Not for nothing, but for those interested, you can hear most of, if not all of Metallica's Death Magnetic Album. Metallica themselves Posted 6 songs from the album. More so, after the album leaked, which youtube fought for a few days, Metallica allowed the album to be posted claiming "it was bound to happen." Apparently a few stores in Paris released the Album September 2nd, before the release date of September 12th.
IMO its a great album. A lot of the songs are throw backs to their old styles. However, the album has its own distinct feeling all together. Many are calling it the missing link between the "And justice for all" and "Black" albums. Listening to the whole album, I can say it has a lot to offer. IMO the album has its great moments, which highly outnumber its bad moments. Overall, this is damn good album, especially coming off St. Anger.
If this album was released by any other band than Metallica, it would be their smash hit. But this album coming from Metallica has heightened its standard and hype. So, I suggest keep a open mind when you get the chance to listen to it.
