First, Before all the haters chime in, Music Review is one members opinion on
a piece of music, He or she thinks other members, May or may not want to spend hard earned cash on. I only bring this up, As the LP is getting trashed in my other thread the last couple of weeks. Now, Back to business. Yes the levels are way up, My spectrum analyzer level meters were about pegged, And that only happened one other time(Nickelback's All The Right Reasons). That being said, It is not unlistenable. We had some friends over for a listening party, And got generally good feedback on the cd. I played it about as loud as I ever subjected my speakers to, And had no Clipping/Distortion issues. Since I had it, I ripped the store cd, And burned it useing SRS Labs Compression/Decompression software(Your basically EQ'ing the music onto the copy). It improved the sound, But as I said, I had no complaints with the store copy. The guitar work on the disc is way over the top, Hemmett/Hetfield really have a feel for what the other is doing. If Hetfield is'nt one of the best rhythm players out there, In any genre, Who is? Vocally, He also was on his game. Cynide, The best track IMO, Really showed the mans talents, Guitar wise, And at the mike. The drum tracks were so, so, But there is so much going on else where, I got used to it. I like the LP, I need to hear it a few more times, There is alot to digest here. Just breaking down the Guitars will take awhile. BTW, Death Magnetic, Moved 490K, In 4 days, Billboards 3rd fastest mover in 08. These guys still have a ton of followers. People still want to Headbang out there, And Metallica can still "Bring It".

, I think it's wonderful when anyone finds a connection with music whether it's Vannilla Ice or Led Zep., and as music preference is totally subjective, my opinion (or anyone else's), shouldn't matter to those who differ. I just wanted to offer an alternate view of this album before someone undecided spends their money on it and perhaps later regrets their decision.
