Hello, I know that many people hate on Metallica for not maintaining their thrash style, but I thought that "death magnetic" was a decent thrash album, especially with songs like, "my apocalypse" and "that was just your life." So it kinda pisses me off that so many die hard thrash fans hate on Metallica. I myself am a diehard thrash fan and still love Metallica for their first four albums and what they've done for thrash. Also, if I didn't start listening to Metallica (and it's probably the same for many others) I wouldn't have become such a huge fan of thrash. Another personal connection I've had with their music was just a few months ago when I was going through a deep depression. "Fade to black" helped me a lot and is probably one of the reasons I didn't kill myself. Anyways, although the they're not exactly what they used to be I still enjoy their first four albums. It's kinda the same with g n r, their new stuff sucks but, their first three albums were incredible. What do you guys think?
