Call Death Magnetic Kirk Hammett's revenge. Famously browbeaten into accepting Lars
Ulrich and producers Bob Rock's dictum that guitar solos were "dated"
and thereby verboten for 2003's St. Anger -- a fraught recording
chronicled on the 2004 documentary Some Kind of Monster -- Metallica's
lead guitarist dominates this 2008 sequel, playing with an euphoric fury
not heard in years, if not decades. This aesthetic shift isn't because
Hammett suddenly rules the band: powerless to add solos to St. Anger, he
couldn't reinstate them without the blessing of Ulrich and James
Hetfield, the politburo of Metallica. The duo suffered some combination
of shame and humility in the wake of the muddled St. Anger and Monster,
convincing these two unmovable forces to change direction. They ditched
longtime producer Rock -- who'd helmed every album since 1991's
breakthrough blockbuster Metallica -- in favor of Rick Rubin, patron
saint of all veteran rockers looking to reconnect with their early
spark. Rubin may be the go-to producer for wayward superstars but as the
producer of Slayer, he's also rooted in thrash, so he understands the
core of Metallica's greatness and gently steers them back to basics on
Death Magnetic.

Of course, Metallica's basics are pretty complex: intertwined guitar
riffs, frenetic solos, and thunderous double-bass drums stitched
together as intricate seven-minute suites. Metallica slowly weaned
themselves away from labyrinthine metal during the '90s, tempering their
intensity, straightening out riffs, spending nearly as much time
exploring detours as driving the main road, all the while losing sight
of their identity. This culminated in the confused St. Anger, a
transparent and botched attempt at returning to their roots, crippled by
the chaos surrounding the departure of bassist Jason Newsted. With all
their problems sorted out in public -- including replacing Newsted with
Robert Trujillo, who acquiesces to the Metallica custom of being buried
far, far in the mix -- the group embraces every gnarled, ugly thing they
eschewed in the years since "Metallica." Death Magnetic bounces the
band back to the days before Bob Rock, roughly sounding as if it could
come after ...And Justice for All. Such a deliberate revival of the
glory days can be tricky, as it could make a group seem stuck in the
past -- or, just as badly, they can get essential elements wrong -- but
Death Magnetic is a resounding success because they hunker down and
embrace their core strengths, recognizing that their greatest asset is
that nobody else makes noise in the same way as they do.

That's the pleasure of Death Magnetic: hearing Metallica sound like
Metallica again. Individual songs and, especially, Hetfield's lyrics --
less the confessional ballast of St. Anger, more a traditional blend of
angst and terror -- are secondary to how the band sounds, how they spit,
snarl, and surge, how they seem alive. Metallica isn't replicating
moves they made in the '80s, they're reinvigorated by the spirit of
their early years, adding shading they've learned in the '90s, whether
it's the symphonic tension of "The Unforgiven III" or threading curdled
blues licks through the thrash. Listening to the band play, it's hard
not to thrill at Metallica's mastery of aggression and escalation. There
is no denying that the band is older and settled, no longer fueled by
the hunger and testosterone that made their '80s albums so gripping, but
on Death Magnetic older doesn't mean less potent. Metallica is still
vitally violent and on this terrific album -- a de facto comeback, even
if they never really went away -- they're finally acting like they enjoy
being a great rock band.
