Yeah, this album is a big step in the right direction, I can't listen to St. Anger, I don't think I am the only one and Death Magnetic is going to help a lot of fans get over that dissapointment and win some new younger fans.
When I was listening to the cool intro on Unforgiven III, I thought heaps of metal acts have a huge range of musical styles that they dip into, I like when metal bands switch between balls to the wall and quiet and melodic, how come it never goes the other way. Just once I would love to be listening to Enya, Michael Buble or John Williams and they break out into detuned distortion
Nevertheless some classical musicians can rock, just listen to the Scorpions with the Berlin Philharmonic on Rock You Like a Hurricane.
