Oathbraker are you trying to say that Load is the best Metallica album?

dreadfully sorry to interrupt your discussion fellows, but does anyone have any spare change for the phonebox?

Like all of the songs except for "Hate Train"...but it has nice riffage.

This is good. I cbf writing a review, but basically this is a step (again) in the right direction for Metallica, excluding Lars who needs to sit the fuck down and learn to play again.

I know they are aging, but at least with Death Magnetic they showed that they can (try) to release some more solid material, and here they showed that they are apparently uncapable of deciding what is good and bad material, but nonetheless shown that there is still some creative spark left in their battered machine.

Metallica stitching riffs together at random can hardly be called m/

you know a band sucks when the best thing they've done in 21 years is an EP that's barely worth a positive rating

Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

In that case, you must not be talking about Metallica.

Nicely done, Aso.

They really should have just written two more songs and released this as a full album and everyone would probably assume that Metallica made somewhat of a comeback

It's also really weird how James blatantly put more effort in his vocals on these tracks and not the DM tracks.

Beats gay Megadeth material

Damn, Hetfields vocals on this are terrible. Doesn't help that the production on this sounds like a fucking demo.

I mean...they did release this without being fully produced/mastered.

Album Rating: 3.5

Whether belated EP release "Beyond Magnetic' is a celebration of Metallica's 30th anniversary or some kind of apology for their collaboration with Lou Reed is irrelevant... It's ultimately a strong offering for what is essentially a B-sides collection. Containing 4 left-over tracks from the 'Death Magnetic' recording sessions, the rawer production could be seen as both a positive or a negative. As too could the unhinged song structures which feature many a sudden tempo change that results in an overlong 29 minute duration. And hey, it's undoubtedly better to listen to than 'Lulu'! Recommended Tracks: Hell and Back & Hate Train.

Album Rating: 2.5

^Better listen to anything than Lulu.
