...song in the context of Death Magnetic, but it sits in the lower tier of this CD. So when this album hit, people really weren't expecting the shocker of an album I have here in my hands (Shocking in both very good and bad ways)!

'Death Magnetic' ... ...the albums main topic is Death and Suicide, hence the dirty dark production and evil sound we have on this CD.
The chorus that blows 'Enter Sandman' off the face of the earth astonishingly catches you out at 2 minutes and 24 seconds "Hunt you down without mercy, hunt you down all nightmare long. Feel us breathe upon your face. Feel us shift, every move we trace…." This is unbelievable, probably their best chorus from at least the last 15 years, ...

This album doesn't have a single song that i dislike, this may be due to the fact that there is a strong element that is consistent between such as the guitar sounds. ...
