hahahaha I was going to say that exact phrase.
No surprises here
Also, Death Magnetic > United Abominations, Christ Illusion, We’ve Come for You All
Flame all you want
I like death magnetic, but not more than Christ Illusions.
But it is still great to see a real hard rock/metal band hit Platinum status these days.
The only bands that can still do that is mainstream Jungle, Country,or talentless pop bands. That buy over half their beats and songs, And dont even write thier own music.
Good Job Meallica!!!
This is the greatest CD to come out since Killer Queen. Period.
all hail the kings
3 weeks at #1, they deserve it. Death Magnetic was actually a really good album. Kudos.
The Kings!
