Feels like they've lost their touch (for me, anyways)
Death Magnetic, really? I thought that it actually came back around and making music that didn't just sound like
...And Justice For All or
Master of Puppets or
Kill 'em All, but more like a combination of each album they've made so far meshing into an album of combined experience. The music still sounds like Metallica - not just one stage of their career's or styles - but all of them (except for St. Anger xD). Also on that note, I loved Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger. Nothing more I can say about them other than I think they're good albums.
...It's annoying waiting for a new release though. It's been so long.
Unlike Megadeth, who have been pumping out album after album after album. I like how with Megadeth their sound evolved into something the same but much more after their Hard Rock phase. From
The System Has Failed to
Th1rt3en, the albums were different enough and interesting enough to not just stale between releases. For me they've stayed interesting. But then theres
Supercollider, where they seem to have released an album that doesn't sound all that good or different or interesting. To be honest I found about half the tracks were kinda alright, but for the most part it sounds like it was just churned out in an attempt to fill a record slot in a contract that they just don't really want to do anymore, which is kinda sad seeing as this wasn't the case and it was their first release on Mustaine's own label Tradecraft.
