Haha, their music isn't worth talking about anymore so we go to other things.

I can agree to an extent, but I still think that people need to keep in mind that it's the music that matters, and focus on that. Which... from me anyway, would still leave negative things being said. =P

I hate them because they have failed to inspire or move me in 20 years which is a shame as they were one of my favourites growing up.

Death Magnetic is one of their best albums, obviously not up there with the black album and Master of Puppets but
The Day That Never Comes
All Nightmare Long
Cyanide
The Unforgiven III
all great songs

I wasn't aware Death Magnetic was actually a Metallica album. I'm pretty sure it's a tribute album done by a half-assed group of armani-wearing aging record label primadonnas. Some reviewer said it sounds like new Metallica playing old Metallica and that's exactly what it's like. Too bad new Metallica is terrible. Retire already. Newstead had the good grace to already.

Nope, its a Metallica album. You should do some research first.

Well yeah. That was the joke. I own it, I know it says Metallica on the cover.

Death Magnetic wasn't so bad. It gave me a surprise considering the album before was St. Anger. All Nightmare Long is an awesome tune.

Yeah, but as much as people slag off St. Anger, at least it dared to be a little different and not be a rehash of their earlier sound... some parts of St Anger don't work so well, but it was by no means a reason to ditch the whole sound and direction you were going in - and relaunch yourself as a rehash band aka AC/DC...

I even like Death Magnetic and I am saying this... as good as it sounds from time to time, it loses the sense of freedom to explore new ground that St Anger tried to introduce...

I just think that Metallica were never really broad-spectrum musicians and even though they were willing to jump the thrash genre and experiment (load, reload, etc.) they were too afraid of losing the Metallica name. Guys like Josh Homme know when a band has done it's job (when it was time for Kyuss to end) and how to keep a band open in terms of potential to prevent it from being pigeonholed. Metallica as Metallica ended after 1991's Black Album, and they just didn't know when to quit and start anew. Anybody who bought St. Anger would also have bought the cd of a side project involved Hetfield and Ulrich. There is just so much good music out there that it makes it arrogant and ridiculous to believe you can rest on your laurels and continue to crank out regurgitations of your previous material. There is also no excuse for the terrible production quality on St. Anger, no matter how much of a "garage" sound they were going for. The ability to tune a snare is something I am not surprised Ulrich lacks.

I have little to no respect for Metallica anymore, or any of it's members save Jason who recently retired.
