Death Magnetic was a fucking great album. I got into Metallica starting around MOP, and tbh I think they were mediocre at best before Cliff died. They were just another generic rock band until AJFA, though MOP was their best album with Cliff around. Not saying it was Cliff's fault they were kinda bad, he is just kinda a landmark moment in Metallica's career.
If I were going to rank my top 3 favorite Metallica albums, it'd be:
1. Load (yes, srsly, fuck you, it wasn't buttrock but it was great)
2. Death Magnetic
3. ...And Justice For All
Metallica in general has been really inconsistent with good music. Reload, KEA, RTL, St. Anger were all pretty bad. Megadeth on the other hand has been outrageously consistent in quality, but Metallica has had some higher highs than them.
MattJack, I have 7" Metallica vinyls that are early demos. One is rare called Metal Up Your Ass which is their original demo. All of the songs have Dave Mustaine on guitar. I also have an early demo of Dave Mustaine doing the VOCALS for Ride The Lightning and the guitar for Ktulu and Fight Fire with Fire which he wrote for and was never paid a single dime for. Metallica is a bunch of bullshit now that slipped into fame by fucking people over, including fans.
I was wrong to say majority, yes, but you didn't even know mustaine wrote a single note before you wikipedia'd the shit.
I knew he was in the band since I was like 13, lulz. I even knew he was kicked out after their first demo/album. You were just talking out of your as* and got called on it. derp derp.
