Did you really expect anything where Lars had a final say in to actually sound even remotely decent? The excrement port is over 80% deaf.

can you fix the images? I’m interested in seeing them.

Is it possible for you to use google chrome?

That worked. Thanks! Weird, though.

I think now it's working also on Bing.

That's probably the best sentence to summarise what's wrong with this album, and I'm not talking about the drums.

Do you need an amplifier that goes to 11 for playback?

The compression is just terrible on every song. Odd considering they redid Death Magnetic because of this very problem.

Given the title of the thread. For those who didn't know:

Metallica Wins the Loudness Wars

The CD release of Death Magnetic is massively limited and overcompressed. Listen to before-and-after samples using the Guitar Hero mix as a reference.

Even mentioned in Wikipedia. Then you know it's damn bad if such an aspect is brought up in a general thread about that album:

"The album received positive reviews, but its production was criticized as overcompressed and cited as a product of the loudness war."
