I just got a copy of Death Magnetic from Metallica, and I was wondering if anyone had heard it yet, and what they'd thought of it.

I know Metallica is a sensitive subject on some forums, because generally speaking they are a band you either love or hate, but I've spent most of my life growing up listening to these guys, and this album was quite a relief compared to the garbage they released on St.Anger. Although truthfully nothing seems to have quite the same feel as anything they released on the Black album or prior albums, although it is much closer to what you'd expect from them.
