So after the horrors of "LuLu" Metallica are firmly back in business, this EP contains 4 tracks that for whatever reason didn't make the cut for Death Magnetic.
I think the easiest way of reviewing this is simply to say if you enjoyed DM then you will definitely enjoy this EP as the songs are very similar.
As you can see they are all reasonably long songs (do Metallica do short songs anymore?) and all the songs tend to veer off in different directions over the length of the song, personally I think these 4 tracks are better than several of the songs on DM.
They are fast, aggressive and epic, the songs bring to mind Master of Puppets era Metallica to me as the songs are more progressive than in recent years and contain quieter passages as well as more thrash like sections, in particular there is a passage in "Just a Bullet away" which brings to mind Orion.
All in all then 4 songs, (nearly 30 minutes) of Metallica kicking maximum ass for only £3.50, what are you waiting for?

Metallica are back! After the horrible disappointment that was Lulu this extra for the Death Magnetic album just reminds us why they are the biggest and best metal band in the world. Only four tracks on this, but they are all even longer than is typical for Metallica. The killer riffs and astonishingly fast and brilliant solos are back and the magnificent duo of Hetfield and Hammett are back and bad as ever. Every sond here could have been on any of their albums, especially the first two, which could easily have replaced a couple of tracks on Death Magnetic. My only gripe is that it doesn't seem to be available on CD. I guess everyone downloads these days, but I do like to collect CD's so my Metallica discography will be missing one.

This came out in Dec 11 and I found out it existed Apr 12, so I'm not the greatest Metallica fan checking their news everyday. But I have a few of their albums, my favourite being Death Magnetic.
This is well worth the purchase, esp as I downloaded it for £2.79. I haven't checked the total run time, but other reviews say it's approx 29 minutes.
Anyway, it's very good! The first time through I really enjoyed the music but found the tunes i.e. the tunes Hetfield sang - and the lyrics - to be a little sub-par, even irritating. But by the 3rd run-thru, I'm really enjoying it, and the music gets better and better.
If you're a big Metallica fan, you've prob already got this. If you're the kind of Metallica fan who has some of their records and only REALLY likes one or two of them, then I would still recommend this (esp if one of those was Death Magnetic). Parts of it are really very good indeed!

So glad I bought a laptop to be able to download this.
I was peeved with this group for a while but when I heard Beyond, I realised again that they can be supreme. This is their best.

Metallica's throw away tracks are awesome.
Metallica - Beyond Magnetic is superb. These tracks were basically surplus to Death Magnetic but all these tracks could easily have been on it.

St Anger and Death Magnetic had a love child
And it was this steamer. There is nothing here worth getting excited about, a couple of cool riffs that you think you remember from the Mission Metallica videos, but they are both... Read more

More classic metallica in 4 tracks than load/reload/st anger combined
I loved Death Magnetic in 2008 and it sits in quality ALMOST right up with the classic 4 in my opinion, let down by a couple of weak tracks. Read more
