmony paradise

Magnificent. This album is one of there best!!!the guitar solos and riffs are amazing!!

Underrated album. I feel this is a very underrated album but it is probably my 2nd favorite besides Reload. I feel the songs on this album are some of the best by Metallica such as Cyanide and The day that never comes. Pure greatness by Metallica!!

Matallica awesome album. Excellent

Death Magnetic. The production is, in my opinion, quite bad. This is just my opinion, but I think this is easily and by far the worst sounding Metallica album. The music itself is generally very unremarkable. I recall the first two or three songs being the best, and I think they were only slightly better than average. I know a fair amount of people really like The Day That Never Comes, but I think that one is actually pretty embarrassingly not good. Overall, I would consider Death Magnetic to be my least favorite Metallica album, but there’s no reason not to give it a shot and see if you end up liking it more than me.

Mastered for iTunes version sounds MUCH better!. This version of the album sounds much better than the CD version. It fixes the issue of the sound on the original CD, which was over compressed, way too loud and had audible “clipping". This version is still loud, but the sound people did it right this time and it’s enjoyable. It should have been mixed like this on the original cd. (For those interested, the CD has a Dynamic Range (DR) value of 3 and this iTunes version has a DR value of 7.)

❤️. ❤️

I love it!. The awesome sounds and songs mix perfectly

All Nightmare Long. I’ll give it 5 stars for All Nightmare Long alone, but this album is pretty good besides that song too. TWJYL, End of the Line, TDTNC, and Cyanide are great. I personally like Unforgiven III too. Great Metallica return.

Where has this been hiding??. Grew up on "The Black Album" and spent years learning & playing all the early albums up through that. They're still my go-to when I want to feel like I can play guitar decently & not get depressed by failing at Marty Friedman solos ... I had to swear off new Metallica after St. Anger though (god, that was awful), Load & Reload. They were all pretty terrible. After hearing some of the newest tracks from Hardwired I started looking into their newer stuff. How did I miss this album?? Lots of interesting rhythms & riffs, and even some unexpected tonal shifts & melodic choices - heavy, fast, fun to play & listen to. ... I didn't know what people were complaining about w/the mastering, but after streaming the "old" version on Amazon Prime, I agree the newly remastered/ "Mastered for iTunes" version here is MUCH better. It's much less distorted, the instruments & vocals are clearer & better separated. You can actually hear some bass lines & harmony parts, and it's not nearly as much of a muddy mess. Hammett still leans too much on his wah-wah & it's kind of a joke to say he "shines" on this (the only decent solo I've heard so far is Hetfield's), and I don't think there are any super stand-out classics yet, but it's good overall. I might actually bother to learn to play some new songs.

One Of The Best. I had no idea who Metallica was when this album came out, and many years later, I had no idea it would be this good. This is like Justice Part 2. You have songs that are really long, change, and don’t really follow a verse-chorus structure. Over the course of the seventy four minutes, you get ten amazing tracks, but a way to make it even better is to have the first half, then the Unforgiven 3, then Just A Bullet Away from Beyond Magnetic, the Judas Kiss, then Rebel Of Babylon (Also from Beyond Magnetic), then closing with Suicide and Redemption, a ten minute instrumental track.

Broken Beat and Scarred. Broken, Beat & Scarred is the most original sounding riff Metallica has produced on this record. Cyanide is another good song with positive message. There’s just too much departure from the sound of all the earlier albums that’s not comfortable and hard to relate. I love the positive message of broken beat and scarred. Needs to be more songs with positive messages on future albums. Love Now that we’re Dead on new album in that regard.

Good Songs, brought down by bad quality.. Composition wise, these songs are killer. The vocal harmonics and solos are second to few, and the rifs are like nothing since the black album. unfortunately i cannot rate this at 5 stars because of the production, especially in the drums. the drumps sound as if your speakers were blown out. The timbre of the drums is fine, i just think some mixer somewhere slipped up. it does get bad sometimes, especially at the end of "The Day that Never Comes".

A wonderful return to the older style of Metallica - iTunes version fixes compression issues. Very enjoyable album, mad props to all members of the band. The guitar riffs are sick, James' voice is very good and the drums are tight and really "pop". The Judas Kiss, Unforgiven III and My Apocalypse are three of my all time favorite Metallica songs, they are very strong efforts though that isn't to say the rest of the album isn't great, only that those three are spectacular. The only criticism I have is the songs do go on a bit too long in places; only one song is below 5 minutes long as opposed to older albums that had several shorter and then several longer songs. There is dross that should have been cut in other words. Another small criticism is the lack of concept for the album as a whole; MOP had being helpless to another force's control, AJFA had political corruption and the Black Album had the idea of self (it's even self-titled 'Metallica') but Death Magnetic is more just several individual tracks strung together in order. This doesn't really damage the album that much but does keep it from being a 5-star masterpiece like MOP.

My opinion.. The split second since S&M 1 that they had their sanity.

It's Metallica.. It took a while to like it. Played it over and over and it finally clicked. Sound quality is a lot better when I purchased it from iTunes. 🤘🏻

A Freaking Dope and Underrated Album. Such an underrated album and it has so many good songs on it like “All Nightmare Long”, “The Day That Never Comes”, “The Unforgiven III”, and “Cyanide”. Some not so good songs are “My Apocalypse”, “Broken, Beat & Scarred”, and maybe “Suicide & Redemption”. But overall a dope album!

