The album is INSANELY AWSSOME
The intro for the first song, named That Was Your Life is a series of heart beats :D
IT SIMPLY ROCKS. THE ALBUM IS THE BEST METALLICA ALBUM EVER RELEASED.

I downloaded it from Pirate Bay, but I am DEFINITELY buying it. It deserves to be bought.

I hope the retail version sounds much better.

I just LOVE the album. I am going to SURELY buy it when its out. Metallica deserves my spending the money for it.

From beginning to the end, all songs are unique and have this strange melody coupled with sheer raw power. Heck, there is even a 10 minute long instrumental thrown in it. And the guitar solos are simply superb. The "evil" intro to the solo in "The Judas Kiss", the amazing solo in Cyanide, the series of riffs and solos in the instrumental, all remind me of metallica of the past.

This album is like Master Of Puppets + And Justice For All + ReLoad (YES) + St. Anger (YES AGAIN).

It has the melody of master of puppets and reload, the complexity of justice and the power and rawness of st. anger.

There is a lot of double bass abuse in this song, and lars is BACK with a BANG.

Trujillo never fails to amaze us with his awssome slap bass.

Hetfield - man, his voice is AWSSOME.

The "new song" you heard back in 2006 is actually the parent of several songs - the awssome riffs which sounded not so awssome when put together in "The New Song" sound great when used seperately in several songs.

One last thing I would like to mention - Unforgiven III PWNS all older versions. This is simply AWSSOME. The lyrics and the music. Its the song I looked forward most to, and its worth the wait. Forgive me... Forgive me not... Forgive me... Forgive me not... Forgive me... Forgive me not...

Maybe.
But it sounds way better than 128kbps ones available.

My cyanide version is seriously skewed.. can barely hear the lyrics. I hope that the retail is better.

128kbps--(transcode)-->256\320kbps

128kbps quality>>256\320 transcode quality(mp3 is one lossy codec).

waffles has flac copy of the original cds sold over in France,but even that is not the retail version supposedly as there is hardly any mastering done and the quality absolutely sucks.Hope that the retail copy is better and it sure is a must 'buy' for all metallica fans.

^^yes, i saw that..but this album has been getting a lot of bad rep for the mastering...

according to wikipedia, grammy award winning Ted Jensen is responsible for the mastering...i wonder why it sounds bad....

i guess its better to wait for the final cd to come out,which by the way is today...

The album does NOT sound bad. The odd sound is because they wanted some "rawness" in the music. And I think it feels great. Metallica is once again ditching n00b mainstream rock/metal for classical thrash/speed metal.

^^listened to a much better copy yesterday...i suppose all the leaked stuff were just transcodes...well, retail rips are coming out and so are FLAC rips...

yes, i agree with MetalheadGautham that there's "rawness" in their sound, but still i felt the mastering could have been better...

there's even a petition running online which asks for a remaster of death magnetic..

Its a complete circle.Once you hear modern Rock and are done by it after 5 years,you again go back to the Classic and appreciate it more.Now you know what quality is with the experience.
Then you realise what a crap you had to listen to in the first place ,to be that premium with the quality.
There is nothing like Classic Rock.

I heard Landmark is the official distributer in India. So you might want to check there.

PS: Yeah, it would be AWESOME if Moser Baer distributes DM in India :D
