long intro/heavy jam/verse/even heavier jam/chorus/bridge/wild solo/outro

Today I bought a CD at a petrol station, something I think I've never done before. It is the new Metallica album, Death Magnetic. My bro had told me that the old men of thrash have had a return to form after years of, well, shit. I was convinced pretty much straight away. Lots of old school riffing and noisy angry shit. Cracking quote in one review
Death Magnetic is the musical equivalent of Russia's invasion of Georgia — a sudden act of aggression from a sleeping giant.
Fantastic, I suggest you all go out and download it from your mates as soon as possible. Only joking boys...

Semantic aside...did anyone notice my two uses of the word shit, one the exact opposite of the other? Ain't English grand.

Slow on the uptake as it was released two weeks ago (hehe). It is an album that deserves to be played loud, very loud.
