"So What" might be the most artful and expressive song in American music history.

why? are XM going to invent a time machine and send metallica back to pre 1988?

Or will they be making an official staement that everything after seek and destroy is wank?

Either way Jeff, surely too white for your particular coon loving tastes?

Death Magnetic is the upcoming ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. It is scheduled for release on September 12, 2008 by Warner Bros. Records. The album will be the band's first to feature current bassist Robert Trujillo, and the first to be produced by Rick Rubin.

There will be 5 different ways to get the album when it comes out:

Experience 1:

Beside the free access to "Mission: Metallica" website, marketed as Experience 1 – which includes footage of writing and recording of Death Magnetic, riffs and excerpts from it, exclusive photos and live tracks – three different commercial packages of the album were revealed as "Mission: Metallica Platinum" options, along with an additional collector's edition:

Experience 2:

Digital download of Death Magnetic at 320 kbit/s, ringtones, two live shows, additional 2 hours of exclusive "making of" footage, 250 photos – plus all the above (from Experience 1);

Experience 3:

A physical copy of Death Magnetic CD – plus all the above (from Experiences 1–2);

Experience 4:

A set of Death Magnetic on 5 vinyl LP albums, in a 180-gram box, with 5 individual sleeves, a "Mission: Metallica" lithograph – plus all the above (from Experiences 1–3).

The Box Magnetic – Death Magnetic (Death in a Coffin):

A collector's edition white coffin-shaped box, in three different sizes (M, L, or XL), which includes: the Death Magnetic CD in a special carton box, the additional CD with 10 demos of the songs from the album[29], a DVD of even more "making of" footage not seen on "Mission: Metallica", an exclusive t-shirt with a Death Magnetic logo, a flag, guitar picks, a fold out coffin-shaped poster with the members of Metallica, and a collector's credit card with a code for a free download of a European show in September.
The box set is already available for pre-order in: United Kingdom, Australia, Poland, Finland, Norway, Spain, Switzerland and Sweden.
On July 17, 2008 (2008-07-17), the album's cover art was revealed through the "Mission Metallica" site. The cover features an empty coffin with a black and white design around it (representing iron filings in a magnetic field) with the Metallica logo at the bottom.


[edit] Digital premiere through video games
In an October 2007 (2007-10) interview with the creators of the Rock Band video game, it was stated that Metallica has given rights to MTV Games, the game's publisher, to have the first single off Death Magnetic available for playability on the game before the album's release.[31] The band have since revealed the first album's first single to be "The Day That Never Comes."

On July 14, 2008 (2008-07-14), it was revealed at the Microsoft E3 demonstration, that the entire Death Magnetic album would be made playable for the game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock at the time when the album is released, and later in October, in the new Guitar Hero game, Guitar Hero World Tour.


Album title
On July 16, 2008 (2008-07-16), James Hetfield commented on the album's title:

“ Death Magnetic, at least the title, to me [...] started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically — rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there, Thinking about death… some people are drawn towards it, and just like a magnet, [and] other people are afraid of it and push away. And the concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about — no one wants to bring it up; it's the big white elephant in the living room. But we all have to deal with it at some point. "

Jeff, if you knew anything about this fucking genere, you would realise that this shite from Metallica wont come anywhere near 'Formation of Damnation' the 2008 release from Testament.

Jesus, piss off and blow Lil fucking Wayne or whatever the sambo is called.

I hope you get murderd by bikers.

Of course my official position here is that I don't feel Metallica to have been good since way back before they even played their first gig (after which they completely sold out only to lose all artistic integrity); of course all in the name of keeping peace with my fellow Getbig contemporaries here; I certainly don't mean to offend your sensitivities fellas. ;D

Save it Jeff, you have revealed you allegiance to the anti piracy fags of Metallica.

Can we assume you own no bootleg mp3s then? no, no we fucking cant, thus despite the fact that the fag Lars would rape you given half a chance, you choose to give his shitty upcoming CD publicity here?

fuck you.

Exactly, and one of the new track names is "The Unforgiven 3" so I think obviously the aim is to go back to where they left off before they completely fell off.    Metallica box sets are cool though, come on now...   ;D
