Death Magnetic

Yup, this would be the latest album that I had been waiting for and still awaiting eagerly. For this album, it SHOULD mark the return of Metallica's musical style back to it's old school thrash metal, albeit with some supposedly eastern sounding influence. I had manage to collect most of it's album with exception Load, Reload and St. Anger while the reason that I am in no hurry to get these three would due to it's non-sounding old school thrash. If one is to do a comparison between ...And Justice For All album against the Black album, one would definitely hear that Metallica had moved from Thrash music to a much more Alternative Metal of somesort and the difference can be huge for someone whom is sensitive to musical structures like me. So what is the difference between Thrash Metal and Alternative Rock / Metal? It all lies in the ferocity and speed of the music. Fast aggresive guitar solos / singing and not forgetting the crazy drum speeds (heavy metal drummers usually uses double bass drums) are the essence of Thrash and if any of this is missing, it just doesn't sound right. So, based on some interviews and some comments by those whom had the opportunity to hear the un-released version, I would definitely get this album but right now, I am just going to get three CD's from Rick Astley (LOLOLOLOL) as I am in the mood for some 80's pop.
