Honestly everyone talked about this album when it came out. It was a huge step up from the previous album. Pretty much every song on this album is a banger and I highly recommend listening to the whole thing to experience the whole thing.

the more thrashy song from the album

When Death Magnetic came out, most of the hang ups came from audiophiles who despised the production. It was definitely a step up from St. Anger and was seen as a return to form for the band.

That's my ONLY gripe about DM and HTSD, the distortion they added. It gets worse with louder volume vs distortion that was recorded wouldn't be as obvious. At least to me. But good and solid albums regardless. Just not repeatable for me because of the distortion. (but if you download the guitar hero versions, they're distortion free :) )

@Leathurkatt

As an audiophile myself, I actually liked the album. Distortion is part of heavy Metal, especially Thrash Metal. I will definitely agree that DM was way more Metallica than anything off of Saint Anger... That one just weirded me out...

@@jberkhimer Totally get it, but I agree with Leathurkatt. I think they clipping and distortion is supposed to be there, it's part of the art of that album. Yeah, if you listen to the album, examining the production, you may feel like it was "just bad recording". But I don't think they purposely botched it, I think they meant for it to do that. These moments where it clips and distorts seem to be where they're inserting power into the artwork, they're shaking the foundation, sorta.

I'm lucky to own the 45rpm Vinyl Version. The Sound is way more clean and not so distorted like the loundness-war-winner-CD. Do yourself a favor and try to Listen to the vinyl Version. Even saw sb recording the vinyl Version and share it als FLAC somewhere ;-)

Rob’s dad plays flamenco style guitar and taught him. One day while they were sitting around in the studio jamming he busted out some flamenco scales and James and Kirk were blown away. That saucy little riff right before “luck runs out” was inspired by that. I’m not a guitarist per se but I’ve heard this song is fairly difficult to play which is insane that James does this while singing!!

Death Magnetic is my favorite Metallica album. Every song is a banger in my opinion. Maybe because it was the first new album they released that I was old enough to pick up on day one with my own money, but the entire album was played on a loop for weeks after it came out.

Damn. This hits harder than most any Slayer tune. I never realized how heavy Death Magnetic was until you made me slow it down and enjoy it.

This entire album is incredible. I remember when this came out I was reinvigorated with Metallica after feeling burned by their last few albums. Great reaction man!

"Lowman's lyrics" by metallica, is such an underrated and forgotten about song. It's a real slow, personal song. Don't think iv seen any reactor on KZread react to it

This is one of my favorite metallica songs. So much energy, so many sick riffs

You absolutely need to check out their song Atlas Rise. Specifically a live version where they are playing it faster. Another super underrated Metallica song

In my opinion Death Magnetic is one of their best albuns, it could easily be one of the 80's earlier works. Fast and heavy at the same time. And best song of the album

This is my favorite song on the album. They played it live for the first time in my hometown (they said at the time) and I was there, Calgary World Magnetic tour. Epic....freaking epic metallica moment for a long time fan.

This is for sure the best reaction chanel on youtube by a mile. I thought i was subbed but wasnt and im watching this a good while. Subbed now

When I first listen to this song few weeks ago I was like "Dang, a very long and best song I ever heard from them😅" I really like the drums in the music, best part of the song

Great editing! Loved your popping into the clock.

I've been waiting for this!

Your reaction shows the pure joy that I experience every time I hear this song. Great Reaction!! This is IMO one of the top 10 best Metallica songs ever. It grabs you at the very beginning and doesn't let go until the very end.

Finally!!! underrated Masterpiece!!! 🤘 thank you bro, great reaction! Big vibes from Costa Rica

I'm probably going to need a neck brace after the end of this song lol. I just love it when songs pick up speed after the first few seconds, and Metallica are well known for doing that. Absolutely amazing song, and I can't wait till you react to more Metallica!! 🤘😆

Most definitely gotta do Bleeding Me. Your vids are awesome man! Keep it up!

Death Magnetic is their second most recent album and was a return to their thrash roots but with all the skill and sound quality they have developed over the interim since they departed the thrash road for diverse waters. I’d also be willing to bet that the sound they got on this album was what they were going for and failed to achieve on Justice. Certainly if they had followed up Master of Puppets with a refocus on the thrash element rather than continuing the prog-thrash evolution they did with Justice you might have gotten something very similar to Death Magnetic.

Loved this album as it came out when I was getting into metal in high school! One of my favorites from the album alongside the day that never comes , cyanide and my apocalypse ❤️

This album is very solid. At that point in time this was a fantastic comeback album after releasing st anger. It may not be in the same category as their early records. But definitely a record to appreciate somewhat back to old form of Metallica. Deep cut tracks imo I go towards anything off of their load and reload albums. Those two albums alone are severely underrated.

He already reacted to this for James’s bday

Your reactions are so good lol

Best song on there. I could listen to that 24/7/365 on repeat and never tire of it

Alex!!! Long time watcher first time putting up a comment. No body has reacted to dreams in inertia from the code orange!!! Please the first. I’m going to put this on a lot of your videos to hopefully get a response

In general, if the band made a music video for a song it is not a “deep cut”… that being said I am glad you checked this one out cause it’s one of my faves!

