They just can't make a bad record, can they???

Songs 1-7 are superb, 7-17 are very good, and then they hit you with #18, which is simply awesome. Billie Joe Armstrong is an immense talent and his vocals reach a certain part of you that just makes you want to listen over and over again. Catchy hooks, riffs, and huge 100% USDA beefy power chords abound. This record simply cannot be played loud enough.
What's great about it: What else? Songs, songs, songs
What's not so great: Very little
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very, very good group and sound.

This is a great record. Songs are awesome especially Drowning (face down). I'm not thrilled that the first I heard of this group was the song Addicted. Not that great of a song and the content was shallow and questionable. Follow-ups 18 Days and Drowning put them on the board as a force to be reckoned with. Overall A+
What's great about it: Unique sound, some songs have deep, catchy hooks
What's not so great: The first single was "Addicted"

One of the best sitcoms ever written

King of Queens is unboubtedly one of the most entertaining and charmingly funny shows of its time. Classic quotable lines and hysterical subtle inside jokes make this show irresistible. Before you know it you will have watched 8 or 10 episodes and will be aching for more. If you are middle-aged, married, and work a blue collar job, you will feel as though they have constructed this show around your life. I will always love this show and it will be very dear to my heart. Watching the final episode was heartbreaking. I will truly miss you Doug, Carrie, and Arthur!
What's great about it: Hilarity at every moment, great acting, and sentimental lines
What's not so great: That they ended at only 9 seasons

A funny show that doesn't get its due...

Very funny show that didn't get as much spotlight as it deserved. It worked from all angles, every character was funny and worked to make a cohesively superb series.
What's great about it: Easy-to-relate-to comedy, strong talented cast
What's not so great: Weird plots at times
I would recommend this to a friend!

Really good, but that's it
on September 15, 2008
Posted by: Sylvain1976
The bottom line: this is a really good record, but to say it is their best EVER is false. This is better than St. Anger for sure and in a way is a redeeming effort that shows that their musical talent, creativity and cohesiveness has not gone into the sewer. The musicality and stereotypical Metallica feel is definitely there, but there is still an overwhelming sense about the record that hints they are floundering to make records just to cash in. It almost feels like an apology, of sorts, for the terrible abomination that is St. Anger. Metallica is a band that revolutionized a musical genre, rode the wave for a decade, then they changed and fell by the wayside, never to be fully seen as the metal kingpins they once were. It's really hard to come back from something like that, and no matter how good their records are henceforth, the memory of the sordid mess we had to wade through from everything between the black album and St. Anger will always remain.
Is Death Magnetic a good satisfying dose of nerve-sizzling metal? Sure.
Does it make the hair on the back of my neck stand up as does during the opening bars of Master of Puppets or And Justice For All? Absolutely not.

What's great about it: Nostalgic riffs, beefy drum parts, SOLOS!
What's not so great: Feels a bit patronizing, contrived.
