I bought the CD, but the only place I can listen to it is in my car. My car deck is a cheap factory POS (just like the speakers), so it masks everything just fine.

My iPod, iPhone, iMac, Apple TV... my headphones, my living room speakers, my computer speakers... can't listen to it. It's complete garbage. Every song makes my speakers sound like they're blown.

So... naturally... even though I bought the CD, I still had to download a bittorrented, re-mastered copy of it that I could listen to on real speakers.

How ironic is that? Doubly so, knowing that it's Metallica.

(...and yeah, I'm old-school. I don't own the black album or anything they've done since then... except for Death Magnetic. I love the album, and it's sitting on my shelf right next to Kill Em All, Lightning, Puppets and Justice.)
