* LoudnessWar: This album is One of the most infamous for examples since the 1997 edition of ''Music/RawPower'', clocking in at just [=DR3=] on CD copies; the vinyl release is at a more manageable [=DR8=], but it's still loaded with clipping. According to mastering engineer Ted Jensen, producer Music/RickRubin sent in the album pre-compressed, and the most he could do as a result was make slight adjustments. The one notable exception was the stems included with ''VideoGame/GuitarHero 3'', which were sent in before the compression was applied and are consequently much more dynamic. This got to the point where the 2015 remaster went out of its compressed mastering.way to undo much of the compression, with the results coming in at [=DR7=], which is still heavily compressed, but much less so than the original 2008 CD.

''Death Magnetic'' is the ninth studio album by Music/{{Metallica}}, released on September 12, 2008, by Creator/WarnerBrosRecords.
Following the release of 2003's ''Music/StAnger'' and the addition of bassist Robert Trujillo (Music/SuicidalTendencies, Music/OzzyOsbourne), tensions between the band members had started to cool off following the TroubledProduction of the previous album. The band started writing material for this album while on tour for ''St. Anger'' and noted that it sounded much closer to their earlier material than anything they had done since [[Music/MetallicaAlbum the Black Album]] in 1991. The band went into the studio and started recording with producer Music/RickRubin in 2007 and spent over a year working on the new album.
Musically, this album is a return to the ThrashMetal sound of their first four albums, as promised earlier by the band, with lead single "The Day That Never Comes" teasing at this by sounding like 80s ballad [[Music/RideTheLightning "Fade to Black"]] and exploding into a thrashy instrumental outro similar to that of [[Music/AndJusticeForAll1988 "One"]]. Solidifying their return to form is the revival of their classic-era logo, following two makeovers (first for ''Music/LoadAndReLoad'', and then for ''Music/StAnger'').
''Death Magnetic'' succeeded at winning back enough of the audience alienated by the more mainstream direction of their post-80s albums by being certified platinum less than six weeks after release. The band then spent two years touring for the album. "My Apocalypse" also won the UsefulNotes/GrammyAward for Best Metal Performance.

* AlbumTitleDrop: Happens in "My Apocalypse"
--> "Death magnetic\\
Pulling closer still"
* BreatherEpisode:
** "Cyanide" is one of the more upbeat songs and has more optimistic lyrics near the end. It appears between one of the heaviest songs ("All Nightmare Long") and the most melancholic one ("The Unforgiven III").
---> "An air of freshly broken ground\\
A concrete angel laid right down\\
Upon the grave which swallows fast\\
It's peace at last, oh, peace at last"
** Despite its name and [[EpicRocking length]], the instrumental "Suicide & Redemption" is relatively calm by the standards of the album, even containing a quieter melodic section in the middle, whereas most of the rest of the songs are more intense and have lyrics about death and violence.
* CosmicHorrorStory: "All Nightmare Long" is inspired by Literature/TheHoundsOfTindalos.
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: The majority of the songs take more than a minute for the vocals to start. Album opener "That Was Just Your Life" takes almost two minutes.
* EpicRocking: Every song except "My Apocalypse" qualifies, and even that one has a new intro for live performances to make it pass the six-minute mark.
* AGodAmI: "The Judas Kiss"
--> "Judas lives, recite this vow\\
I've become your new god now"
* {{Instrumentals}}: "Suicide & Redemption" is notable for being the band's first instrumental since "[[Music/AndJusticeForAll1988 To Live Is to Die]]".
* LoudnessWar: This album is infamous for its compressed mastering.
* LyricalDissonance: Despite being one of the most upbeat songs, "Cyanide" is still about suicide.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "All Nightmare Long"
--> "Luck. Runs. Out."
* RevisitingTheRoots: This album brought Metallica back to their ThrashMetal roots after taking a more commercial direction with [[Music/MetallicaAlbum the Black Album]], abandoning their roots completely in favor of blues-based hard rock with [[Music/LoadAndReLoad the Load duology]], and experimenting with nu metal with ''Music/StAnger''. It also brings back the classic Metallica logo and is even modeled loosely after the formula of their second-through-fourth albums by including a complex ballad with a faster/heavier outro as the fourth track ("The Day That Never Comes") and a lengthy instrumental near the end ("Suicide & Redemption").
* RockMeAsmodeus: "The Judas Kiss" is implied to be about Satan.
-->"Followed you from dawn of time\\
Whispered thoughts into your mind"
* SequelSong: As the name suggests, "The Unforgiven III" is this to "[[Music/MetallicaAlbum The Unforgiven]]" and "[[Music/LoadAndReLoad The Unforgiven II]]". Unlike II, however, III does not directly reference the original. It instead captures the spirit by being a ballad about a lack of self-forgiveness.
