Load was the beginning of the downhill slide.  There are a couple alright  
songs, but all albums before that were filled with good songs.  Reload was  
utter crap (Unforgiven 2?  Really!???).  St. Anger I never really liked,  
although I've heard that some people like it.  It's not my style, but you  
can't really say it was Metallica "selling out".

Death Magnetic is a complete return to their original style.  I feel some  
of the solos are rehashed, but there is a lot of good stuff on there.
