The guy who wrote the Metallica CD review has apologized for jumping the gun on reviewing the album - here's his full take: “The End Of The Line,” by Metallica. It was in this space last week where I reviewed the video of Metallica’s “Day That Never Comes,” off of their new album. That song blows. But I made the mistake of assuming that song represented the style of the rest of “Death Magnetic.” I was wrong. I was way f***ng wrong. Rick Rubin, you are a gd saint. Bob Rock, you deserve to be trucked out to the Arctic and left for dead. Metallica is finally a thrash band again. Rubin must have sat the band down and told them, “Enough of this gd Lynyrd Skynyrd bulls**tt. You’re f-ng Metallica, you f-s. Now go play the kind of music only f-ing Metallica can play.” Then I bet Lars got all uppity, and then Rubin had to punch him right in his stupid f-ng mouth to put him in his place. At least, that’s how it all goes down in head. Hammett’s guitar solos are back. The crummy yet lovable production values of “…And Justice For All” are back. Hetfield’s angry bark is back. This album isn’t as good as the band’s first four albums, and a couple of tracks suck (the lead single and “The Unforgiven III,” which is the heavy metal sequel equivalent of Rambo III). But at least the band f-ing sounds like Metallica again, and that’s all I’ve really ever wanted from these a**holes for the past two decades. Between this album and reading ”Watch You Bleed: The Saga Of Guns ‘N’ Roses”, I feel like I’m 12 years old all over again. Time to go stick my d*** under the tub faucet!
