I vote YES.

enough said, lol, what about other songs? none of them are thrash?

Some songs remind me of thrash but when I hear the whole album I think its a heavy metal album.

and i think it's not real thrash metal

then why you voted yes? i mean ok you like it, but if you think it is not thrash why dont you say: "it's not thrash but i like it a lot!"
why should you vote yes? just because you like the album?

Well i like album but more than i like the band

I think it could be taken as that, because a lot of people are labeling it Nu, which I would not like if it was. Thrash.

Labelling this album as Nu is just ridiculous I totally agree. But I still disagree that this album is thrash, only a few songs have thrash elements in them the rest are just just pure plain heavy metal.
But Nu never.

Sounds to me more like a straight up heavy metal album.

Sometimes i think - trash - sometimes - alternative. But it is not heavy metal. That is why Judas's "Nostradamus" may be the winner in 2008
I can say that it is "alternative trash" metal. I heard some alternative riffs for my mind. Lyrics are not deep and clever. We can hear this themes and riffs from other of hundreds bands. Madness, schizophrenia, brutality...
Boring...

It is basically a thrash album, peppered with some of the later alternative elements they embraced from the 90's onwards. Songs like "My Apocalypse" and "That Was Just Your Life" are definitely thrash songs, and certain parts in other songs are also thrash. I like to call it a "mature thrash album".

As I remember metallica's last genre was called just Heavy Metal on their metal storm's page, but now it says Thrash Heavy Metal. if Im not wrong about this change, now Im really happy cause of this thread. it seems that it helped a little.

When you put it like that it really sounds like their a bunch of old dudes trying to get back some former glory. And if this 'mature thrash' exists what the hell is it? Some of Death Magnetic is great, and some of it seems watered down, so is this so called 'mature thrash' in fact a metal album with some thrash elements? Its true that some of Death Magnetic is thrash, but 'some' thrash is not enough to constitute a thrash album.

anyway I think somthing is changed over there, 90's heavy metal? I cant remember such things. there is difference. cause Trash Heavy is acceptable. and my question shows that there was such a thing I dont know.

Last time Metallica's style was changed was February 1 2008 so way before this thread was started. Btw, as if we would listen to the nonsense ramblings in this thread from some Metallica fanboys.

you are a metallica fanboy arent you?

It's really both, but a lot of songs are thrash. i voted thrash

I guess it really deosnt matter if this is thrash or not because it is a step in the right direction for Metallica. After years of bad albums they needed to put out something good. This is the best Metallica album since 1991, we should just be happy they didnt put out another st. anger. If you are a fan of Metallica you just gotta be happy with what is on this album because it is pretty great.

I say yes. While it's not really comparable to their earliest releases, DM definitely has some thrash elements.

True, but I wouldn't call it an outright 'Thrash album' as such because of that. My opinion on that matter leans more towards that of Marcel's earlier thoughts.

However, regardless of how one thinks of Metallica in this day and age, I do like this album. One could claim it is contrived in a way, and a group of multi-millionaires playing music which has elements from their past may make many potential listeners approach the album with a different mindset. But all things considered, I think it's a pretty damn good album.

I think oyu can love metallica even if you are 60. why not? why ppl say: "Marcel you went to metallica's concert on this age?!!!!" its very meaningless. why new metallers think that metallica is kidish or ...

the other thing is about the genre. I dont think if this album is not a thrash album it means its a bad album! it can be a heavy metal album and a good one. someone overhere on this thread think that we(fanboys) are trying to say that this is a good album cause its a thrash one. no at least not IMO. I just wanted to discover that how many ppl are agree with me, and Im sure that if I opened a poll about "is it a heavy album or not" more ppl would vote for no I think.

@ Ktulu and Marcel,

I remembered why I opened this poll! it was cause of nominations. MS had nominated it under Heavy Metal name. and for me it was more Trash. but all in all, why its not nominated in both genres? if an album is good it can harvest all awards I think. I think it was cause of Testament. but dont care anymore.

@TBG: if you don't care why do you keep bringing up the subject? It was nominated in the heavy metal category because it's a heavy metal album (with thrash elements) not the other way around. If you feel otherwise to bad for you

because that is how we roll. we don't want some useless poll like Terrorizer where one band wins all. the majority (after the fact and as evidenced by this poll) feel the album qualified as heavy. we put it in heavy.

get over it.

Sir Yes Sir.

I think the album Death Magnetic, Metallica wanted to return to his style, and I think they succeeded. For me it is a very good album.

Great album

It is thrash-y at times, but generally I'd call it a heavy metal album.
