>Death Magnetic was shit. St Anger was shit too but at least it had a couple of good songs. It was the last album they released with any passion. I'll never understand the whole "back to their roots" meme with regards to anything but especially with Metallica. Who the fuck cares that they sound superficially more like they used to in the 80s when they have none of the soul they had back then? That's what they were missing from their early years, that's why their music sucked, not because they changed style. Going back to thrash didn't bring their soul back. If I had to choose between them losing the thrash or losing the soul, passion, energy and creativity, it's the first option every time.
>They will never make another Master of Puppets or Ride the Lightning. And I'm not so easily impressed by them going back to their old style in what seems like a superficial pastiche.
