Best they have done since The Black Album......think they took a wrong turn after that album...trying to shake free of it's 'commercialism' and basically put out stuff as far removed from it as possible. Sadly most of it was crap.
A lot of bands do that though, most stay shite then, but some, as Metal Licka have, realise that they need to return to what people loved about them and get back on track....Death Magnetic certainly is!
