Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” Debuts at Number 1
September 16th, 2008 Posted in Music
In no way is this surprising. First of all it’s Metallica, they could fart into a microphone and it’d go at least triple-platinum; secondly, this album is fucking awesome. Ultimate-Guitar reports:
Metallica’s much anticipated follow-up to St. Anger, Death Magnetic, will debut at Number One on the Billboard 200 album chart. The debut marks the return of the four horsemen; James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich and Robert Trujillo. The band worked with Rick Rubin, Slayer’s famous producer, and it forced Metallica into a new headspace.
Metallica’s Death Magnetic beat out albums by Kid Rock, Young Jeezy, Jessica Simpson and LL Cool J for the top slot. The tour kicks off October 21 in Glendale, Arizona.
Seriously, this album fan-fucking-tastic. It’s easily the best album to be released this year. so stop vigorously fondling yourself to those Megan Fox pictures and go out and buy it.
