Metallica's 9th studio album and a damn good example that they hadn't totally forgot where they came from. I was surprised at the thrash orientation in had, some thing that hadn't done since the 20 years span from "...And Justice For All". It mixed some stuff from the 90's alternative rock and hard rock type of stuff (can't tell me the video for "The Memory Remains wasn't on some level maybe inspired by the Smashing Pumpkins lol) with some of the good old 80's thrash metal brutality they started with.
A good mix of old and new to give a certain level of satisfaction to multiple camps of fans of Metallica and metal music fans alike. Some of the lyrics admittedly are a bit below what the 80's era had given us, but let's admit to one undeniable truth. It's definitely an improvement and step in the right direction.

Death Magnetic is proof that the greatest selling heavy metal act of all time still has their steam! :D

An album that combines the poetic verses of load and reload with a taste of their earlier thrash style to form a meaningful yet headbanging set of songs that continues Metallica's long tradition of making their own sound and name, much to the dismay of people looking to define them to a certain genre or sound that they prefer.
I listen to Death Magnetic and Metallica because they are good artistically in any sound they choose to play, not just because they play "thrash" or "metal".

Metallica album released in 2008 which many saw as a redemption for Metallica as it was reminiscent of the thrash metal style which Metallica originally was. Suicide and Redemption is a fucking badass song.
