I don't know about Metallica anymore. They are probably my favorite band of all time. But with the songs from the Death Magnetic album their music has been going downhill dramatically.
its sad what happened to Metallica, their bassist, who was phenomenal, died (R.I.P. Cliff Burton)
after that, things went down hill
master of puppets, and all the albums before, are definitely the best of their work in my opinion
i've heard their new single. And while i'm glad they can still play good with their guitars, the lead singer sounds crappier then when he did, like say, with the release of "One" My fav song.
