METALLICA's 'Death Magnetic' Tops French Chart - Sep. 17, 2008
METALLICA's "Death Magnetic" has topped the official French album chart for the week ending September 13. In addition, the band has no less than eight albums on the French "Back Catalogue" chart:

#4: Metallica
#6: Master Of Puppets
#10: …And Justice For All
#11: Ride The Lightning
#14: Kill 'Em All
#24: S&M
#29: St. Anger
#36: Reload

Several copies of "Death Magnetic" were sold early at a Paris record store on September 2, which led to the entire album being leaked online within hours.

"Death Magnetic" sold nearly half a million copies in the United States in just a three-day sales window to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart.

The band's first studio album since 2003 moved 490,000 copies in its abbreviated frame, scheduled off-cycle on a Friday to accommodate a worldwide release date.

According to Billboard.com, METALLICA is the first group to see five of its albums bow at No. 1 on The Billboard 200. Previously, the act was tied with THE BEATLES, U2 and the DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, with four each.

It is the first Metallica album I have bought since 1991. It is nice now listen to a new Metallica album without being whole-heartedly disappointed.

guitar hero 3 version of Deaf Magnetic is actually half listenable. Not the best, but a needed break on my eardrums.

I definitely recommend downloading it and throwing away the official release.

If he did and that is supposed to be a joke about Cliff Burton's death? I hope he dies in a car crash tonight. With no other casulties obviously.

With only 25000 records sold. A small opening week in a market that stands in ruin. Nothing to write home about.

damn i cant beleive you actually have time to post shit inbetween beating off to old ass AC/DC pictures.We got it you are going to download the album the firdst chance you get ,because nobody as fucking dumb as your ass could ever have a job. maybe your mom will buy you one of the many used copies that will be available soon after its release,that is if you mow the lawn and clean your room . you need to get kicked in the head by a horse or something ,maybe that will help you get a clue.

Enjoy the SOUNDS IMPROVEMENTS on the inital Guitar Hero 3 rip from D3ADLIN3R

- Channels Swap Back in Place
- Added some Treble EQ
- Raised the db a little
- Applied Filter to dimish just a little the drum presence
- A little touch of compression to ajust the bass presence
- Track Volume Normalizing
- NO FREAKING CLIPPING (even if TDTNC is a very ''hot'' track at some place)
