As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I wouldn't replace anything on Death Magnetic. I'm happy with the set of songs that were chosen for it. However, I would be happy to see something like this be released...

Disc One

1. That Was Just Your Life
2. The End of the Line
3. Broken, Beat & Scarred
4. The Day That Never Comes
5. All Nightmare Long
6. Cyanide
7. The Unforgiven III
8. The Judas Kiss
9. Suicide & Redemption
10. My Apocalypse

Disc Two

1. Hate Train
2. Just a Bullet Away
3. Hell and Back
4. Rebel of Babylon
5. Remember Tomorrow
6. Suicide & Redemption (alternate)

End of the Line, BBS, Cyanide gone.

Despite a great first half of the song, I'd also remove "Day" due to the boring pointless second half. The drumming also lets the song down, Lars classic double hit on the snare followed by a pause and then a crash/snare hit is used in abundance and it isn't very good.

UN3 is not only an excellent song but also made this album "feel" like a Metallica album. Its inclusion tied this album in with Metallica's history so I think it definitely deserves to stay.

The "new" 4 should all have been included. Poor decision making on Metallica's part there!

That Was Just Your Life
The End of the Line

Just release it as a two-disc album with proper production, and I'll pay for it.

Agreed. I would like to have a physical copy of these new songs

[crosby87]

1- That was Just your life
2- Hate Train
3- Just a Bullet Away
4- The Day that never comes
5- All Nightmare Long
6- Broken Beat and Scarred
7- Rebel of Babylon
8- To Hell and Back
9- The Judas Kiss
10- Suicide and redemption
11- My Apocalypse

You could have 11 songs with cutting : - 1.30 minutes in the Judas Kiss (second solo..boring) + The last minute of S/Redemption repetitive

TEOTL - CYANIDE + U3 out...good songs but not great.

Honestly with those 11 songs in that order....DM would be my favorite Metallica album ( Epic Album...look the first 5 songs !!) It's currently my 4th (very good)

It amazes us that you would put Hell and Back twice

[Strider]

It's that good

[The_Wanderer]

My choices are very similar to a lot of others on here, which makes me feel good not being the only one to feel certain songs are weaker or stronger then others. Here's my list, with reasons for trading out the ones I did:

1) That Was Just You Life
2) The End of The Line
3) Just a Bullet Away - Trading out BBS, because while it has very strong moments it feels like it gets bogged down by repetition much too quickly. Bullet has that same driving groove as BBS, just with a bit more edge to it, the vocal melody is just as catchy, and the break into the great middle section adds a lot to it.
4) The Day That Never Comes
5) All Nightmare Long
6) Hell and Back - Trading out Cyanide because of its arrangements. Not that it's not a very catchy song with that chorus and vocal melody, but arranging wise, Hell and Back is better put together, flows smoother, and I find the lyrics more powerful.
7) Unforgiven III
8) Rebel of Babylon - Trading out Judas Kiss for the same reasons as BBS. It gets bogged down by way to much repetition and its length just makes it boring really quickly. No punch or energy to it after a few minutes as oppose to Rebel, which I also again feel has stronger lyrics and structure.
9) Suicide and Redemption.
10) My Apocalypse.

Agreed, in the sense that I will now look at it as a double album - though I haven't really given a lot of thought to which spot I would place the new songs. I'm not taking any of the original 10 off.

2. The End of the Line

6. Broken, Beat & Scarred
7. The Day That Never Comes

[southernviper]

Hi! this is my first post so hello to everyone and excuse me for my english. I'm not from a english speaking country...

first at all, i want to say that from my point of view new songs complets DM and give a new "flavour" to the album if you mix the songs in some way.
I cannot quit any song. First beucause i think there are all good if not excelent, and second, it's a question of respect to the band. So i would make a new double cd album which i think it should be. The new songs are incredible and Rebel it's for me the best song they have writen since Bleeding. with this configuration of the songs, the albums sounds now like a new Load but in the AJFA territory. By the way i love Load album.

here i go.

Disc 1

1. That was just your Life
2. The End of the Line
3. Cyanide
4. The Day that Never Comes
5. Hate Train
6. Just a Bullet Away
7. My Apocalypse


Disc 2

1. All Nightmare Long
2. Rebel of Babylon
3. Broken, Beat and Scarred
4. The Unforgiven III
5. The Judas Kiss
6. Suicide & Redemption
7. To Hell and Back


It would be great if somebody is capable to make it sound at similar volume to mix it! I'm going to take some time without listening to the album and start to listen again with this new conf.

I don't care if you said ten songs THIS is how it should of been.

With a little edit 110% agreed.

[CrackerJack]

Am I the only person that not only didn't care for Suicide and Redemption but makes that my first song to axe from the album if I were to replace any with BDM songs?

I agree, the only good part about that song is the clean middle section and the solo/post-solo parts that follow it. The intro and outro are boring and unnecessary time-fillers.

[Wolfish]

The only song on DM I would've left off in favour of one of the BM tracks would be Cyanide. It's a pitty since I like some parts of it, such as the solo, the lyrics, the drumming, and the chorus riff, but the "happy" riff doesn't cut it for me, it takes away from the song, from its dark vibe.
