Allmusic.com's review says it sounds "as if it could come after ...And Justice for All". Fine.

It's called "wanting to get that interview with Metallica for our publication." They practically did the exact same thing for St. Anger. I would love for every magazine to give Metallica a negative review, because then, because of the obvious "you give us a good review, we'll give you an interview" business tactics, they'd have no one left to do business with because everyone thinks they suck, and Lars will have no magazine to reward for stroking his ego.

I'll probably never get this album, even if I did stick up for St. Anger. In an ironic turn of events, I'm just too butthurt to care. I'll probably get United Abominations first before ever bothering with this.

death magnetic was by no means as good or comparable to classics like ...And Justice for All and Master of Puppets. Yet, when you compare this album to St. Anger this is the best album that was ever released. St. Anger, honestly, was nothing to write home about. It was nothing interesting, no catchy choruses, and imo was the worst metallica disc ever released. Death Magnetic is no amazing album for metallica, but to all those who find st. anger better than death magnetic, play songs from each album back to back and tell me that st. anger is better. Metallica definetely is taking steps in the right direction!

All nightmare long and Broken, beat, and scarred are excellent. Everything else sucks.

Correct (or close enough).

It's a solid record. But it can get old relatively quickly. I think that the best songs are That Was Just Your Life and Broken, Beat & Scarred. Other than that, much of the stuff can get old relatively quickly. But still, it's a step in the right direction.
