Last week Metallica released their 9th(?) studio album. I don't know if St. Anger really counts since they did practically zero production on it (Lars' snare sound??). Anyways, Death Magnetic was sounding like it was going to be the return of Metallica. Was it though? If you've heard the album then I'm sure you've already got your opinion. Mine was mixed. I thought that I'd write out my reactions to the songs as I listened to them so that's what I did and that's what I've posted here. When I did this I had already heard the first 6 or 7 tracks at least in part so some of the riffs and parts had grown on me and others were annoying me more than they did the first time I heard them.
