WELCOME TO METALSUCKS METALLICASUCKS

Tomorrow, after all the months of hype and speculation and debate, Metallica’s new album, Death Magnetic, will finally hit stores. We obviously can’t predict how many copies it will sell or whether or not it will restore Metallica’s good name after the debacle that was St. Anger, but we can predict this: it will cause lots and lots of arguments within the metal community for days, weeks, months, and possibly even years to come.
Well, we’re all about arguing here at MetalSucks, so to celebrate (or mourn, depending on your point of view) Death Magnetic’s release, we decided to have as many of the inhabitants of the MetalSucks Mansion as possible whip up a review with his unique take on the record. None of us consulted with one another beforehand, none of us discussed the album with one another – we each just retired to our separate rooms, grabbed a beer and/or bong, gave the disc a few spins and typed up our thoughts (Of course, some us retired to our rooms and never came back out again, which is why you’ll find reviews from a few key members of the MS team missing. Sorry.).
Some of us loved the album, some of us hated it, and some of us thought it was just okay. We’re going to publish each review throughout the course of the day, as well as some other Metallica-related shit. We’ll return to our usual MetalSucks goodness tomorrow, but for today, we declare ourselves METALLICASUCKS.

Well —- have to say I’m really surprised and amazed how quickly I liked ‘Death Magentic’. With obviously terrible cover and too much hype (is that possible???), I can still say I like this album – first one since 1990.
BUT – I tried to listen few days ago to 90’s Metallica stuff and even ‘St.Anger’ and can find very little to complaint about. Those records are actually ok – but just not good enough to be Metallica records. Jeez – I wish I was 16 again because I’d probably play ‘Death Magnetic’ until the disc would melt – this way I’ll probably be as anal as possible and try to find as much mistake as I can.
Over the weekend I’ll pretend I’m 13 again and try to listen to ‘Death Magnetic’ the way I listened to ‘Master of Puppets’.
With fast heart rate and that same feeling that made me grab a guitar and play fuckin’ metal!
NICE mitch hedberg there.
well – this wasn’t one-liner, but ok!
:P
HAHAHAHA Awesome!
I love the new header.
this really is immature unprofessional bullshit…if you guys dont like the fucking album what’s the point in constantly slandering a band that you all enjoy whether you admit it or not
fuck you guys for this.
seriously
Yeah, agree with the guy above. You should change the name of this site to Metalsucks Sucks.
No No No… Love it! You guys made my day. Metallica sucks indeed :)
