I`m a long time Metallica fan, but I havent yet heard the new stuff (hoping it will be a vast improvement over the lamentable `St Anger`). My favourite material is from the first four albums, and the first song I heard from this brilliant band was `Creeping Death` and that was a long time ago !!!.
Hopefully `Death Magnetic` should be a return to form for Metallica, and lets see what producer Rick Rubin has contributed production wise to this new album (after all he did produce Slayers `Reign In Blood` which was considered and still is the best thrash metal album ever) !!!.