Gets a bad rap. I don't think the production is as bad as other people say it is. It is not cheesy and it has good vocals. The lyrics are not very good, but that is common for heavy metal. I think it is actually better than their 80s stuff.

The Unforgiven III!!!. I love both sequels to the Unforgiven, this one is absolutely amazing. Oh, and the rest of the albums is really good.

Return to the classic Metallica thrash metal roots. Death Magnetic is their best and strongest album since The Black Album. Metallica return back to the classic style that made them famous in the '80s. This album is very reminiscent of ...And Justice for All, because of its progressive thrash sound. Great album! 🤘🎸 That Was Just Your Life: 5/5 The End of the Line: 4.5/5 Broken, Beat, & Scarred: 5/5 The Day That Never Comes: 4/5 All Nightmare Long: 5/5 Cyanide: 4.5/5 The Unforgiven III: 4/5 The Judas Kiss: 4.5/5 Suicide & Redemption: 4/5 My Apocalypse: 5/5 Albums gets a 8.5/10 rating

age 50. I would love to see the people who write negitive comments go out start a band,WRITE,co-produce for 30+ years,on top of that tour for years.I am frankly amazed that Lars can still play at this level.Ya know people you should really be greatfulful Good or Bad that they are still making music.Metallica is arguably one of the most breaking barrier bands ever.Before Metallica you were basicaly listing to top 40 crap 24/7 on the radio.Hearing Ozzy on the radio,yea right!! not a chance in He!!.Metallica basically forced stations to start playing heavier music because of the demand.If you like even 1 song on an entire album thats good.Why?because look how many bands out there are fly by night 1 hit wonders never to be heard from again.Plus you cant listin to a song just once.Sometimes that song you dont care for can grow on you,and even become possibly one of your favorites.Its happened to me.

Meh.... Songs are ok... St Anger had the unlistenable “tinny” snare, this album is plagued by buzzy ( and boring ) guitar riffs. Honestly this album is only for die hard Met fans who will listen to anything the band puts out.

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻. When they came back with this album I was very impressed that they managed to do it even with the change of voice. And the thing is that with the rhythm’s of those songs, the voice is perfect.

A Classic. My second favorite Metallica album right after Ride The Lightning. This album turned me into a Metallica fan. Saw the tour in 2008 and was blown away by every song on this album. Highly recommend. Didn’t even buy Hardwired to Self Destruct because the songs I heard couldn’t hold a candle to anything on Death Magnetic.

Put them in the coffin. This album certainly doesn't rank among Metallica's best albums (KEA, Lightning, Puppets) or even among their tolerable ones (Justice, black album), this waste of time is proof they just go through the motions in order to keep making money off gullible fans. So who's to blame for this discombobulated pile of crap? A. James and Lars who believe their own press clippings and are convinced they can do no wrong. Unfortunately this disaster of an album is proof of what happens when musicians get lazy, complacent, and take their fans for granted. Metallica lost their touch in 1991 and have put out one pathetic album after another ever since then and this one is no exception.

A powerhouse of a record.. Judas kiss is one of the best songs Metallica has ever written. There’s so many good stuff in here. Cyanide. That was just your life. But the real champ here is Judas kiss. 8 minutes of pure hard rock / metal technique and aggression.

Best album. I love this album and it has a few good songs to rock to like the day that never comes and cyanide and other ones and there other albums. 😎

It's pretty good album. Metallica could use some work.But I like:All nightmare,broken,beat,and scarred, the unforgiven 3

Lets play Russian roulette!!. Load a revolver with one bullet, every review of this album that says the album is too loud, you put the gun up to your head and pull the trigger. Have fun! :^)

Death by Compression. This is truly a very, very solid metal album. I like every song thats on here. The only problem was that it was mixed very poorly and the audio quality isnt that great. Buying the CD version and downloading the album into your library by using apple lossless format sort of helps. (sounds better with every album)

I like it. Modern ‘Tallica Thrash. It’s a little hard on the ears, but I guess that’s just the production to blame. All-in-all a very good album.

Either you like to rock or you dont. Rocks. Plain and simple.

The return. This album really marked the return of Metallica. And I'm happy to call this my favorite Metallica album of all time

My favoritw album of ALL the times!. Years pass by, but I still keep it in my top 10 charts!

AWESOME. All I can say is AWESOME

Metallica's Return to Thrash Metal. This album is amazing. All the songs are great, especially: The Day That Never Comes, The Unforgiven III, All Nightmare Long, and Cyanide. The only problem I have with this album is the production. If you just ignore how overly-compressed the album is and focus on the great guitar riffs, solos, and singing/lyrics you'll be enjoying one awesome metal album!

Yeah!!!. 5 star metal!!!

Solid album! Best since And Justice For All. Don’t get me wrong! Metallica has made many a great album since And Justice For All. I know they’re much more than just another thrash metal band. While this might not fall into the same canon as the first four albums (which in my humble opinion are there absolute best ), this is still an excellent album and return to form. Such a solid album from start to finish! Favorite tracks: The End of the Line, The Day that Never Comes, Cyanide, All Nightmare Long, That Was Just Your Life. A very underrated album indeed!

‘Tis confusion. I heard a lot of people dog on this album, but I always enjoyed it.
