I'm enjoying the new Metallica record, but I also enjoyed Death Magnetic quite a bit as well and think it still holds up as a decent trash record.
One of the things I really like about the reinvigorated Metallica is that they just sound so damn relaxed & confident now. Like they've had the weight of the world lifted from their shoulders and they are able to just step on the gas & go.
No pressure to redefine who they are, or play catch up with a younger breed of heavy bands, just content to put out some solid heavy records and not over think it.
