i was looking forward to get this album and it's not a let down at all, it rocks! 
Re: METALLICA Discussion
i guess today is the day huh?
Definitely.
And it's incredible - I expected it to be really good but what I got was something way beyond that.
I normally don't get excited or "happy" about music all that often so this was a real treat, especially since I've been sick for almost two months.

METALLICA's 'Death Magnetic' On Track To Sell Half A Million - Sep. 12, 2008
METALLICA's "Death Magnetic" is on track to sell around 500,000 copies in its first, shortened week on the streets, according to sources cited by Hits Daily Double, the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS.
"Death Magnetic", which received its official worldwide release today (Friday, September 12), is being sold for $5 at Hot Topic retail stores today only. In addition, the store is offering a METALLICA T-shirt for the same price. Limit is two CDs per person.
Traditionally, record labels release new albums in the U.S. on Tuesdays. However, METALLICA opted to make "Death Magnetic" available to the band's fans around the world on the same day.
METALLICA's last CD, "St. Anger", also had an unusual release date after Elektra Records decided to move up its release to Thursday, June 5, 2003 from Tuesday, June 10, 2003 "to ensure that counterfeit copies of the band's first studio album in six years do not proliferate in the marketplace," the label said at the time.
METALLICA's "Re-Load" album sold 435,000 units during its first week in 1997, while 1996's "Load" opened at 680,000. 1991's self-titled "black album" debuted with 598,000 and has since gone on to sell more than 15.2 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Re: METALLICA Discussion
This album reminds me why I started drifting from rock/metal a few years back. They bring nothing new to the table. Hell I can handle not getting something new, but at least give us a fresh take on things.
There's still some great stuff out there...I think bands like Porcupine Tree and Opeth bring lots to the table..their musicianship and songwriting is outstanding, the thinking man's metal maybe
