I think they should've had a tighter production that could've taken the riffs and really made it feel like an anvil falling on you... but of course production doesn't necessarily determine quality and they could've had some better songs to go with it.

Hardwired... knocks things out of the park on both levels.

I don't see anything wrong with DM's sound except for the loudness. The iTunes remaster sounds totally fine to me.

Does anybody here know what version of Death Magnetic the one on spotify is? Is it the original one or a remaster?

 

[Number 6]

Original. The remaster is exclusive to iTunes and hi-fi audio.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Ok thanks.

 

[Diesel 11]

The vocals on DM are mixed atrociously. The guitars are watery. The drums are too click-y. It's not good.

I've heard literally nothing by Metallica post-Load, aside form the odd live clip. Not sure if I care enough to rectify that.

 

[Diesel 11]

You should. Some nice surprises.

Just check out some popular tracks.

Death Magnetic. Masterpiece.

Also according to Diesel... Lulu

In my humble opinion, you're not missing much. The only post-Metallica album I really care about is Death Magnetic.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I'll listen to some of DM then...

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Like?

All Nightmare Long, The Day That Never Comes, Cyanide, The Unforgiven III, Spit out the Bone, Moth Into Flame, Halo on Fire.
Start with those.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Hold on, I have to listen to some John Zorn first...

 

[Stardust]

Isn't the Guitar Hero version of Death Magnetic the fan-preferred way of listening to that album? I was under the impression that it was indeed the case...

 

[KidInTheDark666]

St. Anger also has some very cool tracks but most people don't really like them, so I don't bother listing them here.

Yes.

He's missing Spit, very easily one of their best songs. Cried, you can skip Lulu and St Anger but the rest has a lot of great songs, it's like missing Sign of the Cross, no way.