5:21 Speaking of playing it on guitar, this is one of my favorite Metallica songs to play. I've been playing for 10 years, so the song is easy enough to where I don't really have to try too hard. But it's complex enough and just the right amount of progressive that it's not boring and keeps you engaged. Very easy to get in the zone with this song. Super fun song to play, it's groovy and love head banging to it.

I've been a Metallica fan since 1984 and IMO this album, when it came out, was the best thing they had done since Master of Puppets

I should listen to this one more often. I keep forgetting how amazing this song is

Ahhhhh you sometimes see a video pop and feel like it was tailor-made for you. Absolute god damn banger and (in my personal opinion) the best track on Death Magnetic. Excited for this one

Death Magnetic is an absolute banger of an album for real. Fun fact: this is yet another song about the Cthulhu mythos. I think the 4th of 5 in their discography? Also, as for James, I'd say he's pretty widely considered a true legend in the metal world. You won't see much hate for him as a musician/singer. Not nearly as polarizing as a guy like Dave Mustaine from what I can tell.

I remember discovering this song while on a church trip in like 2014 when I was 14 when I had just got this pair of beats 🎧 I was just happy to experience this for the first time

Dude this video is beyond lit too

Definitely my favourite song from this album! second the judas kiss, then third the day that never comes!

I still love former Guns N Roses drummer Steve Adler's reaction when Lars played Death Magnetic for him the first time. Adler reportedly said "You don't want to get slower as you get older, but jesus man...you don't get FASTER either!" lol

You never finished the last song on Kill em all :/ also the load and reload album despite some people’s hatred for them are actually pretty good

There is no love/hate category. How could anyone not love James.🤘🤘🤘

One of my fave metallica songs. Loved this album when it came out. Always felt this song would be a great theme song for the Akatsuki.

one of my favourite songs from them and yes I've listened to them for a very long time

"That was just your life" is a good song off this album, one of the few metallica songs i still don't know the words to (for obvious reasons)

i swear i’ve seen u react to this on 2 other occasions

This isn't in between old and new, this is straight up new.

.....you did this song a year ago. I know because I watched it the other day. It was titled "I have a secret birthday surprise for James Hetfield." or something like that.

I remember recommending Death Magnetic to you maybe 2 years ago! Better late than never, but I love seeing you enjoy this album. Every goddamn song in this album is underrated and shamefully discarded. It has incredible solos, incredible ballads and instrumental, magnificent bridges like in Judas Kiss etc.. Just listen the whole thing and you'll see

This is an absolute banger 😎

These guys are legends James and Kirk just played the national anthem at the SF Giants game I was at like a week ago it was so sick.

I liked this song when I first heard it (obviously), but I always associate it with seeing them live. Kirk absolutely shredded it in concert & I daresay it was even the teensiest bit faster 😁

If you’re looking for deep dives, Just A Bullet Away off of the Beyond Magnetic EP has one of their best guitar intros in my opinion. The song also seems pretty reminiscent of something off St. Anger which some people might not like.

Oh yes! This one is my favorite DM song.

Either the live "Outlaw Torn ", ( not the S&M), or "Bleeding Me" from 1999 Woodstock! Both are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

Fun fact: this is the 3rd song in a series of songs that they’ve done all based around the Cthulhu mythos. The other 3 are The Thing That Should Not Be, Call of Ktulu and Dream No More Difficulty wise: it’s not super hard but does require some practice

Awesome 😎 love the death magnetic album I bought it twice because it’s so good

That was kickass

This album doesn’t get enough love

Hey Alex you need to make a full Death Magnetic album review! Seeing your face as happy as mine when I first heard this song makes me sure you'll fucking love the entire album!!!

Broken beaten scarred…my favorite from this album bro. It’s the shit, you’ll dig it for sure. 🤘

They decided to remind everyone that they can simply crush us all whenever they want 🤘

I could have sworn you have done a reaction to this song before!! I do love this song though- it’s in my top 5!! Death Magnetic was actually first thing that I found by Metallica, my best friend had been showing me some of their stuff and this is the first full album that I listen to on my own and I loved it! My favorite now is The Black Album but this is my second favorite and will always have a special place- so my favorite songs on Death Magnetic are this one (obviously) and The Day That Never comes and Cyanide!! 🤘🤘

The song on guitar hero was one of the funnest and hardest for me to play on expert! My wrist and arms would be on fire but OMG it was worth it!🎸

Great reaction Alex🤘🤘Keep the death Magnetic train rolling bro 👍 👍

A riff is defined as a short, repeated chord or melody loop of a more or less accompanying character. So pretty much every guitar part in rock n metal songs are riffs, except solos or fills, which are just like a one time per song, uniquely sounding thing

You reacted to this already my guy

Highly recommend That Was Just Your Life, off of the same album

Dude, your Halloween mask behind you? FTW

Maybe I didn't see this anyone answer and Im super late to this, but the difficulty in learning this, solo included, is about a 6. I remember learning this in my sophomore year when this came out and I absolutely loved playing it. It took me roughly 3 hours to learn the whole song, with the exception of the solo which was weirdly less interesting, but in total for a smooth recording for my own prideful enjoyment was about 6 hours. This song is heavy and goes hard and I love the thrashing it makes me groove my body into while playing

Death magnetic to me is the album where they took their first four albums and rolled them all into one and this was the bastard child of it so freakin heavy bro!!!!

I suggest listening to Now That We're Dead. One of my favorite drum parts!
