Number 9
Metallica
"Death Magnetic"
Released: September 12th 2008
Key Tracks: "That Was Just Your Life" / "The Day That Never Comes" / "All Nightmare Long"
After the disappointment that was 2003's "St Anger", Metallica returned in style with their ninth studio album "Death Magnetic". A hark back to the thrash days of old, with elements of modern Metallica thrown in, "Death Magnetic" proved to be the band's best work in almost twenty years.
The guitar solos so painfully lacking on "St Anger" returned with a vengenance on "Death Magnetic", both Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield being given their chance to shine, and on Rob Trujillo's first official release as a member of the band, the bass rumbles exactly the way it should.
"Death Magnetic" is a definite return to form, and will leave a lasting legacy as one of the outstanding metal albums of the noughties.
